Reborn to Claim the Top Scholar, Let My Ex-Husband Sink or Swim

In her previous life, Qi Yue Ning trusted her scheming half-sister, who framed her and married her off to Shen Jingyao. She thought he loved her, but he caused her Crown Prince brother’s death, had her mother consort executed, and sent her maternal grandfather’s entire family into exile. She was abused and killed. Reborn, she takes down scoundrels, destroys the scheming white lotus, kills corrupt officials, heads to the battlefield, revives trade, and helps the Crown Prince ascend the throne. The top scholar she boldly pursues is handsome and cold, and says little, but he’s always helping her with plans. The more time they spend together, the more he falls for her. Top Scholar: “Your Highness, all of the capital says I’m not worthy of you. Are you truly going to marry me?” Qi Yue Ning presses him against the wall and lifts his chin. “What’s wrong? Is the top scholar afraid to marry me now?” Should she just tie him up and drag him to the wedding ceremony? As for the wedding night, a few more cups of aphrodisiac wine should do the trick. The man pulls her into his arms with a firm embrace. “No. If Your Highness dares to marry me, I’ll dare to marry you.”
