Chapter 1

In the autumn of 2015, Xia Xiwan sat on a train, heading from the countryside to Haicheng.

When I was nine years old, I was abandoned in the countryside. Today, I've finally been brought back, and there's only one reason: the Xia family is going to marry their daughter off to Youlan Garden as a bride for a spirit appeasement ceremony.

It is said that the groom from Youlan Garden is terminally ill. The Xia family has two sons, and neither of them is willing to marry him, so they brought back their daughter who had been raised in the countryside to act as a substitute bride for the auspicious occasion.

Xia Xi Wan sat on the bunk bed, reading a book in her hands. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a biting cold wind, accompanied by a sweet, pungent smell, swept in.

Xia Xi Wan raised her eyes and saw a tall and handsome figure fall in from outside.

He is in a coma and unresponsive.

Soon, several black men rushed in, "Boss, there's no one here now, just send him straight to hell."

"Who said there's nobody here?"

The man with a scar on his forehead looked at Xia Xiwan.

Xia Xi Wan didn't expect the unexpected heat to arrive suddenly. This man who suddenly fell in the carriage brought a deadly danger, the scar man's eyes were full of murderous intent, obviously wanting to kill him to silence him.

Xia Xi Wan silently glanced at the weapons in their hands, and quickly panicked, begging for mercy, "Don't hurt me, I didn't see anything."

The scarred man walked forward, looking at Xia Xiwan's small face. She was wearing a veil, obscuring her true features, but her piercing eyes were visible outside it.

Her eyes were exceptionally clear and bright. As she looked around, they seemed to dance with life.

The scar-faced man had never seen such a beautiful and captivating pair of eyes. He was instantly captivated, and since he hadn't seen anyone in days, he developed evil thoughts.

"Little man, we can spare you, but you have to take care of your brothers."

Summer Evening delicately wound her long feather wings, looking pitiful as she said, "I don't want to die, I'm so scared. As long as you don't hurt me, I promise I will serve you well."

The child's pleading made the scarred man unable to hold back any longer. He rushed forward and pinned Xia Xi down.

"Big bro, you go first. We'll send this guy on his way and then we can have some fun with the brothers."

In the midst of vulgar laughter and warm, homely surroundings, Scarface put down his weapon, his hand reaching to undo Xia Xiwan's belt.

But the next second, a slender little hand grasped onto it.

The scar-faced man looked up and met the child's clear, bright eyes. There was no more fear or weakness in them now, only a cold, sharp glint.

"You!"

The scarred man wanted to speak, but Xia Xiwan raised her hand and with incredible speed, jabbed the silver needle in her hand into the scarred man's head.

The scarred man closed his eyes and fainted to the ground.

"Boss!"

Several black men were surprised and wanted to step forward, but at that moment the man lying on the ground suddenly opened his eyes and snatched the weapon from the black men's hands.

One after another, the Black people all fell to the ground.

It happened so fast, it was like lightning striking.

Xia Xiwan sat up, knowing all along that this man was faking unconsciousness. He was with someone else.

Xia Xi Wan raised her eyes to look at the man, and the man was also looking. He had a pair of extremely deep and narrow eyes, as sharp as an eagle's, with two small abysses in his eyes. Anyone who looked into his eyes would be sucked in.

"Grandpa, we are late."

The rescuers arrived and began to work in an orderly manner, a loyal subordinate handing the man a clean handkerchief.

The man made an elegant hand gesture, then strode confidently towards Xia Xiwan. His finger bones were distinct as they gripped her delicate chin.

He narrowed his eyes, a playful glint in them, and spoke in a low, magnetic voice, "What do you think I'll do to you?"

His slender fingers, calloused and warm, covered her jaw. Xia Xiwan was forced to look up at him. He was tall and handsome, with an aura as strong and cold as the night itself.

Just now he had already been injured, but he could still smell the coppery sweetness and chilling malice.

Having seen what you shouldn't have, it's hard to retreat completely.

This man is quite dangerous.

Slap!

Xia Xi Wan directly slapped the man's hand away and said righteously, "Be presumptuous! I am going to be the bride of You Lan Yuan!"

To marry the bride of You Lan Yuan?

The man raised an eyebrow, that was interesting. His... bride?

“Are you from Haicheng? Then you should know that Xia's daughter is getting married to Youlan Garden. This wedding is the talk of the whole city, and I am the bride. If something happens to me, do you think you would encounter even bigger trouble? Let me go, I saw nothing, and I won't say anything!”

Xia Xiwan now really wants to thank her stepmother, Li Yulan, from the bottom of her heart. When Li Yulan brought her back to Haicheng, she only let her take the cheap train, but this wedding was extremely lavish and grand, all to gain a good reputation.

Xia Jia's daughter married to You Lan Yuan in a hasty union, this is the biggest gossip news in Hai Cheng. Xia Xi Wan is betting, betting that this man doesn't want to cause trouble.

The man watched with interest, today he was bought by his business rival to be killed, meeting this child was an accident.

Though he appears to be under twenty, with a pale face and tattered clothes, his bright and intelligent eyes sparkle with brilliance.

The key is still his bride.

The man retracted his eyes and left with the people.

Xia Xi Wan's fingertip, which was tightly clenched, slowly loosened.

At that moment, the man ahead slowly turned his head. He looked and spoke in a voice that could be understood, "We'll meet soon."

......

Li Palace Garden, today's Xia family wedding is being held here.

In the bridal room, Xia Xiadie looked at her half-sister, Xia Xiwan, "Xia Xiwan, you lost your biological mother when you were nine years old, and then you pushed your grandfather down the stairs with your own hands. Even fortune tellers said that you are a disaster star, so your father sent you to the countryside. This time, if it wasn't for needing you to come back to marry for luck, you could only stay in the countryside for life. So you should know your place. You are not Xia family's precious eldest daughter, but a dog raised by the Xia family!"

Xia Xi Wan sat in front of the dressing table and said lightly, "Whose dog are you?"

Xia Xiadie crossed her arms and said, "Dog! You're mine!"

Xia Xi Wan Gu, "I understand, so you don't have to do it anymore."

Xia Xiadie only then realized that she had been led into a trap by Xia Xiwan. Looking at Xia Xiwan's clear and bright eyes, she always wore a veil, but when she exposed a pair of eyes, they made people feel like she was a breathtakingly beautiful woman.

Xia Xiadie was extremely jealous, wishing she could gouge out Xia Xiwan's captivating eyes. How could someone from the countryside be a person? She was putting on airs, clearly just an ugly monster!

"Xiwàn, the auspicious time has arrived, we can set off!" At this moment, Xià Zhèn Guó and Lǐ Yù Lán arrived with a group of distinguished guests.
