"Why don't you consider falling for me, Madam?"
Su Fengzhou is the daughter of the late General Su. A month ago, both her parents died in battle. To honor their loyalty, the emperor issued an edict granting her lavish rewards, transforming her overnight from an unknown girl into a famous orphan of a military family.
Quiet and restrained, she never fought for attention or competed with others. After her great-uncle, the wealthiest merchant in the capital, brought her to the city, she had hoped to uncover the truth behind her parents' deaths. She never expected to become the most troubled person in the entire Su household.
Ever since she arrived in the capital, one storm after another had swept through her life. Her reputation was ruined, rumors clung to her, she was driven to the brink, and, worst of all, she was forced into marriage. The source of all of it was the Su household.
People said that although she was alone in the world, having General Lu as her protector was a fortune beyond measure.
Everyone in the Qi Kingdom knew of Lu Guiya's fearsome reputation.
He commanded troops and held military power. Stern and quick-tempered, he was younger than the old men at court, yet feared throughout the court as a demon of the battlefield, the sharpest blade in the emperor's hand.
Everyone thought a man like him would never marry. But they didn't know that he had kept one person in his heart for more than ten years.
On the day Su Fengzhou was tricked into marriage, the wedding procession had just entered the main street when Lu Guiya, alone on horseback, blocked the road and stopped the entire procession. The sight sent the whole city into an uproar and shook the court to its core.
Later, she became the scandalous woman at the center of the capital's gossip, while he became the mad general impeached by every official. Everyone watched from outside the game, waiting to see the two of them meet a miserable end.
No one expected the couple to live up to their infamous reputations and throw the capital, even the entire Qi Kingdom, into chaos and turmoil. Together, they toppled the corrupt imperial regime, dredged up the truth buried beneath the lake, and brought it to light.
Later, when people spoke of the couple, no one repeated the old rumor that marrying Lu Guiya had been a fortune beyond measure for her.
Instead, they said that having Su Fengzhou as his wife in this life was a blessing Lu Guiya had earned through a hundred lifetimes of good deeds.

Reader's guide:
1. He has loved her in secret for ten years. Secret love, marriage before love, slow burn.
2. Not a traditional marriage-before-love story. The plot comes first, with romance woven in. The supporting cast of ordinary people also gets its moments to shine.
3. This is my first serious drama, so please be kind if the writing isn't perfect.
4. Chapter lengths vary. My drafts are usually 3,000 characters, but revisions add more. Most chapters are around 4,000 characters.
My next campus romance, The Sound Falls Silent
Available for preorder. It will launch on July 20. If 300 people add it to their reading lists, I'll launch it early. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites ⭐

[Insecure, sensitive, quiet girl who can't speak vs. sunny, carefree golden boy]
Campus | City life | Secret love | Innocent romance | Both are each other's first love | Mutual pining
Wen Yan's life was like a black-and-white movie. Everyone treated her like a hot potato, including her own parents. No one in the world noticed or cared about her, and no one ever gave her even a little warmth.
She curled up and struggled through life, carefully piecing herself back together. She never expected to meet someone in high school who would light up the rest of her life.
Jiang Yu.
With the bright sunshine and chirping cicadas of summer all around him, he was as dazzling as the sun. Without warning, he burst into the black-and-white world where she had always been alone.
He told her jokes that weren't even funny, brought her breakfast, stood up for her when she was bullied, and taught her to be brave, confident, and loved.
Everyone said that Jiang Yu, the golden boy, only helped the quiet girl in the corner out of pity.
Even Wen Yan believed it.
So she didn't dare approach him or look at him. Even hearing the name Jiang Yu made her fight to control her racing heart before turning and running away.
These unspoken feelings, with nowhere to go, were something she only dared to write down when the night was still and she had gathered every last bit of courage.
"I think I've fallen for someone, jy"
[Little scene]
Years later, at a class reunion.
"Yu, why did you always help that mute girl back then?"
Jiang Yu, now a rising star in his industry, spun the ring on his ring finger.
"Help?"
"I was pursuing my wife."
"Never mind. You lot are a bunch of single losers who've been bachelors for years and still can't find a wife. You wouldn't understand."
Socrates once said:
Pick the ear of wheat you like best, then close your eyes and walk through the whole field.
But to Jiang Yu, that was a load of nonsense:
He wouldn't close his eyes. He would keep them open, loudly show off, and tell everyone:
"Wen Yan! You're the one and only ear of wheat in this field, the one with Jiang Yu's name written on it!"
"And the only ear of wheat!"
Then he'd take her hand and walk with her through the whole field.

[Orange Candy] I've had it. It's rare that I haven't seen such a long-running emotional drama between the male and female protagonists. Lu Guiya's male protagonist's character really impressed me 😭 I feel like breaking up every time I watch it, madam!! I must keep going, how can I live without you? [Bursts into tears] Madam!!
😭 I was so scared, I thought Qing'er was going offline. I also wanted to think about what we, the adults, would do if Qing'er was gone. 😭 When will we two little bitter gourds be happy?
[Orange Candy] It's a day to clock in and remind you to wake up
Who knows, the young author who has been squatting for so long has become v!! It feels like raising a daughter! So excited, so excited, madam, please keep writing!!!
I'm serious, no one understands how I feel now [hugs thigh]
Ah ah ah, the female goose is so brave. I really want to cry when I see this. These two finally kissed.
[Purple Sugar] kswl I'm really going to die, madam, you're serious, I'm crying to death, I even wrote a New Year's play for us during the Chinese New Year, I finally saw them kissing 😭 😭 Madam, Happy New Year!!
[Purple Sugar] kswl is urging me to update. I want to urge you to update. I am not fattening up or fattening up at all. I can't help but want to read the updates when I see them. I have a reasonable suspicion that my wife is being lazy, ma'am!! Update ah ah ah ah ah ah! Madam, have you seen it? This is a reminder 😭 More updates, madam, don't be too tired, and don't idle yourself (incompetent rage, roar two more version)
Teacher works so hard! I like the author who cares so much about the protagonist of the novel, I hope it will be a big hit [touch your head]
