The Overseas-Educated Young Master's Old-Fashioned Fiancée

Ruan Yuxiu's parents died when she was young, leaving her to carefully scrape by under the thumb of her uncle and aunt. The only thing she looked forward to was the childhood betrothal her parents had arranged for her.

But progressive young men these days admired modern women, and there was no shortage of overseas-educated gentlemen who called off their arranged marriages. Everyone said that Du Weizhao would surely come to the Ruan family to break off the engagement once he returned.

This match had never been a good one to begin with.

The day Du Weizhao came to the Ruan family, Ruan Yuxiu mustered all her courage and asked him timidly, "Mr. Du, could you please not break off our engagement?"

Du Weizhao looked into her clear eyes and froze for a moment.

In the eyes of progressive young men, Ruan Yuxiu was a relic who should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago.

But Du Weizhao patiently took her hand and led her, step by step, out of decaying old conventions.

Ruan Yuxiu came to see how vast the world was, and finally understood that as a woman, she did not have to bow and scrape or obey the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. She was free.

A story of the heroine's growth.
