The Delicate Young Master Marries the Villain of an Imperial Exam Novel

This novel will start on the 29th of this month. Thanks for reading~

Jiang Tu was born into wealth. Frail and delicate from childhood, he was doted on by his family and grew up spoiled and willful.

Later, his family fell on hard times, but he married his older brother's friend, who indulged his every whim.

That was until Jiang Tu met a cousin from another branch of the family...

That night, he had a dream.

In the dream, his bloodsucking cousin resented them for splitting the family estate. After placing first in the imperial examinations, he returned home to humiliate them, driving their family to ruin.

His husband narrowly escaped disaster, but spent the rest of the book opposing the protagonist, and ultimately died without leaving so much as a body behind.

Jiang Tu was furious: He was always the one who bullied others. Who did anyone think they were, bullying him?

A family split! Right now!

Everyone in Willow Tree Village knew that Ji Zhuxin, eldest son of the Ji family, had married a young husband.

The young husband was as pretty as a doll, with slender, delicate fingers and looks second to none.

He just had a terrible temper.

One month after marrying into the family, he tore up his cousin's books and demanded they split the household.

Three months after marrying in, he complained that the fabric was too rustic and made his sister-in-law embroider it.

Six months after marrying in, he refused to eat the coarse-grain cakes that scraped his throat and insisted on going to the prefectural city for pastries.

The villagers all said that with such a demanding young husband, their family was bound to fall apart sooner or later.

So they waited and waited, until the taciturn Ji Da opened a brocade shop, selling silk all the way across the sea;

until nobles from the imperial palace traveled a great distance, specifically requesting pastries from their shop;

until their much-anticipated cousin Ji was barred from taking the imperial examinations, while Ji Zhu kept rising through the ranks...

The villagers who had been watching the show: ?!

Is it too late to cozy up to them now?!

After years of marriage, her husband had worked his way up from a country hunter to a general, and still did the cooking and laundry for Jiang Tu.

Jiang Tu was very satisfied with this life.

There was just one thing: her husband was taciturn and cold, and even when it came to... he was extremely restrained.

It wasn't until he read the letters that he learned his husband had someone he'd loved for many years.

Well, that explained it. He had no desire for Jiang Tu because he didn't love him.

Jiang Tu wiped away his tears, packed a small bundle, and went back to his parents' home.

That night, Jiang Tu woke in a daze and saw a familiar figure standing by the bed.

He snorted. "Why come to me instead of looking for your beloved?"

Something in his words struck a nerve with Ji Zhu.

He kissed Jiang Tu hard, gritting his teeth. "After all these years, do you really not know who I love?"

The next day, Jiang Tu slept until the sun was high in the sky, his legs so weak he couldn't muster an ounce of strength.

Ji Zhu abandoned his usual tenderness, gripping Jiang Tu by the waist and pausing at a certain spot. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Baby, let's see if I can get all the way in."

Jiang Tu: "Wuwu..."

He was such a good actor!

After several years of marriage, Ji Zhu had gone from a farmer scratching a living from the earth to a Duke Who Guards the Nation, ennobled for his military achievements.

A colleague asked him why he worked so hard.

Ji Zhu didn't answer. Instead, he thought of the first time he'd gone to the Jiang residence

Jiang Tu had hidden his face behind a fan, revealing a pair of mischievous eyes. "I'm hiding here. You mustn't tell my brother."

Bright and carefree, like a luminous pearl.

He thought, I will hold this pearl in my arms.
