After Accidentally Marrying the Big Shot in a Period Novel

Yan Xue's luck had run out early in life. To escape her dire circumstances, the young woman had no choice but to travel far beyond the frontier to marry a stranger.

She’d heard that while the man no longer had much backing, he was capable, tall, and strikingly handsome—a decent match by her standards.

On the day she arrived, the forest was blanketed in heavy snow. After switching from a large train to a small one, her hands and feet were numb with cold. Amid the swirling snowflakes, she finally spotted a tall figure—and a pair of eyes colder than the winter itself.

Qi Fang’s family had fallen from grace, and he’d tasted the bitterness of human indifference. Not only did people avoid him like the plague, but even his fiancée came to kick him while he was down.

That day, the wind howled so fiercely it felt like it could freeze the blood in his veins. He braced himself for humiliation, but instead, the woman before him smiled and extended her hand—

"Are you Comrade Qi Fang? Hello, I’m Yan Xue. I’m here to marry you."

The petite girl’s eyes curved into crescents, bright and round like moons. To his surprise, she wasn’t here to break off the engagement.

Later, when the storm subsided and the snow cleared, his real fiancée finally showed up.

She had dreamed of a book—one where Qi Fang clawed his way back from the forest to the city, founding the legendary Changqing Heavy Industries, and then ruthlessly crushed everyone who had wronged him, including her.

Assuming Qi Fang had remained unmarried in the book’s timeline, she thought there was still time to fix things. But when she rushed to find him, she saw the man arguing with a young woman.

The future tycoon, known for his icy heart, was flushed with anger—yet he still carried the girl on his back with utmost care…

She was stunned. Meanwhile, Yan Xue, who had just been confronted by the real Qi Fang, was equally baffled.

Didn’t her great-aunt say her blind date was supposed to be devastatingly handsome?

How could their standards for "handsome" be so different???
