Xie Xiaohouye was a handsome young prodigy, but he had an ugly mother. After the Marquis of Lin'an passed away, she tirelessly cared for him.
But everyone knew this woman wasn't Xie Xiaohouye's birth mother. Her ugliness embarrassed him, and he hated her with all his heart.
Xie Mingchen ordered her around, mocked her, bullied her, and tried to make her leave of her own accord. But Lin Suwan refused to give up her position as the Marquis of Lin'an's wife, and insisted on acting like his mother every day.
Xie Mingchen was furious and came up with a vicious plan to frame her for adultery. But when the young marquis saw the ugly woman blush shyly in front of a guard, something inside him exploded.
Why couldn't this ugly woman ever show him a kind face? Was he not as handsome as that guard, or not as good at flirting?
Lin Suwan merely smiled to herself. "Young marquis, I promised the late marquis I would raise you, but who I like is none of your business."
Tips: 1. The female lead will become prettier, but only to an ordinary, fresh-faced degree. She's definitely not a great beauty. 2. They are not related by blood in any way. There are no feelings or intimacy described when the male lead is a child. Their relationship develops slowly and naturally. 3. The female lead feels attracted to other men, but it goes no further than that. 4. Taming a wolf pup. Happy ending. Length depends on the response.
