[A fallen noble heir insists on marrying into her family × disabled head of an escort agency] [BG, devoted to each other]
They say the heir of Prince Zhi’s house married into her family for love, and the head of the escort agency won herself a beauty. Ask him how much sincerity a scoundrel can have, and he’ll say: Marrying into her family from afar was a huge gamble, but she would never let me lose!
Her younger sister brought home a badly injured husband who was to marry into the family. As soon as he woke up, he grabbed her by the throat. “Who… are you?”
“I am the head of the Haiyan Escort Agency. My compound surname is Yushi, and my given name is Yan.” A peregrine falcon perched on her shoulder.
Her parents had died ten years ago, and three years ago she had become disabled in both legs while protecting this city. Even so, she kept a firm hold on the escort agency through her own reputation and ingenuity.
He had come because of the salt and iron case from ten years earlier. After being badly injured and ending up here, he discovered that the case was connected to her escort agency.
When a wealthy family abducted a young woman? She went to court in her wheelchair on behalf of the butcher and his wife!
When famine struck and there was no grain to distribute? She spread word that grain prices were high in the area, drawing merchants from all over.
When he tried to get closer, she hesitated, then said, “My legs really are disabled. I’m not pretending.”
“I know.” He moved closer.
When his identity was finally exposed, he wanted to take her away.
“The money I gave you for lodging wasn’t meant to cut ties with you. My name is Junzhuo. I didn’t lie to you. It’s my courtesy name.”
“Thank you for your generosity, sir. But Yan cannot bow because my legs are inconvenient. I hope you’ll forgive me.”
Unwilling to give up, he sent a hidden guard to protect her. The guard was discovered in less than two hours and put to work as a laborer at the escort agency.
She accepted a wheelchair, met with an imperial physician, and exchanged letters by peregrine falcon for half a year. In the end, she decided to open an escort agency in the capital, making good money while getting closer to him.
When things finally fell into place, he wanted to ask for her hand.
She said, “Why would I give up being head of my own escort agency to wash my hands of it and become a concubine in your household?” So he resolved to marry into her family.
Content warning: The heroine is genuinely disabled, with no cure, and has no hidden identity. The male lead truly marries into her family in the end.
Theme: A broken wing is not the end. Only by accepting it can you go farther.
