I Took the Top Scholar as My Husband, and It's Sweeter Than Ever!

“How can I let anyone else dictate what my daughter does?” Su Li, the eldest daughter of the General's Residence of the Defender of the Nation, has a long whip in hand. To escape a dull political marriage, she slips away to a mountain temple to “cultivate as a lay Buddhist.” But she doesn't find Buddha. Instead, during an accidental trip down the mountain, she meets Xiao Yi, a refined and handsome new top scholar, and they “become acquainted through a fight.” One “accidental” intimate encounter and one “impulsive” vow to give herself to him later, and the most formidable young lady in the capital has married herself off!

Everyone says a martial man's daughter is no match for a top scholar with extraordinary talent, like a flower stuck in a pile of manure. (Though it's anyone's guess who the flower and who the manure is!) Su Li sneers. “I can write well enough to bring peace to the realm” (not really, she just grinds ink for her husband), “and I can ride into battle to command the world” (and she really can!). After the wedding, she keeps the scholar's household running smoothly and becomes Xiao Yi's most capable “helpmeet” and “secret weapon.” Xiao Yi discovers that his wife isn't “cold” at all, but very “warm,” warm enough to melt his heart. With husband and wife united, nothing can stand in their way. Whether it's political intrigue at court or household feuds, with Su Li around, who dares lay a finger on her husband?
