The Real Daughter Has Become Famous All Over the World for Fortune-telling

This is indeed a **** love story.

 In a love story, there needs to be a strong and affectionate male protagonist, an innocent and charming heroine, and a female supporting role who is outstanding in all aspects but is not loved by the male protagonist.

These roles correspond to Zhao Yanshu, Ling Lan and Qin Xiaoyu.

 Zhao Yanshu’s previous account was half true and half false, but the real process was actually like this—

Zhao Yanshu is the son of a salt merchant, and Qin Xiaoyu is the daughter of Buzhuang. The two families are family friends and have always had a good relationship, so the parents of the two families discussed and decided to marry their two children.

It can be said that Zhao Yanshu and Qin Xiaoyu are righteous childhood sweethearts, and they are well matched.

 But at that time, classes were clearly defined, including scholars, peasants, and merchants. Although the merchants had money, if they really wanted to cross the class, they still had to take the imperial examination and become an official.

So, Zhao Yanshu planned to go out to study.

He promised both families that when he got the honors, he would marry Qin Xiaoyu in a glamorous manner.

 The Qin family and the Zhao family both agreed.

 Zhao Yanshu left home to study, and Qin Xiaoyu waited at home for five years.

 Qin Xiaoyu grew up from a young girl to eighteen years old. In that era when women had to get married after their hair age, eighteen years old was already considered an old girl.

But she resisted the rumors from the outside world, kept her promise to Zhao Yanshu, and single-handedly supported the business of the Qin and Zhao families.

The purpose is to allow Zhao Yanshu to study with peace of mind and relieve him from worries.

 But who would have thought that green plum blossoms are no match for those falling from the sky.

 Zhao Yanshu met the love of his life, Linglan, when he was studying abroad.

Suzuran was born as a peasant girl with a poor family and a miserable life experience. She has parents who favor boys over girls, a brother who likes gambling, a mean sister-in-law, and a naughty younger brother...

 The whole family treated Lily of the Valley like an animal, as if they wanted to **** out every drop of blood from her body.

 Forced her to the point where she could hardly survive.

Just when Linglan was about to commit suicide, she met Zhao Yanshu who was passing by.

The weak girl, the pitiful life experience, and the hot tears suddenly aroused the man's protective desire - maybe it was love at first sight, maybe it was lust.

 In short, Zhao Yanshu fell in love with Linglan and made a lifelong promise to her. He never even thought that he had a fiancée waiting at home.

 Later, Zhao Yanshu took Linglan back to his hometown.

He explained to his parents that he wanted to cancel the marriage to the Qin family and marry Linglan as his wife. The news spread, and the rumor that the Qin family's daughter was disliked spread in the town.

　　Since she was still unmarried and her engagement was broken off, Qin Xiaoyu’s years of waiting became a joke.

 Gossip and rumors almost made her unable to survive.

 Fortunately, the Zhao family's parents are sensible. They know Qin Xiaoyu's infatuation for waiting for their son for so many years. On the other hand, they also have a disdain for Linglan.

They always believe that it is better to get married if they are well-matched.

 So, they gave Zhao Yanshu two choices:

Either, he should take Linglan and get out of the Zhao family and start his own family. From now on, the Zhao family's property will have nothing to do with him, and the Zhao family will raise other stepchildren to inherit the family property and fulfill the engagement with the Qin family.

 Or, marry Qin Xiaoyu as your wife and live a good life. After Qin Xiaoyu gives birth to a legitimate son and her status is stable, you can then decide whether to take Linglan as your concubine or not.

Zhao Yanshu couldn’t afford to leave his fortune behind, so he chose the second option.

 But he believed from the bottom of his heart that Qin Xiaoyu was forcing all of this. If she hadn't insisted on marrying him, her parents would never have used such an extreme method.

 He vented all his malice on Qin Xiaoyu, even thinking:

 It would be great if Qin Xiaoyu did not exist.

This way he doesn’t have to fulfill the engagement, lose the inheritance rights to his vast wealth, and he doesn’t have to be separated from his beloved Linglan.

 So, a vicious plan took shape in his mind.

On the eve of his wedding, he left the city alone, found the horse bandits who were robbing homes in the mountains, and negotiated a deal with them...
