A beauty in poor health who has no interest in love and only wants to make money VS an aloof gentleman who keeps falling for her in his own imagination
The heroine's story:
A cousin from the south arrived at the Duke of Anguo's residence. The young lady was gentle, well-mannered, delicate, and obedient, the very picture of a proper young noblewoman. The only drawback was her status: she was a merchant's daughter.
The Old Madam pitied her frail constitution and had long planned to find her an ordinary family of comparable standing. She wouldn't have to worry about bearing children, and her birth family could protect her. The Old Madam also warned her not to set her sights on the young masters of the household.
Yan Yuan lowered her eyes obediently and softly replied, "Yuan'er understands."
She kept her distance from all her cousins and never went to visit unless she had a good reason. She only needed to meet a suitable man and marry him, so she could expand the Yan family's traditional fabric-dyeing business to Suidu.
There was just one problem. Whenever she secretly slipped out of the residence, she kept running into her cousin Su Heng, the heir, a man of dazzling grace and unmatched beauty. To avoid trouble, Yan Yuan did her best to steer clear of him. They were barely more than acquaintances who nodded to each other, but he accidentally discovered who she really was...
She usually dressed in elegant, understated clothes, yet she loved vivid, audacious colors.
She acted delicate and obedient, yet dared to pick up a bloodstained sword.
She wasn't virtuous and demure at all. She loved having fun and always found some way to sneak out and play.
He was the only one who knew.
The hero's story:
At first, Su Heng only wanted to defend the border. He feared neither death nor the gods.
But later, someone took up residence in his heart. Before setting out on a long journey, he didn't pray for himself. He bowed his head devoutly before the gods, praying only that she might enjoy spring's blessings and summer's peace, autumn's tranquility and winter's joy.
He hoped that everything she wished for would come true.
"Why do you love her?"
"To me, she's the most vivid splash of color in this otherwise ordinary world."

Since you can't marry her, then take her back. Also known as "The prince who I threw away after using him came to my door" "How can a scumbag young master become the prince of a neighboring country?" 1V1, SC, HE (a super sweet article about a double-displaced horse who forcibly seizes the crematorium of his wife...!) The specific demining can be found in the column, right~
She has been a beloved concubine for so many years, but she has not brought any help to her parents' family. She has not even met her only brother's daughter. It is really cold.
It can't be the child of her aunt and that general, right?
This mother-in-law is really speechless. The heroine is lucky not to be raised by her.
Mr. Pei is back! ""Catch a big bug for the author~ Although he, the words "if there is an afterlife" still make people very regretful 😭
What I've been watching recently is the male protagonist who robbed the crematorium by force. I wanted to stab him 18 times. This male protagonist is really refreshing
555555Sure enough, this kind of emperor only exists in novels
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this female supporting role is so stupid
When will the next chapter be updated?
The ending of the parents line is perfect
