2: On the wedding night, when the system is activated

"Wh... what?"

Jiang Shuwan's delicate body trembled as she asked in confusion.

"Sister-in-law, my name is Feng Ming. I am Feng Mian's younger cousin."

The decision to reveal the truth wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thought for Feng Ming; he had already negotiated terms with the Feng family before agreeing to the marriage.

After all, he was disabled and had difficulty walking. Even if he had no issues in other departments, he wasn't sure if she would mind.

Although marrying his Sister-in-law was a wonderful prospect, they were meant to be life partners, and Feng Ming naturally didn't want to force her against her will.

Moreover, now that he had the System, it was only a matter of time before he could stand up. There was no need to force Jiang Shuwan into a miserable marriage.

Jiang Shuwan was stunned. "You're not Feng Mian?"

Feng Ming hummed in affirmation. "I'm indeed not. The person who was originally supposed to marry you was my elder brother, but he was delayed by matters at the Sect and didn't make it back."

"The Feng family had no other choice but to push me forward to marry you, Sister-in-law."

"If Sister-in-law still wishes to marry my elder brother, I won't lift the veil tonight. I'll sleep in the study and wait for my brother to return to see what he thinks."

"Or, if you want to leave, I can give you a divorce letter and some travel money. You can find a paradise to live in seclusion."

"Of course, those are the worst-case scenarios. If Sister-in-law doesn't mind that I am the one you're marrying, I am naturally willing to live a good life with you."

"From now on, Sister-in-law will be my wife. I will certainly work hard to give you a good life and protect you."

"I..."

Jiang Shuwan hesitated greatly. After saying one word, she fell silent.

Feng Ming was in no hurry and did not press her.

"Sister-in-law can take your time to think about it."

"I have difficulty moving my legs. Being with me requires a lot of courage, so I won't force you."

Jiang Shuwan spoke timidly, "Young Master... please lift the veil first. I want to see you."

Feng Ming picked up the weighing rod, lifted a corner of the veil, and took it off.

Jiang Shuwan lowered her head, looking shy. Her makeup appeared even more beautiful and moving against the backdrop of the red wedding robe.

Feng Ming thought to himself.

"As expected, nothing tastes better than dumplings, and no one is more beautiful than a Sister-in-law."

"With such a beauty, I'd really be a bit reluctant to let her go."

Apparently, during the wedding ceremony, Jiang Shuwan had already seen Feng Ming's condition through the gaps in the veil.

But when she saw Feng Ming's face, she was still a bit dazed.

"You... Husband!"

Feng Ming pushed his wheelchair to the table to pour tea. Hearing Jiang Shuwan's call, his movements paused.

"Sister-in-law, have you made up your mind?"

Jiang Shuwan shook her head. "I don't know what to do either."

She had always thought the person in front of her was her husband, but she never expected it to be her brother-in-law.

He was letting her choose.

But from childhood to adulthood, everything had been decided by her elders. No one had ever let her make a choice for herself.

For a moment, she really didn't know what to do.

Seeing her like this, Feng Ming sighed silently. Women of this era were truly pitiable.

"Whatever thoughts Sister-in-law has, just speak them out boldly."

Jiang Shuwan shook her head. "I don't know. No one has ever let me make a decision!"

"Then does Sister-in-law want to leave? Or is there somewhere you want to go? If there is, I can arrange for you to go there."

Feng Ming understood Jiang Shuwan's hesitation and helplessness at this moment.

For the sake of the Phoenix and Luan Art, he wanted to guide her toward her heart's true decision.

Giving her the life she wanted could be considered a way of repaying her.

Two tear stains appeared on Jiang Shuwan's beautiful face.

From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time she had experienced such tenderness and care besides from her mother. This man was so considerate and meticulous. He was disabled and had finally managed to marry a wife; anyone else would have likely tried every possible way to keep her by their side.

But he actually let her decide for herself, even thinking of a way out for her.

Just based on this point, his character was clear.

