The Crazy Woman Returns Home, Plotting to Marry the Handsome, Tragic Young Marshal

The provinces north of the Yangtze belong to the powerful Huo family. The Huo heir, Huo Siyu, is a ruthless and unhinged man with a dark, twisted temperament. He has been married twice before, and both brides met gruesome deaths on their wedding nights. Now, he is about to marry for the third time. Everyone is waiting to see how the new bride, Rong Tangtang, will die on her wedding night. But on the very day of her wedding, Rong Tangtang does something shocking. She never even makes it into the bridal chamber—she is arrested and thrown into prison. Everyone assumes her madness has returned, and that she is doomed. No one expects that, later that very night, the young marshal himself will personally come to the prison… and carry her out in his arms. Five years old when she was sent overseas for treatment of her “madness,” the eldest daughter of Rongxing Department Store, Rong Tangtang, has finally returned home. But everything has changed. Her only brother has been framed for murder and imprisoned. Meanwhile, her grandfather’s department store empire and lavish mansion are about to fall into the hands of her stepmother. Determined to uncover the real murderer and reclaim her family’s fortune, Rong Tangtang devises a bold plan: she will marry Huo Siyu, the notoriously unstable young marshal of the powerful Huo household, and use the marriage to gain access to the Marshal’s Residence—the very place where the murder took place. The two strike a deal. They will each get what they need. She becomes the Young Marshal’s Wife, but theirs is nothing more than a contractual marriage—one in name only. Until one day, their contract expires, and Rong Tangtang decides it is time to leave. But Huo Siyu refuses to let her go. Covered in wounds, he grips the hand dragging her suitcase with one hand. With the other, he presses a gun against his own heart. For the first time, the ruthless young marshal lowers himself before someone. His voice is unbearably humble. “You want to leave? Then take my life. That is the only meaning it has.” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Crazy Woman Returns Home, Plotting to Marry the Handsome, Tragic Young Marshal — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
