On her eighteenth birthday, he told her she made him sick.\n\nSo she stopped chasing, and agreed to the marriage her family had arranged for her instead.\n\nThe Pei clan is the most powerful house in the capital, far above anything she could reach on her own. Her luck is that a family full of brilliant men produced one wastrel: Pei Ziye, who spends his days gambling on cockfights and doing nothing else. Same age as her, same lack of prospects. A perfect match.\n\nOn the day of the formal meeting, she sits imagining a quiet, easy life with him. The door opens on an autumn wind, and the man who walks in is not Pei Ziye.\n\n[Original Novel](https://fanqienovel.com/page/7446604231043206169)    \nOfficial English","published":{"start_date":"2024-01-01","end_date":null,"start_date_is_estimated":true,"end_date_is_estimated":null},"status":"completed","is_licensed":true,"content_rating":"safe","type":"novel","original_language":"zh-Hans-CN","rating":null,"popularity":{"global":{"current":300937,"history":{"1d":303051,"1w":null,"1mo":null,"3mo":null,"6mo":null,"1y":null}},"type":{"current":28122,"history":{"1d":28258,"1w":null,"1mo":null,"3mo":null,"6mo":null,"1y":null}}},"last_updated_at":"2026-09-29T01:18:21.219Z","source":{"anilist":{"id":null,"rating":null,"rating_normalized":null},"anime_planet":{"id":null,"rating":null,"rating_normalized":null},"anime_news_network":{"id":null,"rating":null,"rating_normalized":null},"kitsu":{"id":null,"rating":null,"rating_normalized":null},"manga_updates":{"id":"xnil3la","rating":null,"rating_normalized":null},"my_anime_list":{"id":null,"rating":null,"rating_normalized":null},"shikimori":{"id":null,"rating":null,"rating_normalized":null}},"publishers":[{"id":4914,"name":"Fanqie Novel","canonical_url":"https://mangabaka.org/publisher/4914/Fanqie-Novel","language":"zh-Hans-CN","note":null},{"id":2620,"name":"WordExcerpt","canonical_url":"https://mangabaka.org/publisher/2620/WordExcerpt","language":"en","note":null}],"rating_count":0,"final_volume":null,"total_chapters":116,"titles":[{"language":"en","traits":[],"title":"Wasn't This Just a Marriage Alliance?
