After Being Forced into Marriage

Her family fell into ruin overnight.

Her childhood sweetheart and fiance hurriedly broke off his engagement to Shen Zhenzhen to save his own skin.

Someone pointed her toward a way out: if she married the Marquis of Dingbei, perhaps she could save her father and brother.

Lu Chinan, the Marquis of Dingbei, was her former fiance's cousin.

But this once-renowned and dignified marquis, celebrated for his military achievements, had now become a violent-tempered cripple who could barely walk.

The cripple had a fierce temper and a sharp tongue.

At first, Shen Zhenzhen didn't like her husband at all.

Until one day, in a treasured box of Lu Chinan's, she found a handkerchief she'd lost many years earlier, along with a gold hairpin he'd never given her. Only then did she realize that her husband had fallen for her long ago.

A little scene:

When everyone first heard Shen Zhenzhen was going to marry the Marquis of Dingbei, they thought she was as good as dead.

But in the depths of winter that year, snow blanketed the capital.

Many people saw the marquis, who feared neither heaven nor emperor, carefully holding Shen Zhenzhen by the sleeve and apologizing in a meek voice: "I know I was wrong, Sister. Don't ignore me."

Those who had once abandoned her and looked down on her now had to kneel before her, trembling and afraid to raise their heads.

Theme: Even in the depths of hardship, never give up on yourself.
