The Plump Little Wife Is Bewildered by Her Iron-Hard, Rough-Hewn Husband's Affection

[Period Setting + Marriage First, Love Later + Secret Crush + Slow-Burn Romance + Sweet Indulgence + Devoted Couple + Building a Fortune + Five-Year Age Gap]

A plump beauty versus a sharp-tongued, rugged hard man.

Su Qingwan’s father and a widow plotted to sell her to a fool in the neighboring village as his wife. She ran away in the middle of the night, then accidentally fainted and fell asleep outside the home of the tough-as-nails Lu Chiye.

Everyone said Lu Chiye was cold, fierce, and ruthless, and that he had a physical defect.

Su Qingwan thought that was just fine. She would have a place to stay and wouldn’t have to worry about other people bothering her. After overhearing her father and Widow Liu whispering together, she found the idea a little disgusting. Better that he had a defect, then.

She never expected that after they married, he would cherish her, while her mother-in-law treated her like her own daughter.

And that sharp-tongued man’s gaze grew more and more undisguised. Day and night, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Su Qingwan scolded him: “Pervert.”

The man only laughed. “Wife, I’ve been wrapped around your finger for life.”
