The Fierce Heiress

Before the Duchess died, she asked the Empress Dowager for an edict arranging a marriage for her heir. Xie Yining was born in the bitterly cold lands beyond the northern frontier. At eighteen, she brought her personal troops to fulfill the marriage agreement, and from then on had a husband: a notorious playboy heir from the capital. The northern frontier was harsh, with barren land where not even grass could grow. Strict with herself, she had trained in military drills and martial arts since childhood. Her good-for-nothing husband, meanwhile, was skilled at drinking, gambling, and every other vice, and spent his days leading his men around looking for trouble. Xie Yining couldn't stand the sight of him. She didn't know embroidery, wasn't gentle and sweet, and couldn't be considerate or magnanimous. Can't stand the sight of him? Then beat him into submission! With a shrew for a wife, the playboy heir burst into tears in the street. P.S. The male lead isn't dazzling or powerful.
