The Powerful Family's Pursuit of the Heiress

At a wedding, the richest man in Shencheng marries a woman with a notorious reputation. Ning Guiwan is the menace everyone in high society talks about: she persecuted her sisters, caused her birth mother's death, led a scandalous private life, and was despised by her father, who sent her abroad to fend for herself.

Until one day, Mr. Quan gets a minor injury, and Mrs. Quan furrows her brow over it. Then “Something’s wrong, ma’am! The master hurt his arm. Please come back and see him!” “Something’s wrong, ma’am! The master hurt his leg. Please come back and see him!” “Something’s wrong, ma’am! The master…” “What is it this time?” “The master says he’s sick. Please come back and see him!” “What kind of illness?” “He says it’s lovesickness…” “…” [A doting romance, sweet enough to give you a toothache]
