If You Marry, Marry the Top Scholar

Male transmigration | Mobius |

The little fox You Su is determined to marry the top scorer in the imperial examinations, while Lu Feixiao is only a poor scholar.

Even though he's handsome and graceful, even though he promises her a life of luxury, even though he rescues her from danger, even though he buys her a roast chicken every day...

You Su only wants to marry the top scorer.

You Su is firm in her resolve, but she can't read and mistakes the provincial graduate for the top scorer.

Overjoyed, she pounces on Lu Feixiao.

She wakes the next day aching all over, only to realize Lu Feixiao is nowhere near becoming the top scorer.

"What do I do? I... I still have to get married."

You Su doesn't want to be held to her promise anymore. Her eyes turn red with tears.

Lu Feixiao leisurely kisses the tears from her cheeks and comforts her. "We can always keep it a secret."

"Keep it a secret?" The girl looks at him, wide-eyed and confused.

"That's right." The satisfied young man licks his lips. "If I don't come first one day, we'll keep it from that top scorer and make sure he never finds out."

You Su lowers her head, twisting her fingers in indecision.

After a long pause, she blushes and whispers,

"Then from now on... be gentler, and don't let anyone find out."

Later, the capital's elite gather beneath the examination results to find husbands, and many people ask about Lu Feixiao's marital status.

Lu Feixiao is a man of his word. A faint smile appears on his usually aloof face.

"Sorry, my wife won't let me tell."
