The Top Scholar's Buddhist Bride Finally Wins His Heart

Chu Yan had a real grievance. He was clearly a master of romance, yet was stabbed to death on a date because of his "love debts," only to wake up in ancient times as a newly deceased provincial graduate who had nothing but a handsome face and talent. The original owner was an exam-taking machine, and his only two inheritances were his dream of becoming the top scorer and a cool, handsome man in need of "saving": Fu Qingxuan. System: Pass the imperial exam and become the top scorer, then marry him, or be erased! Chu Yan: ??? An arranged marriage with a death threat attached? To stay alive, Chu Yan had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and get to work. I'm good at studying and exams. As for flirting with a man and pursuing a wife... Uh, in theory, I'm pretty good at that too! He had a clear goal: first become the top scorer, then marry his wife in grand style! At last, he earned top honors in the imperial exams and rushed straight to the palace hall to petition for an imperial decree, leaving the assembled officials stunned. What should he do when he gets his wife home and discovers he's far too laid-back? Dote on him! What if outsiders say bad things about his wife? Talk back! What if his wife secretly grieves over an old injury? ...Wait, could a System lottery solve that problem? From then on, the top scholar's daily life consisted of showering everyone with displays of affection, standing up for his wife, and looking forward to the System dropping a "surprise gift pack." This is a story about being forced to study for the exams and get married, only to find that it really is wonderful after all.
