Sickly heiress x self-made, heaven-defying hero
1.
Huo Buqi was the quintessential self-made, heaven-defying hero.
As soon as he arrived in the Upper Realm, he swiftly passed the First Academy's entrance exam. Not only did he snatch a certain cannon-fodder rich kid's place, he also saved a sickly beauty and pledged himself to him for life.
The next day, when the admission list was posted, he dealt with the cannon fodder's provocation as usual and was on a roll, slapping faces and putting scumbags in their place... Wait, why was he being seized as a son-in-law right below the admission list?
The people who took him came from the Tian family, the most prominent clan in the Upper Realm.
The First Academy, renowned for a thousand years, was called Tianli Academy in full.
And the beautiful young man who had caught his eye and received his promise was named Tian Shaoyu. He was the young master the Tian family had kept hidden and pampered for over a decade.
2.
Tian Shaoyu had been frail since childhood and rarely left home.
His elders doted on him and his siblings adored him, but Heaven alone showed him no mercy. Born in poor health, he fell ill often.
The Tian family searched the entire Upper Realm but couldn't find the medicinal ingredient needed for their young master's medicine.
Tian Shaoyu didn't want to wait for death in a stifling home.
For the first act of rebellion in his life, he went down the mountain alone and entered the academy's admissions exam under an assumed name.
That night, he unexpectedly fell ill and collapsed into the arms of a strange young man.
The young man stayed by his side all night, helped him get through the exam safely, then took the blood jade from around his neck and gently placed it in Tian Shaoyu's palm.
"I'll take responsibility for you."
Tian Shaoyu understood only half of what he meant, but took the blood jade home with him.
His medicinal ingredient had appeared, and its name was Huo Buqi.
