The Substitute Bride

Poor, delicate Qi Yue is forced to take her stepsister’s place and marry a rough-hewn farmer in the countryside—only Qi Yue is a white-lotus with a black core. Brimming with anticipation, she arrives to discover the “bumpkin” is actually a generous, drop-dead-gorgeous man. While the villagers sharpen their knives, Qi Yue serves scalding tea to the scheming housekeeper, slaps down every bully with razor wit, and still finds time for sweet romance with her handsome husband—life couldn’t be more delicious.
