[Completed + irresistibly sweet, powerful heroine × scheming male lead pretending to be fragile and sickly + Marriage Before Love + satisfying secret identity reveals + ultra-sweet romance]
Everyone in the capital knew that Jiang Ci, the true daughter recently brought back by the Jiang family, was a crybaby and a pushover. Her cruel stepmother had forced her into a substitute marriage with the Fu family's heir, Fu Yanci, a man rumored to be crippled in both legs and vicious-tempered, to bring him good fortune!
Everyone shook their heads. That delicate flower would be crushed by the infamous Fu Devil and wouldn't survive her wedding night!
On their wedding day, Jiang Ci hugged a little pillow and knocked on the master bedroom door. Her eyes were red, and her voice was soft and sweet. “Hubby, I'm afraid of the dark.”
But the man rumored to be violent and willful blushed and swept her into his arms, gently coaxing her. “It's okay, sweetheart. I'm here.”
Later, at a Fu family banquet, her stepsister deliberately picked on Jiang Ci, hoping to see her make a fool of herself.
Jiang Ci casually played a piano piece that stunned the whole room, and her secret identity was exposed: she was none other than the mysterious international piano virtuoso “C”!
Her stepsister couldn't accept it and challenged her to a medical contest. Jiang Ci brought someone back from the brink of death with her silver needles, revealing another secret identity: she was the national-treasure-level miracle doctor “Q”!
Everyone's jaws hit the floor. “We thought she was a country bumpkin?!”
Just as everyone began to think Jiang Ci was untouchable, Fu Yanci, who had gotten to his feet, pinned her against a wall in front of the crowd. His voice was husky, his expression aggrieved. “Wife, how about making me dinner when we get home? I want sweet-and-sour ribs.”
Everyone: ...Who is this clingy, whiny guy? Give us back the ruthless Fu Ye!
Later, Jiang Ci's biological parents came looking for her. They turned out to be the heads of a reclusive, powerful family who doted on her without limit!
Her stepmother's family got down on their knees and begged forgiveness. Jiang Ci sneered. “Too late!”
Everyone faces their comeuppance + the male lead's long-planned secret crush finally comes true