A man with such good character, who was also gentle and considerate, was hard to find. Now that she had met him, how could she give him up?

Jiang Shuwan wiped her tears and looked at Feng Ming.

"I am willing to marry you!"

Jiang Shuwan stood up and bowed to Feng Ming. "This marriage was not my choice, but since Husband does not reject me, Shuwan is willing to marry Husband, for better or for worse."

[Ding! Host has successfully doted on his wife. Jiang Shuwan's favorability has increased to: 10%.]

[System Reward: Phoenix and Luan Art Cultivation speed increased to 2x, phoenix and luan pills: 2.]

As soon as Jiang Shuwan finished speaking, the System's prompt sounded.

Feng Ming was stunned.

"This counts as doting on my wife? If so, the System rewards are way too easy to get."

"The Cultivation speed of the Phoenix and Luan Art increased to double. This is amazing."

"What is this phoenix and luan pill? It couldn't be what I think it is, could it?"

Feng Ming began to check the information.

[phoenix and luan pill: Taken before dual cultivation between husband and wife, it can increase cultivation level and also has the effect of increasing...]

Halfway through reading, Feng Ming's face began to turn red.

"Husband, why is your face red?"

"Are you tired?"

"Shuwan will serve you as you rest!"

Seeing this, Jiang Shuwan looked concerned.

Feng Ming looked at the curvaceous and lovely Jiang Shuwan, his mind beginning to wander with restless thoughts.

They say no one is more beautiful than a Sister-in-law; today he finally had the chance to verify it.

"Alright! Thank you, Sister-in-law!"

"You're still calling me Sister-in-law?"

Jiang Shuwan's face flushed crimson.

Feng Ming looked embarrassed. Indeed, she called him Husband, yet he called her Sister-in-law.

He was so immersed in the joy of having a Sister-in-law that he hadn't snapped out of it!

"Shuwan, I'll have to trouble you for what comes next."

"Husband, what are you saying? Why would it be a trouble?"

Jiang Shuwan was puzzled.

Feng Ming glanced at his legs and said somewhat sheepishly, "I have no sensation below my waist, so the wedding night will be hard on you. But don't worry, that part still works; there's no impact in that regard."

Jiang Shuwan's face turned as red as blood.

Feng Ming was also a bit embarrassed. He quickly took out the phoenix and luan pill given by the System, swallowed one himself, and stuffed the other into Jiang Shuwan's hand.

"Here, have a jellybean!"

Jiang Shuwan swallowed it without hesitation.

The two looked at each other, feeling extremely awkward.

A moment later, Jiang Shuwan spoke: "Husband, I'll help you onto the bed."

Feng Ming nodded.

Fifteen minutes later.

Jiang Shuwan glanced at Feng Ming, who was lying beside her, his fingers trembling, unable to undo his buttons.

She couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

"Husband, are you very nervous?"

"How about I do it myself?!"

Feng Ming felt a bit embarrassed, but he couldn't be blamed.

In both his lives, he had never even been in a relationship. Now, he was suddenly married to his Sister-in-law and about to charge onto the battlefield; he truly lacked experience.

"Sorry, I really haven't adjusted to my new identity yet. Whenever I see you, I just want to call you Sister-in-law."

"Undressing you makes me feel a sense of guilt, as if I'm desecrating my Sister-in-law. I can't bring myself to do it."

Jiang Shuwan's face grew even redder. She grabbed Feng Ming's hand and guided him.

"Husband, we have already performed the wedding ceremony. I am your wife."

Feng Ming nodded. "You're right. Now you're my wife. A wedding night is only natural."

At this moment, he also snapped out of it. He had encountered such a stroke of luck that others could only dream of.

Yet here he was, being all shy and wasting time.

If he didn't hurry, once his elder brother returned, it would all be for nothing.

Thinking of this, Feng Ming seemed to become a different person. He became an Incarnation of a hungry wolf and pounced straight at Jiang Shuwan.
