Married Three Times, Became a Noblewoman

[The Heir Who Didn't Want a Wife or Children, Only to Guard the Border, Has Fallen for Her]

Jiang Yiwan, daughter of the Marquis of Yongan, had married three times.

The first time, her marriage was arranged by her parents and matchmakers, and her timid husband proved useless, so she divorced him.

The second time, she chose her own husband and married a general. Unfortunately, he set his sights on the wrong thing and betrayed his country.

As for this third time, Jiang Yiwan had no intention of marrying again. But the matchmaker's offer was simply too tempting.

"The Duke of Dingguo's family is wealthy and influential. Being the heir's wife will help your business."

"There is no mother-in-law, no sisters-in-law, no brothers' wives, and no household disputes. Once you marry in, you'll be in charge of the household."

"Most importantly, the heir doesn't come home!"

Pfft!

That last part was all it took.

Jiang Yiwan couldn't resist, and married him.

But if her husband was supposed to be away indefinitely, why had he suddenly come home?

-

Gu Ci Gui, heir to the Duke of Dingguo, returned home wounded for the first time in three years of marriage.

Looking at the orderly ducal residence, he realized that having a wife could make a home this neat.

Later, as he lay recovering in bed and Jiang Yiwan took devoted care of him, he realized that having a wife look after him could help him recover this quickly.

Later still, he pinned her down and growled in the dead of night...

And discovered an entirely new world: having a wife was this wonderful!

"I'm sorry I left you alone on our wedding night. I neglected you."

"So..." He kissed the tear at the corner of her eye. "I'm not leaving. I'll stay and make it up to you."

Jiang Yiwan was covered in sweat, but inwardly she rolled her eyes.

Who needed him to make it up to her?

She had taken care of him down to the smallest detail so he would leave sooner.

She had slept with him because his eight-pack abs had bewitched her for a moment. She must have been out of her mind.

If he stayed, how was she supposed to enjoy life as a carefree duchess?

Gu Ci Gui pressed his forehead to hers and said ruefully, "From now on, let's build a good life together."
