Experience timeless tales of love, betrayal, loyalty, and destiny — narrated with heart and soul. ✨ Story Summary Cui Yushu, a concubine-born daughter from a collateral branch of the Cui family, volunteers to marry the gravely injured heir of the Duke of Britain’s household, Pei Yichen, as a “fortune bride” in exchange for dowry and family resources. Everyone mocks her foolishness, unaware she has already calculated her gains — if he dies, she inherits; if he lives, she rises with him. Unexpectedly, Pei Yichen wakes and regains his power. When her cousin regrets giving up the match and demands him back, Cui Yushu stands firm. Yet as Pei Yichen becomes entangled in court struggles and prepares to go to the frontier, what began as a marriage of profit slowly turns into genuine love — one he’s long hidden behind his calm eyes. ✨ Characters Cui Yushu: Smart, pragmatic, and ambitious. Though labeled greedy, she knows exactly what she wants — survival and power. With calm wit, she manages both household and business, eventually earning respect and love. Pei Yichen: The duke’s heir, talented and noble. Once comatose, he awakens with renewed strength and a quiet affection for his wife, standing by her in both court and battlefield. Cui Yuzhen: Yushu’s proud cousin who once broke off the engagement but tries to reclaim it after Pei Yichen’s recovery, only to end in disgrace. Pei Siyuan: Pei Yichen’s straightforward sister and Yushu’s closest ally in the duke’s household, offering both friendship and support. Duchess of Britain: Strict yet wise matriarch who comes to value Yushu’s competence and sincerity, guiding her to establish herself within the noble family. 🔔 Don't forget to subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss a story! 🎧 Follow us for more: Full playlists by novel Special short stories and extras Behind-the-scenes on translating ancient tales 💬 Tell us your favorite character or moment in the comments below! #MoonlitStories #Audiobook #ChineseRomance #HistoricalRomance #AncientChina #LoveStories #TranslatedNovels
