[Both leads are sexually inexperienced + One-on-one romance + Sweet romance + Substitute bride + True and fake heiresses]
Three years after being brought back to the Ji family, Jiang Yu was still an outsider. The Ji family only cared about their fake heiress, Ji Yuan.
It wasn’t until an imperial decree of marriage arrived that the Ji family, unwilling to let Ji Yuan marry Pei Wang, the brutally vicious Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, remembered that Jiang Yu was their daughter too.
So they broke off Jiang Yu’s engagement and forced her to take Ji Yuan’s place. To keep her from running away again, they went so far as to break her leg and give her a muscle-relaxing drug.
Jiang Yu seethed with resentment. If the Ji family could treat her so mercilessly, she would make sure they suffered too.
In secret, she spread gossip such as, “The Ji family doesn’t care about blood ties, only feelings. It doesn’t matter whether the children are really theirs.”
Before long, her eldest brother’s wife, whose heart belonged to someone else and whose relationship with him was distant, was revealed to be pregnant.
And the second sister-in-law gave birth to a girl, not the boy the physician had initially predicted...
On their wedding night, Jiang Yu told Pei Wang everything about the substitution.
She had long since prepared herself for Pei Wang’s thunderous fury. All she wanted was to see the Ji family suffer.
But to her surprise, Pei Wang didn’t take his anger out on her. He even found a physician to treat her injuries and helped her get revenge.
She realized that this vicious, ruthless “Living King of Hell” was not quite like the man in the rumors...
