After Picking Up Attributes, I Took Liu Rushi for a Fool

Transmigrated into the body of a destitute scholar in Songjiang Prefecture, I ran into the talented Qinhuai beauty Liu Rushi from the start.

Following the modern belief that "saving one life is better than building a seven-tier pagoda," I took out a few taels of silver and blurted out:

"Miss, it's been a while! Thank you for your hospitality the other day. Take this silver, and we'll call things even. Don't come looking for me again."

Seeing Liu Rushi's expression of utter humiliation and fury, I froze.

Only when she swept away did the talent orb she dropped on the ground tell me the truth: I might have just offended my future wife beyond repair?

To make up for it, I had no choice but to make a fortune by picking up her talents. From poetry and music to strategies for governing the country, I picked up everything she dropped.

Then one day, she cornered me against a wall, her gaze dangerous. "I hear that everything about you, except that stubborn mouth of yours, is something you learned from me?"

I gave a light cough. "My lady, the hardest thing about me is my conscience."
