HE [Emojis] [Both Pure] [Sweet Romance]

On the very first night He Cao married into the Wei household, the man died in bed.

His son returned for the funeral, and the first thing he did was sell off all his concubines, including her.

Everyone in the capital knew Wei Ze was a living King of Hell, with a cold gaze and a ruthless heart. Who would dare cross him?

He was also utterly uninterested in women, never indulging in carnal pleasures, as if he had no part in this world.

In the household, He Cao was Wei Ze's father's concubine. Outside it, she was nothing but a lowly village woman he wouldn't spare a glance.

With her wolfish brother-in-law and sly sister-in-law pressuring her from the front, and the scheming second branch framing her from behind, she had no choice but to play the pitiful, ingratiate herself with her stepson, and beg him to look after her.

Later...

"Brother Ze, look what I've got here." The woman called out in the tone of an elder.

"What did you call me?" Wei Ze sat leaning against a tree, one leg bent.

He Cao went on as if she hadn't heard him. "I didn't call you the wrong thing..."

He swatted the green crab from her hand. "Where did you village brat get the nerve to act like you're above me?"

Wei Ze pinned her against the trunk, his eyes slowly roaming over her lips, as if surveying his own territory.

Then he leaned closer, slow and gentle, his voice soft and low. "Be good. What would you call this between us? How about you call me husband?"
