My Scumbag Father and Stepmother Sold Me for Glory. The Heir Cleared Out His Treasury to Marry Me

[Face-Slapping and Punishing Scumbags + Sweet Romance, One-on-One + A Powerful Alliance]

As the daughter of a low-ranking seventh-grade official, Shen Yao's greatest wish is to split off from the family with her sickly younger brother and escape the control of her scumbag father and stepmother.

But her father and stepmother are utterly shameless. They force her to marry a lecherous old man who is both ugly and bald, and whose previous eighteen wives all died!

Her attempt to set a fire and flee the marriage fails, and Shen Yao thinks an endless abyss awaits her.

Unexpectedly, an imperial decree of marriage makes her the wife of the heir to the most powerful marquis's household in the capital!

Her scumbag father and stepmother fawn over her, but Shen Yao kicks them away:

Get lost! Don't block my road to wealth and glory!

The next moment, a pair of strong arms wrap around Shen Yao's slender waist:

"My lady, I'll earn all the wealth and glory for you. Could you spare your husband a few more glances?"

Looking at her husband, a man as refined as a jade tree and unmatched in nobility, yet so insecure and anxious, Shen Yao is utterly baffled.

Does this man think she'll abandon him and their child at any moment?

Little does she know that in his previous life, the man had tasted the pain of loving someone he could never have.

In this life, he wants only to hold her hand tight and never part, in life or death!
