[Marriage first, love later + both leads are pure + ultra-sweet 1v1 + some angst + face-slapping + second male lead chases his love to the crematorium + the male lead takes the later spot and fights to win her]
[Unhinged, quick-witted female detective + cold, ascetic chief of law enforcement]
For a commission of 3.6 billion, she agrees to marry Yi Heng in place of the bride. He is the feared chief of law enforcement.
Before she can even enter the house, his stepmother, who barely counts as her mother-in-law, humiliates her and makes her walk through a side gate in the pouring rain.
A saying from Eastern civilization springs to mind: “To hell with this. Get an excavator and flatten the front gate.”
His stepmother is so furious that she calls Yi Heng to report her: “Yi Heng, if you don’t come back soon, your bride-to-be will have the Yi residence torn down before she even gets in.”
Four thugs swing their weapons and start mouthing off.
She shouts back, “Which village did these pigs crawl out of to get so full of themselves?”
“You dare mess with me? I’ll make you regret ever being born!”
Ten minutes later, the thugs are bruised and battered, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. “We were wrong, ma’am!”
When her father and his wife bring people to bully her mother and teach her a lesson, she rushes out with a kettle of hot water and shields her mother, calling out, “Come on, all of you! Bring it!”
“I’ll scald every last one of you until your skin peels off!”
A friend gives her a sharp assessment: “Does your wife have so much free time that she’s wiping windows?”
He doesn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, there’s a hint of pride in his eyes. “Behind every successful man is a woman with too much free time. You don’t have one, which means you’re not successful yet.”
The friend catches the insult and sighs. “You’ve forgotten your friends now that you have a wife.”
He’s a devoted wife-doter, and he really does dote on her!
