The Concubine-Born Daughter Says She’ll Keep to Her Place

Shen Yan Qing had been raised from childhood as a bargaining chip to be married off. She rode in a sedan chair, kept her face concealed, and always behaved properly and obediently, never doing anything out of line.

Apart from being a concubine's daughter, she was good in every way.

Then one day, while boating on the lake, she was tricked by a branch of the family and fell into the water. The one who saved her was Xie Xing Jiang, the most notorious playboy in the capital.

A man and a woman coming into contact in the water was bound to have consequences, no matter what had led to it.

Everyone said Shen Yan Qing had hit the jackpot. After all, the gap between the Minister of Rites' household and the Marquis's household was enormous... But plenty of people also laughed that she was doomed to bad luck.

After all, Xie Xing Jiang spent every day drunk in the red-light district and squandered money like water.

Shen Yan Qing knew she'd gotten herself into a mess. The Marquis's household was certainly a fine place to marry into, but... it wasn't someone she could entrust her life to.

The bravest thing Shen Yan Qing ever did was to keep the young marquis in the bridal chamber when he tried to leave on their wedding night on a whim.

"Y-you can't leave! No matter what, you have to spend our wedding night in this room!"

She tugged at his sleeve with trembling hands, desperately holding back her tears.

"...Hmph."

Other people said Shen Yan Qing was no more than a pretty, refined young woman, but Xie Xing Jiang thought no one could be more lovable and deserving of his affection.
