The Legitimate Daughter, Chu Qing

As the legitimate granddaughter of the Duke of Weiguo, Chu Qing has no worries about finding a husband. At home, she has cousins who grew up with her; outside, there are talented young men of great promise. Yet as the years passed, even the spoiled and overbearing Chu Wan was carried off in a bridal sedan, while Chu Qing remained unmarried, with no one seeking her hand. Chu Qing couldn't figure it out. She made inquiries in secret, and was so furious she nearly burst a vessel... Coming soon: The Heir Dotes on His Wife Without Restraint The day the Duke of Zhenguo passed away, his heir, Chu Xin, took on over a hundred members of the Zhao family with a single sword. He slowly walked out of the Zhao residence, leaving a bloody footprint with every step. The setting sun fell on his chipped sword, its edge cold and sinister. Yang Yan happened to be passing by. She peeked through the carriage curtain and met Chu Xin's eyes. Those dark eyes held nothing but murderous intent and a hollow, lifeless stare. The next day, she heard that Chu Xin had been sentenced to death by a thousand cuts, and would be flayed alive over three days. The Chu and Yang families had never had anything to do with each other. Yang Yan had only heard the story as gossip. Who could have guessed that after living another life, the Old Madam of the Chu family, a woman from a family with no connection to hers whatsoever, would suddenly name Chu Xin as the man she wanted to marry her? Yang Yan was so frightened her eyes went wide. ...Can I refuse? Chu Xin's dark eyes were icy. "What do you think?" He cast aside all his arrogance, wanting only to shelter her beneath a sky free of wind and rain!
