I Took a Wild Young Man as My Husband

【Traditional historical romance + household intrigue + strong heroine and hero + mutual devotion + sweet and angsty】 A spirited noblewoman who likes to put on airs of refined composure VS a roguish, untamed top scorer who always repays a grudge Xie Axuan is one of the finest young ladies in the capital, refined and self-possessed, and has spent half her life following the rules. But when the palace suddenly interrogates her, she has no choice but to weave a lie to escape unscathed. She disgraces herself by claiming she lost her virtue to Ning Ji, the equally notorious legitimate grandson of Duke Jingguo. Afterward, to make everyone inside and outside the palace believe her, she takes the initiative to pursue him. Her circumstances quickly hit rock bottom. The daughters of the capital’s noble families avoid her like the plague, afraid that even meeting her might taint their reputations. Who could have guessed that when she went to snatch a husband from the exam candidates, she would catch a top scorer? She thought he was her prey. Little did she know that the best hunters appear to be prey, and that he had been plotting all of this for a long time. Ning Ji gladly accepts, already overjoyed inside. “That day in the palace, she wasn’t trying to frame me. I was the one who volunteered to be her shield.” The capital is full of intrigue, and some people harbor wicked intentions. When chaos erupts among the three princes, the family resigns from office and returns to their hometown. Her family is slaughtered, and she is imprisoned. To clear her name, he willingly gives up his chance to earn an official degree, takes up his sword again, and travels alone to the frontier. “Master Ning, you’re the first scholar in the dynasty to be made a marquis for military merit. Why can’t you give up this habit of sneaking into a woman’s boudoir?” “That’s not for you to decide. I’m entering my fiancée’s chambers openly and properly. It’s perfectly reasonable, not a breach of propriety.”
