Married by Mistake

Jiang Wanrong is a farmer's daughter who unexpectedly marries Li Xiange, the prefect of Jiangnan. After the wedding, her husband dotes on her, and she has no in-law troubles. She is very content.

That is, until the governor comes to inspect Jiangnan. Her husband starts restricting her from leaving the manor, refuses to let her attend any banquets, and insists on knowing whom she has met and what she has talked about with others. Even more frightening, Jiang Wanrong discovers that her husband has people secretly keeping watch over her.

She knows something is wrong, but can only swallow her grievances. Then, by chance, she overhears two people talking in a rock garden.

"Li Xiange, do you know she's my wife?"

"But now she's mine."

Those words leave Jiang Wanrong feeling ice-cold all over. She spends the day outside, trying to compose herself, before finally returning home.

Her husband has prepared dinner. Smiling, he reaches out to her. "Little Rong, you've been disobedient again. Didn't I tell you that you weren't to leave the manor these days?"

At that moment, she clenches the note in her hand. It reads: "Wanrong, my wife, you are the legitimate daughter of the current prime minister's household. We have been married for three years. Listen to me from now on, and we'll return to the capital together."
