The Delicate Beauty After Her Wedding

[Fair-skinned Beauty x Loyal, Straightforward, Rugged Man, Size Difference and Everyday Family Life]

Chen Jiaojiao was the prettiest girl in Ping'an County, with bright eyes and pearly teeth, a slender waist, and a full, curvy figure. She was the beauty every young man for miles around wanted to marry.

Unfortunately, Chen Jiaojiao thought too highly of herself and looked down on everyone but the refined scholar who had read countless books.

Time passed, and by the time she was eighteen, the childhood sweetheart she'd pledged herself to had passed the imperial exams and abandoned her, making her a laughingstock throughout the county.

Furious, Chen Jiaojiao went to a fortune teller and searched high and low for a man with the best birth chart, someone destined for wealth and power, a noble title and high office.

The man had a fierce face and few words. Just looking at his solid muscles made Chen Jiaojiao's legs tremble.

But when she thought of her lover, who looked down on her as a country girl, Chen Jiaojiao resolutely married him.

Xiao Li had spent five years on the frontier, earning countless military honors. But when his mother fell gravely ill, he used his achievements to request the favor of returning home a year early to care for her.

His family was poor, and the silver he brought home soon ran out. Just when they were at the end of their rope, Chen Jiaojiao suddenly offered to marry him.

Everyone said he was incredibly lucky. Not only had he gotten a beautiful wife for free, but he had also married into a wealthy family.

But Xiao Li didn't think so. Chen Jiaojiao's head was full of grand dreams of becoming a marquise, and even when they shared a bed at night, she treated it as a favor to him.

Xiao Li kept his frustration bottled up and always wore her out until she begged for mercy. Her voluptuous body never seemed to recover.

Everyone waited for the couple to become a laughingstock.

But as they waited and waited, all they saw was Chen Jiaojiao grow rounder and more radiant under Xiao Li's care, her belly swelling again and again, until she really did become a first-rank marquise!
