Wrong Marriage

Flirty sweetheart x fake cold beauty, secretly pure-hearted

A sweet, post-marriage romance

[Blurb]

It is not until the wedding ceremony is almost over that Su Zhetan finally realizes she has married the Heir of Prince Yan.

Everyone says she must have used some trick. How else could a woman from an ordinary family marry into the prestigious Ling family, currently the talk of Luoyang?

Only Su Zhetan herself knows the truth, and she has no way to explain:

She followed her mother to her uncle's home in Luoyang, where she developed feelings for her gentle, refined cousin.

But though he accepted her kindness, he never returned her feelings. When she caught him flirting with other women, she realized she had only been a passing amusement to him.

Heartbroken, she drank to forget.

The sky darkened, and the liquor went to her head.

Sploosh, she fell into the water.

Su Zhetan passed out before she could even make out the face of the man who rescued her.

Before she could gather her wits, a matchmaker from Prince Yan's household arrived at her door, claiming the debt of gratitude for saving her that night.

On their wedding night, the heir lays down three rules:

This is only a marriage of convenience to appease their families. At most two years from now, they will divorce.

·

Everyone says the Heir of Prince Yan is cold and aloof. No one has ever heard rumors of him with any young lady.

Some even say he refuses to marry because his fate is cursed.

Ling Duo never imagined that a woman he casually rescued from drowning would one day become his wife.

He thought he would never fall in love, but life is full of surprises.

After they marry, he finds his gaze constantly following Su Zhetan without him even realizing it.

Watching his wife's smiling face, Ling Duo shamefully falls for her.

With their promise to divorce in two years looming, Ling Duo tosses and turns at night.

Meanwhile, his little wife crosses off another day on the calendar, murmuring, "It's only half a year. No big deal."

Ling Duo has to admit that in this relationship, he is the one who has lost completely.

Bao Shu is grateful to him for his kindness. Xie Zheng dislikes how popular she is and forbids her from smiling at others, so she speaks less and keeps her distance from outsiders.

Later, when Bao Shu comes of age to be betrothed, she finds someone she likes. He knows how to cheer her up and brings her fashionable little gifts. Bao Shu thinks he is a good person, so she accepts his proposal.

She thinks she can live a quiet, ordinary life, but Xie Zheng ruins her marriage and forces her to become his concubine.

Bao Shu, who has always meekly accepted her lot, resists him for the first time.
