The Heir's Bride for Good Luck

The renowned God of War, heir to the Duke of Jingguo, lies gravely wounded and unconscious, his life hanging by a thread.

His fiancée refuses to marry him to bring him good fortune, but the heir cannot die without an heir of his own.

"A thousand taels of silver for any maid who bears the heir a child." The Duchess summoned the maids.

Cai Wei hesitantly raised her hand. "What if I don't manage to have one?"

Then you get five hundred.

Cai Wei is just a lowly maid. Her greatest wish is to save enough money to buy her freedom.

The heir is young, clean, and rather handsome.

He's about to die, so having a child is impossible. They won't even be able to share a bed.

This deal is guaranteed profit.

Cai Wei carried her small bundle into the heir's room.

With her unconscious master, there wasn't much to do. Every day she tended the flowers and turtles, cracked melon seeds, and read storybooks.

Before she could finish her book, the heir woke up.

Not only did he wake up, he got out of bed.

Then he got back into bed, vigorous and full of energy.

Cai Wei: ...

The heir was about to get married. Cai Wei rubbed her aching waist.

The rewards the heir had given her over the past few days would last her several lifetimes. The mistress of the household was not easy to serve,

and the scholar who used to write her poems had apparently passed the imperial exams.

Cai Wei hefted her huge bundle and ran away.

The little maid his stepmother sent over was a spy.

On her first day, she stole the storybooks where he hid important information.

On the second, she used changing his bandages as an excuse to strip him.

Once the important business is done, I'll deal with this spy, the heir thought.

Later, he did indeed deal with this little spy, thoroughly.

He left her teary-eyed, her voice trembling.

A spy's life ends badly. He had to find her a way out.

The heir came home with the imperial edict ordering his marriage.

Where was the little spy? She had taken his money and run!

◆

The real daughter of the Prince's residence had returned,

and she was engaged to the newly appointed top graduate of the palace examination.

A fight broke out at the engagement banquet!

The heir to the Duke of Jingguo, the taciturn killer who kept everyone at arm's length,

was going to steal the bride!
