Tang Frost, Clear Banquet

The young troublemaker of the Marquis’s household is determined to refuse the marriage, only to fall into the Northern Pacifying Prince’s tender trap?

Su Wantang plants her hands on her hips and calls Shen Yanqing a “cold-faced block of wood,” then turns around and lets him soothe her with sweet steamed milk custard. She climbs the wall in the middle of the night to escape the wedding, and he waits at its foot with a cloak in his arms, saying, “If you fall, my heart will ache.”

But is this man really here to marry her?

The disappearance of three years’ worth of military funds remains a mystery. He uses their betrothal to investigate the Su family, sound out the powerful, and expose a border conspiracy. Even her flustered outbursts become an excuse to pry for information.

When she finds the “list of ways to protect my wife” hidden among his case files, and he takes a blade meant for her, can she still refuse this marriage...?

Too late!
