The First-Rank Noble Husband

Caught in the maelstrom, he stands utterly alone, harboring a loneliness no one understands. At their first meeting, the little chubby dumpling takes advantage of him, sneaking a chubby paw beneath his crimson-gold mask. In an instant, she's dazzled! She shamelessly latches onto the handsome young man, wishing she could marry him that very day. With a gap-toothed grin that whistles from her newly lost teeth, she declares, “Xiao Jiu saved you, big brother. Since I have no way to repay you, I'll just have to give myself to you!” As soon as the words leave her mouth, she plants a loud kiss on his forehead, catching him completely off guard and stamping him as hers. Her plan a success, she narrows her round, grape-like eyes into slits and smacks her lips, savoring the moment... Mm-hmm, she's only repaying a kindness. She absolutely has no designs on his handsome face. Who is it, chattering endlessly in his ear? He opens his bleary eyes to find a round face, white as a steamed bun, claiming to be his savior. Her eyes are dark as ink and gleam with mischief. Before he can make sense of what's happening, she's forcibly “stamped” him. Disbelief and shock surge through him... When they meet again, the little chubby dumpling has grown into a graceful young woman. She vows to push him into the lake so she can save him and earn another life-debt, finally taking her handsome big brother for herself... The story of a sickly young man whose heart is stolen by a little girl. Formerly titled *Ripples on the Luo River*.
