The Fake Heir Flirts with a War God Who's Shameless, Desperate, and Ready to Fight for Him

[Devoted, domineering, and virtuous God of War vs. impoverished heir apparent disguised as a man] [Virtuous historical romance + unhinged flirtation + smart characters + groveling pursuit + lovers reunited + court intrigue] Murong Qianfan was forced by her father from childhood to dress as a man and inherit the marquis's title. Sent against her will to study at Tushan Academy, she met the aloof beauty Li Jin. They bickered and competed at every turn, eventually growing to understand and love each other. But when her mother threatened to take her own life, Qianfan had no choice but to abandon the imperial examinations and leave behind the senior she loved. Their tearful parting on a rainy night led the two most promising students at Tushan Academy to abandon the exams, sending the headmaster into such a rage that he fainted, spitting blood. Three years later, Li Jin returned after earning distinction in the army, bearing the title of God of War. Qianfan, meanwhile, was still struggling to get by in the crumbling marquis's residence. Her mother was unconscious, her father had fallen into despair, and her younger sister was frail and sickly. Their expenses exceeded their income, and debt collectors could come knocking at any moment. The powerful could bully them whenever they pleased, so Qianfan had no choice but to defy her mother's wishes and take the imperial exams again, seeking an official position. She assumed Li Jin had come back for revenge, but the mighty God of War, so fearsome on the battlefield, was now humble before her, flirting shamelessly and vying with everyone to help her enter officialdom. After Qianfan placed at the top of the imperial exams, the two accidentally uncovered the mysteries of their respective origins. When the truth came to light, the entire court was left reeling. Who could explain how the ending had turned out so differently?
