The Fierce Farmer's Wife: The Crown Prince Offers the Entire Treasury to Become Her Live-In Son-in-Law

Xu Ruoruo, a top agricultural scientist in the post-apocalyptic world, opened her eyes to find herself a bride sold into marriage to bring good fortune to a sick man. Worse, she was expected to be buried with him when he died. Xu Ruoruo rolled up her sleeves and got to work. Anyone who came at her got a beating. Two came, two got beaten. Whether it was the wicked mother-in-law who wanted her buried alive, the village gossips who spread rumors, or the greedy clan members eyeing her estate, Xu Ruoruo would let none of them off. She established a household in her own name, took in a live-in husband, grew grain, raised cattle and sheep, cleared roads, and built up medical services… Xu Ruoruo was so busy that the people were grateful for all she did, treating her like the provider of their food and clothing whenever they saw her. The only exception was the man she'd exchanged wedding vows with, who wore a long face all day. “I'm the one you married, and I'm the one who became your live-in husband.” “You ought to pay some attention to me.” After a palace coup, the brightest rising star in officialdom became a crown prince living among the common people. The crown prince was stern and inscrutable, his heart as cold as ice. As soon as he reclaimed his position, he ruthlessly purged his enemies, leaving rivers of blood outside the palace walls. Every noblewoman in the capital sighed over the First Female Marquis Xu Ruoruo's bad luck. Surely the crown prince would never acknowledge his past as a live-in husband. Who could have guessed that the crown prince would stand alone outside the marquis's residence, snow swirling around him, offering the entire imperial treasury as a dowry, his eyes red as he said, “Ruoruo, would you let me marry you?”
