Reborn as a Timid Little Wimp, I Was Doted on by the Local Bully

【Historical slice of life + A slow and steady romance + Devoted husband who always takes her side + Mildly coercive romance + Happy ending】 When Xiao Yue opens her eyes, she has become the third daughter of the Xiao family in Little Well Alley, Nanhe County. Whether it’s the original Xiao Yue or Xiao Yue who has transmigrated into her, she is a complete pushover. Her grandmother treats her like a bringer of bad luck and beats and scolds her at the drop of a hat. Her brother is set on selling their younger sister to a powerful family as a concubine. Her sister-in-law is harsh with her, while her younger sister-in-law can’t stand anyone eating without earning their keep. Xiao Yue is trapped in a miserable life, too afraid to speak up even when she’s angry, and forced to tread carefully every day. That is, until she meets Gu Fengjin, the richest man in Nanhe County, whose background is shrouded in mystery. Gu Fengjin rescues her from the mire and shelters her beneath his wings. Xiao Yue thinks she’s found an honorable gentleman, never realizing she has already stepped into a trap he laid for her. Nor does she know that beneath his proper exterior lurks a bloodthirsty fiend with a ruthless streak. - Gu Fengjin, an illegitimate son of a marquis, settled in the little-known Nanhe County to escape persecution by his legitimate mother. He has countless admirers, yet not one has ever made it through the gates of the Gu residence. The third daughter of the Xiao family has a small, fair face and a long black braid. At first sight, Gu Fengjin takes her to heart. He carefully coaxes and tricks her into his home, cherishing her so much he wants to hold her in the palm of his hand. But she is only humoring him, all the while looking for a chance to escape. He can scold her, but he can’t bring himself to. He can hit her, but that would be the death of him. What can he do? Coax her, of course. - A curious tale from the capital. The illegitimate son of the Marquis of Wu'an, who was raised in a backwater, not only makes a triumphant return to the capital and inherits the title of Marquis of Wu'an, but also insists on taking a commoner as his principal wife. Even more astonishing, the young Marquis Gu declares that he will never take a concubine!
