The Eldest Brother Says Nothing, Just Keeps Both Branches of the Family Going

Three days before their wedding, Nie Xiao became an idiot, but Shen Taoyan didn't break off the engagement. For three years of marriage, she protected him at every turn and never once complained. But one day, she finally discovered that her husband had only been pretending to be an idiot, all for the sake of the woman he loved. Her parents-in-law knew too. She alone had been kept in the dark and fooled for three years. With her younger sister about to marry, her parents, who had always treated her with indifference, refused to let Shen Taoyan ask for a divorce. So Shen Taoyan set up an airtight scheme and made herself a widow. What she didn't expect was for Nie Xiao's dignified elder brother, Nie Heng, to offer to take on the responsibility of both branches of the family. Nie Heng was the most proper and reserved of men, cool and distant. Shen Taoyan thought he was acting purely out of a sense of duty. Later, the faithless Nie Xiao came back with red-rimmed eyes. “Taoyan, I was wrong. You're the one I loved all along, aren't you?” Shen Taoyan replied coldly, “My husband is dead.” Unexpectedly, Nie Heng, standing beside her, also had red eyes. “My lady, I'm your husband now.”
