Xiao Yan enlisted in the army as a youth and earned his title through outstanding military service. A rising star in the capital, he became the dream husband of noble young women from prestigious families.
He personally requested an imperial decree granting him a marriage, so he could wed the woman he had cherished in his heart since childhood.
But on the eve of their wedding, his beloved eloped with another man. To save the Jiang family from disgrace, they secretly put their illegitimate daughter, Jiang Ran, in the bridal sedan in her place and married her into the marquis's household.
On their wedding night, Xiao Yan happily lifted the red veil, only to find a completely unfamiliar face. He was furious, but with the imperial decree in place, he had no choice but to accept this mismatched marriage.
Jiang Ran knew perfectly well that without the need to cover up the family's shame, a marriage like this would never have fallen to someone of her status.
Since she was there, she decided to make the best of it and treat the marquis's residence as a place to build a life. Even when Xiao Yan directed all his resentment at her, deliberately ignored her, and treated her poorly in every way, she never complained. She kept the household in perfect order and handled herself with grace and intelligence in public.
Before long, her presence brought warmth and life to the once-cold residence, making it feel like a home. Xiao Yan, too, grew accustomed to, and even began to look forward to, the lamplight she left burning for him late into the night.
Until his
Ranran, have you prepared grapefruit leaves to cross the brazier [smirk]
However, the aura is getting stronger and stronger 😚
Come on, of course, you can definitely do it
Mr. Hou wants to be Ran Ran's backing!!!
Sure enough, I can't coax him back in a short time.
Ranran is very sad and can't persuade her to come back [bursts into tears]
Hahaha Ran Ran's acting skills are good
When you say you are relaxing, you are relaxing, right? [Sunglasses]
When Xiao Xiao was tempted, did she ever regret for being mean in the past? She woke up in the middle of the night and slapped herself three times, then tucked Ranran into bed 🧋
This revenge is too satisfying, hahaha 🤩
