Marriage by Exchange

Lin Yao had a secret after marrying into the Xu family in Xu Village.

She dreamed that her husband left on a trading trip and never came back. To avoid wasting the bride price, her mother-in-law married her off to her eldest brother-in-law, who had just retired from the army.

The eldest brother-in-law was towering and muscular, with a scar running across his left cheek. He looked like someone you wouldn't want to mess with.

Lin Yao recalled the dream, the man's many ways of tormenting her, and those flushed, intimate dreams beneath the bridal curtains. Her legs went weak and her waist ached, and she fled back to her parents' home in a panic.

But that night, the imposing man cornered her against a wall and scoffed, "Why run? It's not like I'm going to eat you."

Xu Chong never thought of himself as a man of high morals. After ten years in the army, he had done every kind of disreputable thing.

He had thought that after helping the new ruler ascend the throne, he could retire to a quiet life in the countryside. But when he saw his younger brother's delicate, enchanting wife, as tender as a little white flower, he began to harbor other thoughts.

He had thought that after his younger brother disappeared, she would inevitably belong to him. But after one night together, she actually ran away?

Did she really think she could get away!
