The Eldest Brother Says Nothing, Just Keeps Both Branches of the Family Going

Nie Xiao became an idiot three days before the wedding, but Shen Taoyan didn't call it off.

For three years of marriage, she protected him at every turn without a single complaint.

But one day, she finally discovered that her husband had only been pretending to be a fool, all for the sake of the woman he loved.

Her parents-in-law knew, too. She was the only one who had been kept in the dark and fooled for three whole years.

With her younger sister about to marry, the parents who had always ignored her still wouldn't let Shen Taoyan ask for a divorce.

So Shen Taoyan devised a flawless plan and made herself a widow.

What she never expected was that Nie Xiao's noble elder brother, Nie Heng, would offer to carry on the family line for both branches.

Nie Heng was a stickler for propriety, reserved and aloof. Shen Taoyan thought he was doing it out of a sense of duty.

Later, the faithless Nie Xiao returned with red-rimmed eyes. "Taoyan, I was wrong. You're the one I love, aren't you?"

Shen Taoyan replied coldly, "My husband is already dead."

Unexpectedly, Nie Heng, standing beside her, had red-rimmed eyes too. "My lady, I am your husband now."
