What do you do when your biased biological father tries to trade you for bride price money?
Su Taojiao wiped away her tears, then turned around and “sold” herself to Zhao Zheng, the village’s fiercest demobilized soldier.
On the surface, she was the beautiful village belle with the worst reputation in Liushu Village, spoiled and lazy.
In reality, she was a sharper dealmaker than anyone.
When faced with a parasitic in-law family and an exploitative family of her own, Su Taojiao played the pitiful weakling while striking with ruthless force.
With her exceptional knack for accounts and keen business instincts, she seized control of the grain, started trading, and opened a workshop, turning a terrible hand into a winning one.
She had thought it was merely a contract marriage: “no touching, and divorce when the term is up.”
But who could have guessed that the taciturn, cold-faced, rugged man who stood like a wall would not only shield her from gossip and beat up the shameless, but also put his life and all his money in her hands?
When their one-year agreement was up, Su Taojiao had just packed her bundle and begun testing the waters when the man pinned her against the back of the door. His voice was hoarse and fierce: “The money is yours, my life is yours. Wife, where do you think you’re going?”
