[Story Description]
Su Minglan, a fighting champion, transmigrates into a period novel as a tragic cannon-fodder character. Her awful parents sell her for a sky-high bride price to an abusive man who murdered his previous wife. From the start, she is driven to despair and tries to kill herself.
She can play the innocent white lotus, act like a scheming green tea, crush local thugs, and make money. Why should she put up with this cannon-fodder fate?
The abusive man and her awful parents conspire to force her to accept her fate by having him take her before they're married?
Su Minglan kicks the abusive man right in the family jewels!
His screams ring through the whole village. Clutching his mangled bits, he is convicted of hooliganism.
The villagers look at Su Minglan's radiant, delicate face. "Minglan may be so weak and delicate, but she's so brave. Good for her!"
Her awful parents, who witnessed the whole thing, tremble in fear. "Minglan's gone mad!"

In the thriving 1980s, Su Minglan discovers business opportunities everywhere in town.
To escape her awful parents for good, Su Minglan enters a marriage of convenience with Xiao Beian, a powerful man who keeps his homosexuality hidden, and sets off on the road to prosperity.
Making a fortune is just what she expected. But married life isn't the mutually beneficial arrangement she imagined...
Didn't the book say Xiao Beian was gay?
But the way he looks at her is...
Sometimes dark and inscrutable!
Sometimes burning with passion and affection!
And, little by little, she becomes the center of his world!
Unable to resist a handsome man devoted to her, Su Minglan has to call a halt. "Hey... Big Brother, can we switch to a different act and keep playing?"
Xiao Beian looks puzzled. "Can't I just be myself?"
Sure! Isn't one of the telltale signs of a gay man that he can't get close to women?
Su Minglan, ever the quick thinker, immediately turns into a sex-ed teacher and gives him a long-winded lecture about how "homosexuality is a normal sexual orientation, and accepting it is the key to a happy life."
Xiao Beian nearly spits blood listening to her. After that, whenever he gets the chance, he proves with his body that the whole thing is nothing but a rumor.
Later, Su Minglan rubs her battered body. "...This bug is way too big!"
*
Xiao Beian's marriage plans hit one snag after another, but fortunately, he eventually wins the beauty's heart.
But who told her he loved someone else?
He really has loved one person all along.
It doesn't matter if she hasn't noticed. He must have been too subtle about his love before.
He'll tell her that the only person he's ever loved, from beginning to end, is her!
P.S.
1. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins.
2. The novel's values do not represent the author's own.
3. My completed novel, Transmigrating into a Life of Cantonese Embroidery, is about Cantonese embroidery, an intangible cultural heritage that deserves everyone's attention.
Theme: I decide what happens in my life
Don't worry, even if there is an arranged marriage, the police won't care. It's just a family matter.
I'm sure the heroine won't want to watch it if she wants her brother back. Speechless
