A bowl of tofu saved him from ten years of hardship;
An imperial edict pushed her into his fate.
He was once a poor scholar selling tofu on the street. On a snowy night, he was about to die and was given a bowl of hot porridge by the superior eldest princess.
From then on, he swore that he would not seek fame in this life, but only to repay her kindness.
After studying hard for ten years, he became the top scorer in high school and the whole court was in an uproar.
But no one expected that the eldest princess, who had never been flirtatious with men and held military power, would propose marriage in court!
"Shen Yanzhou, be my consort."
"Why me?"
"Because you are clean, useful, and... You owe me a life."
He thought this was the consummation of his love, but he didn't know that he had been a pawn in her plan for ten years.
She used him to bring down powerful ministers and purge the court, and she even did not hesitate to make him bear the reputation of "clinging to the royal family."
Until that night, he found a stack of yellowed pages in her study——
It contains every article he has written in the past ten years, with comments on each page: "Stupid, this should be corrected", "Today's sloppy writing is punishable", "Ayan, it's cold, please add some clothes".
It turned out that the cold-hearted eldest princess had been protecting him silently for ten years before he even knew her name.
——Is this marriage her plan or his redemption?
★ Counterattack from a poor family × Machiavellian sweetheart × Two-way secret love × Class crossing
★ The male protagonist is venomous but soft-hearted and knows how to make tofu｜The female protagonist is decisive and decisive and eats melon seeds in private
★ From "repaying kindness" to "being used" to "I am willing to die for you" - love is never a one-sided sacrifice.
