After working for many years, Feng Man saved up some money and refused to be a workhorse any longer. She quit her job, returned home to retire, and planned to live out her comfortable little days tending to one room, one shop, and one courtyard. Little did she know, just as her favorite boutique private restaurant was preparing to open for business, she transmigrated into a cannon fodder female side character in a period novel.
The cannon fodder side character was strikingly beautiful, schemed against by her scumbag father and stepmother, and coveted by a bully scumbag man. A miserable marriage awaited her.
Fortunately, the neighbor next door was the original body’s baby betrothal partner—an important male side character in the book with a bright future ahead. Tall and handsome, upright and kind, with a shy personality and considerable wealth, he handed over all his wages. Marrying him meant a life of bliss.
Feng Man decisively chose her long-unseen baby betrothal partner and traveled thousands of miles south to marry him!
Who wouldn’t choose such a good thing? Only a fool would pass it up!
However, her new husband differed somewhat from the important male side character in Feng Man’s memory.
The book described him as shy, yet he was so dominant in bed.
The book said he was wealthy and handed over all his wages, but had he handed over a bit too much?
Supporting her increasingly sore waist, she gazed at the terrifying figure on the passbook… Feng Man gradually sensed something was off.
It turned out that she had not married the promising male side character from the book, but the villainous boss who built a commercial empire—even more formidable than the book’s male lead!
But wasn’t the villain boss supposed to have no interest in women? Why, then, did he cling to her every day!
Cheng Lang started from nothing. After accumulating some savings, he took over the Mine District to become his own boss, with a bright future ahead. Tall and upright with handsome features, he was the dream lover of countless female comrades in the Mine District. Many uncles and aunts tried to pull him in as the perfect son-in-law for their families.
Yet he was naturally aloof, disinterested in romance. He kept his distance from all female comrades and ignored every blind date introduction, leaving onlookers frustrated—they could see him but couldn’t have him.
Until one day, a woman claiming to be Cheng Lang’s baby betrothal partner arrived. With her fair skin and stunning beauty, bright and captivating, she declared she had come to marry him.
Cheng Lang, who had never had a baby betrothal: ?
