After I Transmigrated, I Fell in Love with the Cold and Aloof Commandery Princess After Our Marriage

Li Rongjing transmigrates into the body of an impoverished scholar. To make ends meet, he has no choice but to show off his store of poetry at a poetry gathering.

By chance, he saves the Junzhu of the Jing'an Marquis's household when she chokes, and the two end up touching in front of a crowd of witnesses.

By the rules of propriety, he must either marry her or die.

Li Rongjing: “...I choose to marry into her family.”

After the wedding, he expects to face his in-laws' cold stares and his icy wife's disdain.

So he quietly gets to work on little inventions: a folding clothes rack, a new kind of waterwheel, allicin... He only wants to improve their lives and keep himself alive.

But little by little, he realizes that the famously aloof and proud Junzhu is looking at him in a very different way.

She leaves a lamp burning for him late at night. When he runs into trouble, she firmly says, “I'll face it with you.” And when he excitedly shares his “wild ideas,” her eyes shine with the same blazing enthusiasm as his.

Before long, he is renowned at court and wields power across the land. The mockery of the past has given way to admiration.

Everyone praises him: “Lord Li is truly a pillar of the state!”

Only he hurries home after court, eager to take their little A Ning from her arms and ask with a quiet laugh:

“My dear, has our A Ning been good today?”

After transmigrating, his greatest pride is not becoming a marquis or chancellor, but winning her heart with his own, and turning the “respect” of their marriage-before-love into a love that lasts a lifetime.
