So What If I'm a Spoiled Heir!

[Blurb: 2026.01.02]

Wen Ruqing is renowned in the capital as its greatest beauty and finest scholar, gentle as jade and dazzlingly talented.

Unfortunately, he was born frail and has no chance of entering officialdom. With his family fallen on hard times and unable to support themselves, he is forced to marry He Yan, the capital's most infamous wastrel, as his husband.

On their wedding day, Wen Ruqing is left alone outside the Prince's mansion, with nobody there to welcome him.

Inside, He Yan is ranting at his father.

"Even if I, He Yan, have to die! Even if I have to jump into the Prince's mansion's dry well! I absolutely will not marry some man as my wife!"

The next moment, He Yan turns around and sees Wen Ruqing in a bright red wedding robe, delicate and frail, yet beautiful as a painting.

He Yan's expression changes on the spot. "Who let Young Lord Qing come in by himself? Hurry and help Young Lord Qing back to the sedan chair! I still have to go out and welcome my bride personally!"

He Yan's father: "?"

In the Great Jing Dynasty, men who became husbands were considered no better than servants. Countless people were waiting to see Wen Ruqing humiliated, and Wen Ruqing was prepared to be neglected and bullied.

But after they actually married, Wen Ruqing realized things weren't quite as he'd expected.

The playboy who spent all day hanging around brothels was actually a pure-hearted young man who only knew how to listen to music and had no idea about romance.

The wastrel who spent all day neglecting his studies was actually just giving up on himself after losing his mother as a child and having a father who was away at war year after year.

He would defend Wen Ruqing's reputation and take meticulous care of his health.

He did want to study hard, but nobody had ever disciplined or guided him, and nobody expected him to achieve anything.

Having spent years raising his younger siblings, Wen Ruqing understood: this poor kid was starved for affection.

Wen Ruqing's love was the cure He Yan needed.

Gentle, sickly beauty bottom x pure-hearted, goofy wastrel top

[Reading Guide]

1. The Three Realms tradition is 1v1: the top and bottom only have eyes for each other, in both body and heart~

2. A very sweet, cliched marriage-first, love-later romance. The top is just a little older than the bottom, and both boys are eighteen. The top is a bit of a cutie, and a 1 is still a 1, as the saying goes.

3. The top is extremely pure-hearted, because that's my thing. He's so innocent he doesn't even know what liking someone means. If that's not your cup of tea, please stop reading in time!

4. The bottom will teach the top to read and study, and go to the academy with him. The top will gradually leave his wastrel reputation behind~

Theme: Support and grow together, and never give up on yourself for any reason
