The Fake Heiress Marries a Sickly Beauty by Mistake in the 1980s

When Xie Qingwu woke up, she had become the wealthy young heiress in an 1980s novel, spoiled, willful, and arrogant.

But before long, her fake heiress identity was exposed, and the Xie family sent her off in the middle of the night to marry a sickly member of the Lu family: Lu Yanli.

She had heard that the sickly one never left the house and wouldn't live much longer.

Thinking she'd be widowed and free to leave before long anyway, Xie Qingwu packed up pots and pans and headed to the Lu home in the faraway Jiangnan water towns.

As soon as she arrived, Xie Qingwu spotted Lu Yanli sitting in a wheelchair across the bridge and was stunned.

Lu Yanli wore a white qipao and held a paper umbrella. Her skin was smooth as jade, and she was so cool and beautiful that Xie Qingwu couldn't take another step.

Within a few days, Xie Qingwu and Lu Yanli had registered their marriage and held a wedding.

On their wedding night, Xie Qingwu, inexperienced in matters of love, sat stiffly on the bed, too shy to move. Lu Yanli pulled her into her arms.

Afterward, Xie Qingwu thought: Wife, you have to live a long, long time. I want to make love to you every day!

Born into the wealthy Lu family, Lu Yanli had been a pawn in the struggle for power since birth.

When she was eight, her wicked stepmother drugged her, leaving her legs disabled, then sent her to the damp, rainy Jiangnan to "recuperate."

She fell into depression and spent every day alone in the courtyard, weeping as she waited for the last spark of her life to fade.

When the Xie family sent a marriage proposal, she frowned at the name on it.

She knew she had little time left and saw no point in marrying someone and dragging them down with her. Just as she was about to refuse, her unseen fiancée arrived in the middle of the night with the proposal, insisting they get married.

That day, spring rain fell softly as Lu Yanli watched Xie Qingwu run toward her over the bridge.

The girl, carrying a clattering pile of belongings, had a youthful face and smiling eyes. She was like the first clear sky after days of rain.

Lu Yanli clenched her fists.

Suddenly, she wanted to live a little longer, and then a little longer still...
