His Beloved Heiress Has Returned from Studying Abroad

A match made by one's parents and arranged by a matchmaker.

The marriage between the Jiang and He families was an engagement made when the two were children.

Rumors say the Jiang family fell on hard times, and that the He family took in the Jiang family's youngest son without a second thought, only for him to inexplicably end up as their servant.

The once-famous Jiang family had an elder son who ran up a mountain of gambling debts, and in the end the younger son had to marry into the He family and become their bootlicker.

People even say that the He family's eldest daughter was already cheating on Jiang Yinchen while studying abroad.

They exchanged letters for years. She always knew what kind of man he was, and they confided in each other, while she also came to recognize his business talent.

He chose to endure the humiliation and disregard the rumors for no reason other than his love for her.

The first thing He Yushu did after returning from abroad was shatter the rumors... by marrying him.

She knew the man she loved was neither a fierce-looking guard dog nor a puppy who couldn't shelter her from the storm.

He was the wolf she loved.

Dogs may descend from wolves, but no one could tame him. He knelt before her of his own free will, with reverence, protecting her and the He family.

A wolf is loyal to only one mate, and she is his one and only.

If anything threatens her or the He family, he'll slay any god or Buddha in his way.

The world looks down on Jiang Yinchen, who can't offer a decent betrothal gift,

but He Yushu knows he made her wedding shoes himself, and she weeps with joy.

They aren't the most luxurious, but they make her feel that marrying him is a choice she'll never regret.

In an age of war, family feuds are trivial compared to the fate of the nation. This is a story of the hero and heroine improving the lives of exploited laborers, tearing down the merchants' guild's underground prison, establishing a system of promotions and benefits, investing their family fortune in railways, and contributing by founding a privately operated railway company.

Content warnings:

1. Older sister and younger brother dynamic, with an age gap of three years.

2. Both leads are virgins, and their relationship is rock-solid. Their romance has no angst, but how could their circumstances not be painful... (runs away, carrying a pot as a shield~)

3. Fictional history, set in a Republican-era-inspired world.

4. The hero is crazy, jealous, and loves to flirt with the heroine. I'll do my best to include sweet moments in every chapter. They dote on each other.

5. Some fight scenes are graphic and violent.

The Jiang family's handsome, roguish youngest son, a wolfish young man from a fallen family, age 18, vs. the He family's only daughter, a wealthy heiress, age 21.
