[Marriage First, Love Later + One-on-One Romance + Strong but Frail Heroine Tames a Spoiled Young Master]
Shen Nanqiao, daughter of a wealthy Jiangnan tycoon, is as delicate as a willow in the breeze. She’s out of breath after just a few steps, as if the slightest gust might knock her over. But no one knows she was born with incredible strength and can uproot a weeping willow with her bare hands!
When her father suddenly falls gravely ill, greedy relatives circle like wolves, eager to seize the family fortune. To protect his daughter, he uses his past kindness to force the Marquis of Wu’an’s household in the capital to marry her.
She arrives at the marquis’s residence with a lavish wedding procession. On their wedding night, the notoriously rebellious second son sneers, “I absolutely won’t touch you. I’m going to the study!”
Before he can finish, Shen Nanqiao chops him unconscious, ties him to the canopy bed, and stuffs a bridal veil into his mouth.
When the second son wakes in the middle of the night and struggles desperately, he sees his sweet, delicate bride crush a walnut in her bare hand. She says matter-of-factly, “You don’t have to consummate the marriage, but tomorrow morning, everyone must believe that we did. If you refuse, I don’t mind knocking you out again.”
The second son: “???”
Later, everyone in the capital waits for Shen Nanqiao to be cast out, only to see the once-arrogant, unruly second son following her around every day, serving her tea and water and turning into a fiercely devoted husband. Shen Nanqiao not only helps her hopeless husband make a name for himself, but also uncovers the shocking plot behind her mother’s murder, making the perpetrators pay for their crimes!
