On Our Wedding Night, the Stubborn Grand Judge Falls at One Push

[Cold, abstinent high-ranking official x gentle but strong princess]

Before coming of age, Lin Qiqiu travels to the capital alone to seek help from Lord Lu.

She is still young, and Lu Qingyan finds her troublesome. Without a second thought, he plans to send her to the Charity House, an orphanage in ancient times.

But in the end, he raises her in his own residence.

They are not far apart in age, yet at their engagement banquet they call each other uncle and niece. He even tries to find her a husband and arrange her marriage.

He never expected the girl to fall in love with him. When he finds out, he is furious and declares that there can never be anything between them!

If it’s impossible, then so be it. She wipes away her tears and decides she doesn’t care. She even starts looking for other men.

But just when their relationship is at its most strained, an imperial decree makes them husband and wife.

On their wedding night, he says no, he won’t, but one push from her and he topples over.

Just as their love reaches its height, Lord Lu wants to take another wife? He even plans to make her lose their child himself!

She can no longer endure living under someone else’s roof, so she leaves while pregnant.

Two years later, she is the emperor’s only princess.

The emperor makes a grand announcement across the realm, seeking a husband for her. The successful candidate will be promoted, enriched, and awarded ten thousand taels of gold.

Any man chosen by the princess as her lover will receive a thousand taels of silver.

The decree sends men across the land scrambling to outshine one another, and the competition flourishes.

A few days later, news comes that the princess has truly taken a lover.

The Northern Ling Kingdom can no longer hold back. It sends a letter declaring that its king is willing to come in person and arrange a marriage alliance.

And so begins his long road to win her back.
