Seeking a Sparrow

Powerful Warlord × Cool, Delicate Maiden

A husband pursues his wife after marriage. The female lead has no romantic feelings for the male lead before she comes of age.

The first time she met Li Ju, Wen Que was thirteen.

She had gone to treat someone’s illness, but the rebels mistook her for a wealthy landowner’s family member and locked her in their camp. She nearly lost her life.

Her childhood sweetheart, to whom she was betrothed as a child, came to rescue her. Pointing at the tall rebel leader who was chopping off someone’s head, he said:

“Don’t worry, he’s my uncle. We’re family, so he definitely won’t give you a hard time.”

Li Ju, the “family member,” truly didn’t give Wen Que a hard time. He merely shot her a cold glance and spoke with utter contempt: “Enter the Li family? Is someone like her even worthy?”

When they met again, four years had passed. Wen Que was a renowned physician, while Li Ju had gone from a rebel leader everyone wanted dead to the Prince of Langya, feared by all.

She removed the arrowhead lodged near his heart and dragged him back from death’s door. Then she told him, “I’ll break off my engagement to your nephew as soon as I get home. Rest assured, Your Highness. I’ve never cared to enter the Li family.”

With those words, she repaid the humiliation of four years ago.

The man’s face was deathly pale, beads of sweat covering his handsome features, yet his smile was full of confidence. “Miss Wen, don’t be so sure.”

Wen Que assumed he was sticking up for his nephew.

It wasn’t until the Prince of Langya, The Outcast, personally came to her home,

that he declared, with utmost solemnity, in front of her entire clan, that he would marry no one else in this life.

Content warning: The male lead is nine years older; an uncle-and-younger-woman romance.
