Blurb:
After her elder sister runs away from her wedding, Shen Yuan, who has been raised on a country estate, is forced by the Shen family to travel to the capital and marry Yan Wang's heir, Xiao Shiyan, in her sister's place.
The Shen family hopes to find the elder sister and set things right, restoring the proper order of things. Shen Yuan is forced to conceal her true self and pretend to be her sister, learning her every word and action until the day they can switch back.
But no one knows where her sister went, and no trace of her can be found.
Shen Yuan spends three years in Yan Wang's household, constantly on edge and walking on thin ice.
In the third year of her proxy marriage, her sister finally returns.
For years, she has been constrained by the Shen family and forced to scheme carefully, maneuvering between a strict mother-in-law and a cold husband. Under her sister's name, she becomes the considerate and clever heir's wife in the eyes of outsiders.
But her sister's return upends everything and changes the situation.
When her father summons her and demands that she switch places with her sister, Shen Yuan smiles faintly, no longer the meek, obedient girl she once was.
"Is this how Lord Shen asks for a favor?"
When Yan Wang was young, the Shen family saved his life, so the two families arranged an engagement between their children. The match fell to his heir, Xiao Shiyan, who obeyed Yan Wang and married a Shen daughter as his wife.
After the wedding, his wife was gentle and obedient, caring for him in every way. He gave her all the respect she was due.
Together, they quietly played the part of a respectful married couple.
Then one day, he saw his own wife tugging at the new top scholar's sleeve and acting coy. "Cousin, could you wait for me a little longer?"
At that, Xiao Shiyan narrowed his eyes.
He suddenly realized that his wife had never been so affectionate with him.
After leaving Yan Wang's household, Shen Yuan agrees to marry her cousin.
On her wedding night, Shen Yuan sits on the edge of the bed in her phoenix crown and red wedding robes. Amid the commotion, the door opens.
Familiar footsteps draw closer, one step at a time.
Her red veil is suddenly lifted. In the flickering candlelight, she sees the face of the man who has spent three years loathing her.
Beyond the open door, her cousin is being forced to kneel in the corridor.
Furious that her wedding night has been ruined, Shen Yuan slaps Xiao Shiyan across the face. "You're crazy!"
Xiao Shiyan smiles, pressing her palm against his reddened cheek. His gaze is dark and distant. "Shen Yuan, you can only marry me."

Xiao Shiyan: When Ah Yuan slapped me, the first thing that reached me was her fragrance.

The heroine's life was really ruined by her sister. If she had not run away from marriage and the heroine's biological mother was with her, she might have married her cousin long ago. Her cousin won the election, which is also the life of the heroine of the happy farming novel. Even if she is not with her cousin, she still has a comfortable life in the country. Well, her biological mother is dead. , I was poisoned by a strange poison, and I was threatened every day. I waited on the hero and his mother every day, endured the grandmother and maids, and was threatened by my father and stepmother. I went back to my parents' house several times before I and Yue Du, and I guess I was beaten and punished from time to time. Knowing that my mother was dead, it was not normal not to commit suicide.
So slow The heroine is actually not worried about her aunt at all, is she? The Shen family has always refused to let her see her, and they have been trying to fool her. Doesn't she understand that there is a problem? Why don't you think of a solution quickly? It was obvious that the Shen family could not be trusted, why didn't she quickly try to find a solution to the male protagonist? With this going on day after day, the day lily has already become cold.
Updates are too slow. I almost forgot what I said before
It's such a delay. Isn't it that difficult for the heroine to make sure her mother is still alive? Also, the golden finger rights of the heroine's parents are written too much, and even the prince of the champion princess cannot find out about her family affairs. Also, the relationship between the doctor who used poison and the heroine's life is written too much, but the heroine's poison is not found out by the imperial doctor of the palace.
If she finds out that her mother is dead, can she risk it without being controlled?
It feels like the conversation between the heroine and her father can be simplified, and the fact that she still doesn't know what happened to her mother is like talking in vain. I don't know when she will come back next time. I feel like she gave up and went back halfway to confirm her mother's life and death without any results???
Male protagonist, don't just guess, go check it out and go back five or six years.
It's time for an update!!!!!!!
It's over, the heroine guessed that the one who was burned to death was her own mother
When will it be updated? Please ask the author for more stable updates
