Coming soon: Marry Me Off to a Possessive Man; A Young Lady's Fight to Become Empress Dowager

Prince Su Rong's consort wanted to choose brides for her grandson, so she brought several young noblewomen from different places to live at the estate.

Xiao Xiuyan, the young master of the prince's household, knew from the start that Jiang Jiu had approached him for a reason. Her tricks were clumsy, but he was willing to play along.

At first, she was like a timid rabbit new to the world. "I am Jiang, and I have a favor to ask of you, Young Master."

Later, Jiang Jiu was to return to Jiangzhou to marry.

Xiao Xiuyan kept his composure in public, but behind the scenes he couldn't sit still. He detained her on a private boat by the riverbank and said stiffly, "You can stay. I'll marry you."

"I can't, Young Master." She refused. "My parents decide, and the matchmaker arranges it. I have to marry, whether I want to or not. Besides, the man waiting for me in Jiangzhou is handsome and mild-mannered. He's in a different league from you. I don't want you."

Blurb for Marry Me Off to a Possessive Man

Yin Yueniang let out a deep sigh, the thought of marrying again weighing on her heart.

She was born to a farming family in a remote border town. To avoid being forced to take the place of her family's young mistress as the second wife of an elderly prince, Yin Yueniang took advantage of an injured soldier and used every means at her disposal to make him marry her.

She thought he would die, leaving her a widow who could live out the rest of her life on his compensation money.

She was secretly delighted, but to her surprise, he survived, distinguished himself in battle, and rose to become a third-rank general.

Now successful and accomplished, he was expected to cast aside his wife and marry a virtuous woman. Instead, he followed all the formal rites, brought twelve hundred chests of betrothal gifts, bought her a mansion at great expense, and gave her more than a hundred servants. He dressed her in a gold-and-jade crown and a bright red wedding gown.

Yin Yueniang was frightened. "Young General, there's really no need. I'm humble and insignificant. You can simply forget our betrothal and marry a virtuous, beautiful woman. No one would dare say a word."

Everyone said Yin Yueniang was foolish. With a husband like that, what more could a woman want?

Yin Yueniang shifted aside. Then you marry him. Try marrying a madman!

Yin Yueniang feared his eyes, red as blood from all the killing. She feared how easily he could snap a fawn's neck with one hand. She feared the countless times he had hunted her down when she ran away. She feared the golden cage he built to satisfy his own selfish desires.
