I Married My Nemesis First, Then Fell in Love

**Blurb:**

The two people in the capital who get along worst are the Marquis of Zhenbei’s feral young heir, Lord Xie, and the prickly Miss Luo from the Censor’s family. An absurd imperial decree ties them together.

He thinks she’s a mad dog who only knows how to bite. She thinks he’s a hypocrite who spouts nothing but benevolence and righteousness. The whole capital is waiting to see this bickering couple turn their bridal chamber into a battlefield, making a mess of everything until one of them is dead.

On their wedding night, they face off with swords drawn and lay down three rules: stay out of each other’s affairs and get a divorce as soon as possible!

But as undercurrents stir in court, family interests collide, and shared secrets and enemies quietly emerge... they have no choice but to play the loving couple in public. In private, their attempts to trip each other up turn into an uncanny partnership.

When he is ambushed, she instinctively takes an arrow meant for him. When she is trapped in a burning building, he rushes in to pull her out, heedless of his own life.

They still trade barbs: “Don’t get the wrong idea. If you die, it’ll make divorcing you even more of a hassle.” “Likewise. If you’re crippled, I’ll have to take care of you.”

So why won’t their hearts listen? How much longer are they going to keep up this act?
