A Husband Sent from Heaven, the Purple Star Lord

[So Good Once You Give It a Try] [Marriage First, Love Later]

On the day the Cui Clan of Qinghe came to propose, Fu Qingyi was being laughed at by the neighbors.

An orphan girl living under someone else's roof, she'd just been rejected by her prospective in-laws.

Then Cui Yu, her heaven-sent husband, arrived. He held the post of Ziwei Lang,

was famous from a young age, a favorite of the emperor, and had a bright future ahead.

Their elders worried that such a vast difference between them would land her in a pit of fire.

Whatever she chose, people would laugh. No need to ask what the future held. Marry him!

Everyone knew that Cui Yu had long admired Miss Fu and was taking her as his principal wife.

But no one knew that on their wedding night, he looked at her like a strange object in the room.

Cui Yu said, "It makes no difference to me whom I marry."

Fu Qingyi smiled. "It makes no difference to me whom I marry, either."

What Cui Yu wanted in a wife: sweet, obedient, and easy to control.

Later, he discovered that, well... clear-headed, outspoken, and a little prickly was pretty nice, too.

Later still, he carefully tugged at her sleeve and asked,

"Will you leave me behind?"
