The Delicate Beauty After Her Wedding

[Fair-Skinned Beauty x Devoted, Straightforward, Rugged Man, Size Difference, Everyday Family Life]

Chen Jiaojiao was the prettiest girl in Ping'an County, with bright eyes, pearly teeth, a slender waist, and full curves. She was the beauty every young man for miles around wanted to marry.

Unfortunately, Chen Jiaojiao had impossibly high standards. She wouldn't look twice at anyone but a refined scholar who had read widely.

By the time she turned eighteen, the scholar she'd privately pledged herself to had passed the imperial examinations and abandoned her, making her the laughingstock of the whole county.

Furious, Chen Jiaojiao went to a fortune-teller and painstakingly picked the man with the best birth chart, one destined to rise to prominence and become a marquis or minister.

The man had a fierce face and was taciturn. Just looking at his firm muscles made Chen Jiaojiao's legs tremble.

But thinking of the man who had despised her for being a village girl, Chen Jiaojiao resolutely married him.

Xiao Li had spent five years defending the frontier, earning countless military honors. But when his mother fell gravely ill, he used those honors to request permission to return home a year early and care for her.

His family was poor, and the silver he'd brought home soon ran out. Just when he was at the end of his rope, Chen Jiaojiao suddenly said she wanted to marry him.

Everyone said he was incredibly lucky. Not only had he gotten himself a beautiful wife, he had also married into a wealthy family.

But Xiao Li didn't see it that way. Chen Jiaojiao was full of dreams about becoming a marquis's wife, and even treated marital intimacy as a favor she was granting him.

Xiao Li was seething inside, and always wore her out until she begged for mercy. Her curvy figure never seemed to recover.

Everyone waited to see the couple make fools of themselves.

But they waited and waited, only to see Chen Jiaojiao grow ever more plump and radiant under Xiao Li's care, get pregnant again and again, and actually become a first-rank marchioness!
