[A gentle, frail beauty who's secretly black-hearted x an overconfident little ray of sunshine]
Princess Tang Wan of Wuchang has a father who commands the armies of the southern frontier, and an elder brother renowned throughout the realm as a great scholar. Her entire clan is powerful and influential, and they enjoy boundless favor and glory.
She has become the most carefree and enviable young woman in the capital.
One day, as she rode her horse down the main street, a breeze lifted the silk curtain of a carriage. Behind it, she saw the most breathtakingly beautiful face she had ever laid eyes on.
For the first time in eighteen years,
Tang Wan's heart raced. She promptly decided: she would make the owner of that face her husband!

The beauty Tang Wan has set her heart on is a sickly man who takes medicine every day. He is so frail and pale that he looks as if the next gust of wind might blow him over.
But that's all right.
She'll protect him.
After their marriage, the couple's life together is sweet as honey.
Aside from his frail health, her husband is wonderful in every way: his looks, his disposition, and his talent are all top-notch.
He speaks to her gently, smiles at her with warm, crinkling eyes, and takes meticulous care of her daily needs.
Tang Wan falls in too deep to get out.
Until one day, she discovers that her beautiful, sickly husband is the last surviving member of the former dynasty.
Their first meeting was a carefully plotted scheme, and he married her only to use her status to restore his dynasty...

Blurb:
When Zhan Mingzhu was three, her mother died. For more than a decade, she lived in constant fear under the thumb of her stepmother and a whole pack of concubines. Her greatest wish in life was to escape the Zhan family and make her own way.
At last, in the year she came of age, her family arranged a marriage for her. Her future husband was a handsome scholar famous across the surrounding villages. He came from a poor farming family, so marrying him would be marrying down.
Zhan Mingzhu packed her belongings without a second thought and climbed into the bridal sedan.
The year Chen Qiushan turned seventeen, he was forced to marry a woman he had never met.
He had heard his bride was the daughter of a wealthy merchant from the county seat, raised in luxury and treated like a precious jewel. Chen Qiushan took stock of his own assets: a few acres of land, several rooms, a job as a bookkeeper, and the title of licentiate. He was honest and upright from head to toe, but didn't have a single silver ingot to his name.
The Zhan family's daughter was sure to suffer if she married him.
So after the wedding, he treated her with respect and never overstepped, waiting for the day she could no longer bear the hardship and asked him for a divorce.
But he never imagined that in the first month of their marriage, his faded robe would be replaced with new clothes; in the second month, his wife would open a little restaurant in town; in the sixth month, they would move into a larger house; and after a year, his landholdings would have doubled...
After more months than he could count, he secretly tore up the divorce papers he had prepared and hidden in his sleeve.
From then on, they shared their wealth and weathered hardship together.
Theme: Love means meeting sincerity with sincerity.
Didn't I say before that it would be updated in a day or two? It's almost two weeks.
He Xiang: You are such a damn love brain!
It has been so long that I have forgotten the previous plot...
I can't remember where this Taoist priest appeared before.
Ah, although I really want to see the male protagonist be jealous, I still don't want to be too cruel, because as the female protagonist said before, even though there was cheating, it never harmed her and her family, and now she is still a little bit in love (bushi)
The male protagonist is awesome! Awesome
What happened and ended in such a cliffhanger...
Damn, are you still updating? (Crying) (Cat Maotou crying)
