[Updated daily]
Her fiancé passed the imperial examinations, climbed the social ladder, and broke off his engagement to Lin Xinji.
Lin Xinji: What a bastard. I don't need him! I can support myself!
To make money, Lin Xinji spent two years writing romantic fiction. One day at an inn, she saw a handsome young man with an extraordinary air about him.
Her eyes lit up. That build, that face... She had found the hero for her next story!
Little did she know the young man was Zhou Zaiye, heir to the Marquis of Yongkang!
Rumor had it that the heir to the Marquis of Yongkang was rebellious, cold-blooded, and ruthless, with countless deaths to his name on the battlefield.
Lin Xinji feared he would discover she'd written him into her romantic fiction and have her killed, so she avoided him at every turn.
But Zhou Zaiye came looking for her himself. "Miss Lin, why not consider marrying me?"
On her wedding night, Lin Xinji sat dressed in red in the marquis's residence, bewildered. This can't be right...
Between the red bridal curtains and glowing candles, Lin Xinji fidgeted nervously. "Tonight... are we supposed to do anything?"
Zhou Zaiye smiled at her, bracing his arms on either side of her and loosely enclosing her in his embrace. His voice was low:
"Isn't my wife more familiar with these things than I am?"
Lin Xinji: ...?
-
The Zhou family was caught in the storm of suspicion surrounding the imperial court. He hadn't wanted to drag Lin Xinji into it.
Until the day he saw her crying so bitterly atop a high tower.
If she had no good man by her side, then he would become that man.
Whether it was the former fiancé who broke off their engagement and then regretted it, or the cousin she'd known for years,
as long as he moved fast enough...
Miss Lin would end up marrying him.
Outspoken, brave heroine x competitive, possessive hero
P.S. A sweet romance, entirely fictional setting, not a story about a strong female lead.
Contains a tiny hint of coercive romance.
Theme: Only love freely given can embrace the winds of freedom
