The Beloved Bride by Proxy

To protect her mother’s ashes, Shen Xining takes her younger sister’s place and marries into the Su family. The first time she meets him, he is noble and aloof, cold and heartless. To avenge himself, he torments her without end. But… When others call her a stutterer, he threatens to cut out their tongues. When she suffers from menstrual cramps, he cancels work and warms her belly with his hands. When she’s timid as a mouse, he always stands in front of her. When her younger sister returns, she can only hide the heart she’s lost to him and slip away in secret. But he pulls her tightly into his arms from behind. “Did I say you could leave, little stutterer?”
