The Day My Engagement Was Called Off, I Married a Lame Scholar!

(The heroine is no pushover or innocent white lotus. She's resourceful and cunning.)

The day Shen Yan was publicly humiliated and had his engagement broken off, he became the laughingstock of the whole village.

Once destined for a bright future, he became a cripple overnight. His leg was broken, and his fiancée had run off.

Everyone said Shen Yan's life was over.

Only Lin Sang sang smiled.

She had waited an entire year for this day.

She knew Shen Yan was the male lead in a book, destined to become a high-ranking official with power over the court.

To secure this golden opportunity, she had her parents go propose that very day, and married into the Shen family three days later.

The villagers all mocked her for being blind and foolish, rushing headlong into a fire pit.

After the wedding, she looked at the dilapidated household before her: a mother-in-law bedridden and coughing every few steps, a blind and disabled father-in-law, a younger brother-in-law and sister-in-law who were bullied constantly, and three leaky, crumbling rooms.

Lin Sang sang didn't mind at all. In fact, she was full of enthusiasm.

His leg was crippled? Perfect, she knew how to treat it.

He was frail and sickly? Perfect, she knew a little medicine.

She also knew how to make money and farm.

The difficulties they faced now were only temporary. The future was full of hope.

With her as a variable, everything moved much faster.

In less than three months, Shen Yan threw away his crutches.

Everything unfolded as the story foretold. Shen Yan's literary talent made him a hot prospect, and the Liu family knelt at the door, begging to get back together. All they got in return was a basin of cold water.

Later, Shen Yan passed all six levels of the imperial examinations and became a Grand Secretary with power over the court.

Liu Yan regretted it bitterly. "If only I'd known... I wouldn't have broken off the engagement."

Lin Sang sang smiled faintly. "Too late. He's my man now."
