Coming this year
[Underhanded Hound Who Bites Off More Than He Can Chew x Sleazy Woman Who Sleeps Around Without Catching Feelings and Runs Afterward]
Marriage First, Love Later, Five-Year Age Gap / The Wife-Chasing Crematorium
Yan Chun had been surrounded by men ever since she was born. She was the matchmaker known far and wide across Tong County and the surrounding villages.
On her nineteenth birthday, she took out the matchmaker's book kept at the bottom of the family trunk. She planned to find herself a handsome husband at a bargain, and after careful consideration, circled ten candidates she liked.
But on her way to propose with a white goose in hand, she unexpectedly came across a man with half his body buried in the dirt.
The man had an otherworldly air about him, gentle and refined. The face she could see was more handsome than any of the men in her book.
The only pity was that he was blind and had a lame leg.
In his previous life, Jiang Xingzhou was no decent man. Cunning and scheming, he was the Crown Prince's vicious attack dog. When the Crown Prince ascended the throne, Jiang, his former adviser, had his leg broken and eyes blinded before being dumped in a remote backwater, half-buried in the earth and left to wait quietly for death.
When he opened his eyes again in this life, he was back in that same patch of dirt. He gave a self-mocking smile, ready to face death once more.
Then a pair of warm hands lifted the dead leaves covering his eyes.
Under the blazing sun, a young woman spoke in a clear voice, sweet as spring water.
"You're awfully handsome, sir. Want to come home with me?"
The young woman was pure of heart, and he easily sweet-talked her into giving him her heart and body. She willingly helped him heal his leg and restore his sight.
But three years passed. After taking his revenge, he returned with his whole heart in his hands, ready to ask for her hand in marriage. Instead, he saw her blindfolded, playing a game of "heaven-made match" to find herself a husband.
By the flickering candlelight, she held another man's hand, her eyes full of affection.
The tenderness in her voice was exactly the same as when she'd made him her promise.
So he was the one who'd been sweet-talked, and the one she'd taken to bed and deceived.
1. The heroine is nineteen, and the hero is twenty-four.
2. The heroine comes from a family of matchmakers and grew up among all kinds of people. She's clever and bold, and knows how cruel people can be. Don't worry about an older man sweet-talking her. She only wants to enjoy herself, not take responsibility.
Theme: Turn around the matchmakers' terrible reputation once and for all.
