Historical Romance: Why Is the Young Lord Pretending to Be Good Again Today?

Pure historical romance + marriage before love + a touch of political intrigue + sweet romance + possessive love, the heir who is not what he seems

All of the capital believes that Xie Qiu, heir to the Jing’an estate, is a gentle and refined immortal banished to the mortal world.

Only Song Shao knows it is all an act. In truth, he delights in plotting and control.

Years ago, he had already bought a private residence.

Its courtyard was filled with blue morning glories.

Morning glories cling to trees to grow, and Song Shao was meant to depend on him and bloom in his private residence.

“Lord Xie really did have such thoughts hidden away.” She studied the plaque at the residence, lost in thought.

“This place is lovely. If we have time, let’s come stay here for a few days.”

She would peel back, bit by bit, the thoughts he kept hidden from the world.

A Shao, stay with me forever and ever, through every lifetime. Let us be bound together, never to part.

Go nowhere but to me.

A Shao, please love me a little more, all right?

No transmigration, no being reborn. They are both locals.

Xie Qiu’s courtesy name is Zhigui.

Song Shao’s courtesy name is Huayu.

Content note: The main plot centers on overturning a wrongful case, and the emperor preserves the heir’s status.

In each other’s worlds, they have eyes for no one but one another.

The first time happens very quickly, so please bear that in mind if you decide to read.

The main plot only gets underway after the wedding. Sorry if the earlier setup is unclear. You can scold me; I’ll do my best to learn from the feedback.

The romance moves quickly, since this marriage was part of Xie Qiu’s long-laid plans.

This is an alternate-history dynasty, and the story includes some somewhat modern expressions. Please bear with them.

The heroine is clever.

There is little angst in the romance.
