A Match Made in Bliss

A slightly skilled, sassy woman × a fierce man who’s always trying to prove he’s good for more than living off his family’s laurels~

After the eldest daughter of the Su family of Yanjing returned home from the family estate, where she had been recovering from an illness, she seemed like a different person.

Meanwhile, the Su family, the undisputed leader in the lockmaking trade, was facing the gravest challenge since its rise to prominence. A master locksmith known as the “Ghost Hand” had suddenly appeared in the capital.
