Cui Yingshu was born noble, the last bloodline of the General of Wu'an.
But the man who married into her family for power nursed a grudge. He not only caused his wife's death, but also sent his legitimate daughter, Cui Yingshu, to the ancestral home to fend for herself.
After eighteen years of growing up wild, Cui Yingshu was as beautiful as Daiyu and strong enough to lift a cauldron. She was a notorious villainess in Jiangzhou.
Her ill repute spread far and wide, and no one dared to propose to Cui Yingshu.
Cui Yingshu: ...
What are they blathering about? It's not as if she wants to marry them!
Rather than a troublesome man who's accomplished in both literature and martial arts, she prefers a handsome young gentleman with a slender, toned build, fair skin, and a talent for crying, someone who looks as if he needs protecting.
There wasn't a single young gentleman in Jiangzhou who fit her ideal.
As it happened
Her scumbag father, who had abandoned her for eighteen years and left her to fend for herself, summoned her to the capital.
At the Cui family's birthday banquet,
Cui Yingshu kicked her stepmother and whipped her little brother, every inch the villainess.
Meanwhile, Shen Yu had failed yet another matchmaking meeting.
The young ladies thought he was too handsome and cried too much, and that everyone in the Marquis's household was useless.
Shen Yu's peach-blossom eyes were red from crying. He feared the clan would bully his mother again and put women in his father's bed. He feared being drugged again and bringing disgrace upon the Marquis's household. But when he saw Cui Yingshu, clad in red with a cold expression and a ruthless air, his cheeks flushed and his heart pounded like a drum.
S-so handsome!
He fell in love with Cui Yingshu at first sight.
When she heard someone wanted to propose to her, Cui Yingshu boldly went to meet her suitor.
The young man was fair and beautiful, tall and slender, with long, flirtatious peach-blossom eyes shimmering with tears. He was exactly her favorite type, and if he was also innocent and prone to crying, he'd be absolutely perfect.
Cui Yingshu raised an eyebrow. "You want to marry me?"
The very next moment,
the young man's eyes reddened, and he hooked a finger around Cui Yingshu's hand, looking ready to cry.
"!"
Cui Yingshu's heart skipped a beat.
So beautiful. He was born to be her husband!
