A Guide to Flirting with the Top Scholar

A cross-dressing woman who rises boldly to power x a cautious male top third-place graduate

(If you've bought the complete book, please leave a rating!)

In Jian'an City, there was one powerful noble whom nobody dared offend: Prince Xuan, Shen Yujun.

After three months away from the capital, Shen Yujun returned on the very day the top three graduates paraded through the city.

In the midst of the bustle, he caught sight of a handsome, refined face.

The top third-place graduate, Lu Yangui. Handsome and refined, young, with a bright future ahead of him.

Unfortunately, from that very day, the powerful noble no one dared speak of became obsessed with him.

He wanted Lu Yangui to bow his head, to submit, to die!

But Lu Yangui couldn't afford to. He struggled to stay alive, doing everything he could to prove he was still useful.

At last, the noble's face showed a hint of deliberation. He began to keep Lu Yangui around and toy with him.

Pinned to the bed, Lu Yangui protested in disgust, "This subordinate is not a homosexual!"

But Shen Yujun only smiled, a light, airy smile.

At last, the highborn prince rose step by step to even greater heights. He grew gentler with Lu Yangui, indulging him more and more.

Perhaps Lu Yangui had lost his mind. He actually began to feel happy at being cherished by him.

After countless days and nights together, the indescribable fragrance on the man's body began to intoxicate him...

Impossible. He absolutely was not a homosexual! He spent his days remorseful, disgusted, and miserably conflicted.

And the prince had his own princess consort, wife, and beloved women...

Tormented by remorse and disgust, Lu Yangui's heart drove him to keep proving his worth to the man in power, and to prove his love.

In the end, he really did kneel before him, begging like a dog and offering himself to his bed.

But weren't you a homosexual? Didn't you love me for my looks? Why are you rejecting me?

Prince Xuan became Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince ascended the throne to become Emperor.

The still-imposing emperor lowered his head slightly. Lu Yangui stared, his eyes red.

The emperor... was a woman?

So he really wasn't a homosexual...

PS:

1. The female lead disguises herself as a man, officially confirmed by the emperor herself.

2. 1v1, both leads are each other's first and only, happy ending.

3. The male lead suspects he's a homosexual, secretly gets jealous of his rivals, and crawls about in the shadows, desperately seeking love!

4. The parents' generation features a ruler taking a minister's wife, an emperor's true love, and the melodrama of the emperor's eldest son...

5. There are some political machinations, and the female lead becomes emperor.

A seemingly debauched, carefree heroine who has truly lost her memory x a clingy, flirtatious prince who pretends to be her husband

Xu Yuzhou, young mistress of the Shuangxi Manor, has roamed the martial world for years. She has always loved and hated without reservation, and her swordsmanship is second to none.

But she's lost her memory.

When she woke up, she was told she owed a debt of ten thousand taels of gold.

Her creditor was Zhou Zechuan, Prince Xiang of Nanjing.

Before she could figure out how to repay the debt, her creditor suddenly claimed to be her husband.

She didn't believe him.

But he told their story so convincingly that she began to think it really might have happened.

So... did that mean she didn't have to repay the ten thousand taels of gold?

Before she'd even sorted out the matter of this husband, a famous courtesan came looking for her, claiming Xu Yuzhou had promised to buy her freedom for a thousand gold pieces.

Had she really been the sort to rescue women from brothels, too?

With her past shrouded in mystery and assassins appearing one after another, Xu Yuzhou eventually set off to seek revenge.

But there seemed to be far too many people from her past along the way.

And now there was even this man claiming to be her betrothed.

Xu Yuzhou instinctively looked at Zhou Zechuan, but he simply said, "I'm used to it. It's fine."

No, she hadn't expected it either. Had she really been that much of a flirt?

And yet some old acquaintances claimed she had been devoted to one person, hopelessly in love?

But perhaps fate meant that people would always fall for the same sort of person.

"Whatever happened before, I think I've already fallen in love with the person you are now."

That day, Zhou Zechuan was so moved he cried.

But after a victory banquet, Xu Yuzhou looked at the unfamiliar man blocking her way.

Was he another person from her past?

She instinctively turned to look for Zhou Zechuan, but the man in front of her grabbed her first.

His grip was tight, and his beautiful eyes were filled with sorrowful determination.

"I'm the one you love."

"We even have a child together."

Zhou Zechuan: My wife is devoted to me. She said so herself.

Former husband: We have a child together.

Former fiance: We grew up together, childhood sweethearts.

Old acquaintance: We could die tomorrow. Who cares about titles?

Zhou Zechuan: Don't be angry, don't be angry. If I die of anger, who will take my place?
