Wrongly Wedded to a Powerful Official: The Merchant's Daughter Won't Back Down

Yin Ruo, the third daughter of the immensely wealthy merchant family, is as beautiful as a flower and famous throughout the border city. Though she is a woman, she is the family’s heir. Her life has long been decided: she will spend it dealing in gold and silver. But then an imperial edict arrives, ordering her to marry a prince? As his secondary consort? Miss Yin is furious. “Why should I bow and scrape to the powerful and let them ruin my happiness? Whoever wants this marriage can have it!” To get out of it, she comes up with a clever plan. She goes undercover, supplies military provisions, and invents a pretext, all in the hope of catching the prince in a compromising position and forcing him to give her a letter of divorce. Liang Wei, the current Prince of Yao, is undefeated in battle. All he wants is to campaign across the land, build a glorious career, and spend his life on the battlefield. Someone wants to break off their engagement? He searches his heart and finds Yin Ruo’s shadow everywhere. Liang Wei is furious. “You’ve already stolen my heart, and now you want to leave? I won’t allow it!” A little scene: <The Accounting Scene> “Miss Yin, tell me, how much is my good reputation worth?” Liang Wei sits up straight. Yin Ruo works her abacus, quickly calculating a figure, a sly glint in her eyes. “That little?” Liang Wei’s face darkens, though he remains perfectly composed. “Then forget the divorce. I’m not selling.” <The Little Dumpling Scene> The little dumpling shakes his head as he studies hard. Yin Ruo looks at him expectantly. “Son, why are you learning to read?” “So I can learn to use an abacus later, Mother!” the little dumpling answers cheerfully. Liang Wei snorts from the side. “Boy, why are you learning to read?” The little dumpling raises an eyebrow. “So I can become a great general like Father.” Everyone falls over. No wonder he’s the son of the Third Miss and the prince. Even at such a young age, he’s already so cunning!
