Two male leads + everyone’s favorite + romantic rivalries + catfights + competing men + fictional dynasty + both virgins
Liu Qingzhi transmigrates into the body of a son born to a small family, recently brought back after being lost.
But on the very day he is brought home, he’s knocked unconscious and sent in his older brother’s place to marry the legitimate son of the Duke of Anguo’s household, in the hope that the marriage will cure the groom.
Fortunately, the legitimate son of the Duke of Anguo is a gentle man.
After their wedding, they sleep in separate rooms and never once cross the line.
He is gentle and broad-minded, a gifted writer, and has many friends.
So many people come and go from the Duke of Anguo’s household, but strangely, no one has ever seen the young duchess’s true face. In private, they all speculate that this person who dares not show himself must be ugly.
Eventually, Liu Qingzhi’s husband, already gravely ill, passes away. In this dynasty, a wife is allowed to remarry after her husband’s death.
So before he dies, her husband picks out several good matches for his wife:
Jing Yuxuan, a high-ranking minister stationed at the frontier, eight chi tall, uninterested in women, and incomparably handsome;
Cui Qinghe, head of the eight great families of the Great Zhou court, a refined man who has read widely;
Shang Xing'an, the legitimate son of a prominent capital family who grew up alongside her husband, whose family is wealthier than the nation;
and the overly proper Grand Tutor, who treats him like a younger brother and has always avoided both men and women, remaining unmoved by temptation. He is a true gentleman in this world.
