My Wife Is So Frail She Can't Take Care of Herself

[Lazy, handsome rich playboy x Miaojiang Gu woman (crossed out), a scheming master of secret identities who loves pretending to be delicate]

A rumor has been going around Liangcheng lately:

The Zhou family, one of the city's elite clans, is expecting the fiancee of their second young lady, Zhou Yiguan, to arrive from the countryside!

Rumor has it the fiancee was originally betrothed to the Zhou family's new head, their eldest young master, Zhou Qisheng. But Young Master Zhou thought her beneath him, so the marriage was transferred to the idle second young lady, Zhou Yiguan.

Tsk, tsk.

Everyone imagined the country girl would have sallow skin and coarse features, with thick calluses on her hands from working in the fields. Perhaps she would even be illiterate, unable to recognize a single character. They expected her to be an eyesore...

They had already decided how they would mock her.

But on the day Zhou Yiguan appeared with her fiancee, Sang Yuan, the other woman wore a qipao that accentuated her graceful figure. Her skin was fair as snow, her hair as dark as night, and her lips as red as blood. A single glance from her was enough to leave people spellbound.

She was breathtakingly beautiful.

Young Master Zhou was there that day, too. When the beauty took his cousin's arm and walked past him hand in hand, he clutched his chest, consumed by regret.

*

Before long, the love story of Zhou Yiguan and Sang Yuan spread to every corner of the city.

It even included a side story about Young Master Zhou trying to rekindle things, only to be thoroughly humiliated.

Wherever Zhou Yiguan went, she would say, "My wife is so delicate she can't take care of herself. Don't bully her."

"..."

She founded pharmaceutical, beauty, and clothing companies with her own hands... Are you sure she's delicate? Could we even bully her? Isn't she the one bullying us?

She's too much to handle. Let's get out of here.

Meanwhile, Young Master Zhou, whose power Zhou Yiguan had taken with Sang Yuan's help, was utterly ruined. He regretted everything.

*

At first, seeing Zhou Yiguan protect and indulge her fiancee at every turn, and knowing the woman belonged to an ethnic minority, everyone assumed Sang Yuan had put a Gu curse on Zhou Yiguan.

But as Sang Yuan's business empire continued to grow and she remained devoted to Zhou Yiguan...

#So Sang Yuan is the one who got cursed, right?#

#Please, we want to learn how to do that too#

#Could it be that she's just a hopeless romantic?#

*

Zhou Yiguan was cheerful and easygoing, but sometimes, in the dead of night, she'd get caught in a spiral of overthinking and couldn't find her way out. Then President Sang would wrap her arms around her and plant a kiss on her lips.

"Stop thinking so much. You were the one I wanted to marry from the start."
