After Being Forced to Marry the Cool and Aloof Heiress

1 Lin Bu, the youngest daughter of the nouveau riche Lin family, has had everyone dancing to her tune since she was little. Even if she wanted the moon, her family would find a way to pluck it from the sky for her. No wonder she grew up spoiled, willful, and good for nothing. At least she has one talent: drumming. Her technique is astonishing, and she can play incredibly fast. She was bobbing her head and drumming away at a speed of 180 beats per minute in the practice room when her mother burst in, crying so hard her face crumpled. “Bu Bu, our family’s bankrupt! Waaaaah…” Lin Bu hugged her mother. “Mom, stop joking around.” Her mother sobbed between hiccups. “It’s true! But we’ve found you a match. The eldest daughter of the Zhu family. Why don’t you marry her? You can save our family from ruin.” Lin Bu pushed her mother away and cried, “You mean Zhu Qingfeng, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, who wears a scowl 365 days a year, like someone owes her billions?!” “I won’t marry her! I won’t! She’ll freeze me to death!” 2 But… On their wedding night, the cool and aloof Zhu Qingfeng’s cheeks were faintly flushed, her forehead glistening with sweat as she clung to Lin Bu’s shoulders and whispered in complaint, “Bu Bu… your stamina isn’t enough.” When Lin Bu returned to her family home, her mother pulled her aside to console her. “Bu Bu, hang in there. You can divorce in three years. She won’t freeze you.” Lin Bu looked at Zhu Qingfeng, sitting primly in the courtyard playing chess. Her ears suddenly burned. “She’s the one who doesn’t want a divorce! Zhu Qingfeng… she’s gotten me all hot and bothered.” In short: A spoiled, willful rich girl is tamed into a well-behaved puppy by a cool, aloof heiress. Their sweet, chaotic life together is full of love and laughter. ** Reading Guide One-on-one romance Happy ending Both leads are each other’s first and only Same-sex marriage is legal Coming next: a new pre-release title 《Reborn as the Scumbag Alpha to My Obsessive Sister-in-Law》 1 Qiao Youran is reborn as a shameless scumbag Alpha in an ancient setting.
