After Mistaking Someone Else for My Fiancé, the Gloomy Power Broker Started Acting Obedient

[Historical romance + devoted to each other + bickering couple + lighthearted and sweet + one-on-one romance]

A seemingly foolish but secretly clever village girl vs. a ruthless official who falls hard and loses his composure

Azao travels to the capital to find her fiancé, who has passed the highest imperial exam. Unable to distinguish between two similar-sounding words, she walks straight into the residence of Ling Yu, the ruthless official.

The man is pale, cold, and aloof, nothing like Heidan, the kind but dark-skinned man she knew before.

But he's so beautiful that Azao wants him, and Azao gets what she wants.

Ling Yu is the Censor-in-Chief, a brilliant young man of unmatched looks.

His reputation, however, is terrible. He's ruthless and a master at confiscating people's property.

Then a country girl shows up at his door, claiming to be his fiancée.

As it happens, her fiancé is the very rival who stole Ling Yu's own fiancée.

He decides to impersonate his rival and make the girl fall madly in love with him, as revenge against his enemy.

Time slips by in secret, and before they know it, love fills the courtyard.

Just as Ling Yu is happily making wedding preparations, Azao learns the truth and runs away.

Word spreads throughout the capital that Censor Ling has gone mad searching for her.

All along, Ling Yu thought he was taking revenge on Lin Qiyuan.

Only later does he understand that he was driving a nail into his own heart. The moment it was pulled out, his blood flowed everywhere.
