The Rough-Hewn Man and the Delicate Flower

First Marriage, Then Love

A proud noblewoman who tells lie after lie x a cold, stern Duke Who Guards the Nation, powerful and high-ranking yet willing to be deceived

"She must love me so much to lie to me, right?"

Jiang Xinyue was the daughter of a fifth-rank court official. Thanks to her mother, who came from a prestigious family, she had enjoyed a refined life since childhood and never suffered a day of hardship.

Then one day, she fell into ruin and was bought for two taels of silver.

The man was strikingly handsome and tall, with a towering presence like an impossible mountain.

But no matter how handsome he was, that didn't change the fact that he was a "hunter."

And most intolerable of all, their bodies were so different in size that even a man who was usually stern and proper could become wild and unrestrained, moving with no regard for her and having no idea what "gentle" meant.

So when her family came looking for her, she immediately packed up and left.

Then, a month later, she realized her flat stomach was gradually rounding.

Jiang Xinyue: "...?!"

Pei Yannian became famous after a single battle and was granted noble rank and a military title. Injured, he was temporarily recovering in a small village when, by a twist of fate, he married a young wife.

His young wife was delicate and soft, with fair, dewy skin. At night, she would call him "husband, husband" through her tears, acting as if he were the only man for her.

Even refined steel could be softened.

Just as he began to care for her and prepared to take her back to the capital so they could build a life together, his young wife ran away.

Three months later, at a spring banquet in the pear garden, he saw his good-for-nothing nephew holding his young wife's hand and making a passionate confession.

His young wife blushed.

His expression darkened instantly. He grabbed his pale-faced young wife's hand and sneered, "Chu Qiaoqiao, you really are something."

He thought to himself that he would never forgive her unless she admitted her mistake and called him husband a hundred times.

Instead, his young wife didn't apologize. She threw up all over him.

It took Pei Yannian a long time to learn that Chu Qiaoqiao's name was false, and so was her love.

But it didn't matter. He could make the latter come true.
