In the years after Xu Maiqiu abandoned him, Han Yanqing made one stunning comeback after another on the road to the imperial examinations. In the end, he placed third in the palace examination, rising from a poor scholar to become the youngest new Imperial Court Third-Rank Graduate in the history of the Great Ming Dynasty.
Over the next five years, his career soared and official success followed him at every turn. He became the dream man of the noble young ladies of the capital, all of whom were waiting to be married.
Yet in all his years as an official, Lord Han had kept himself impeccably chaste. No one had ever heard of him getting close to women.
That is, until he was appointed Imperial Censor by the emperor and sent to inspect the provinces on the Son of Heaven's behalf...
In the years after leaving Han Yanqing, Xu Maiqiu married, was widowed before the marriage could be consummated, and led an unsettled life in Pinghai County, running her in-laws' pastry shop.
To live in peace, Xu Maiqiu wore no makeup and dressed plainly. She was feisty, yet still could not escape the gossip that swirled around a widow's doorstep.
She struggled to hold her ground, until Imperial Censor Han arrived...
A cold, proud, celibate Imperial Censor & a lively, feisty, enterprising young widow

Coming next: Springtime with Jiao Jiao
In the flower of her youth, Doukou was sold to a young scholar in town to become his bride and bring him good fortune.
The scholar was handsome and brilliant.
More importantly, he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve and treated her well.
Doukou adored him.
She thought they would live a quiet, ordinary life together forever.
But who could have guessed that the scholar would come top of the imperial examinations and catch the eye of the prime minister's daughter?
Doukou knew her status was low and that she had neither talent nor money.
Though leaving him felt like tearing out her heart, Doukou decided to divorce the scholar and live quietly on her own.
Unfortunately...
The scholar was as sweet as honey, yet he denied her freedom, hoping to enjoy the blessings of having two wives.
With no one to rely on, getting a divorce was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
After much thought, she turned her gaze toward the young prince who could silence the entire court with fear.
After testing the waters a few times, she gave up.
The prince was simply too cold and fierce.
She was afraid, too.
Just as Doukou was about to retreat, the prince stopped her.
His eyes were deep, and his expression was cold enough to scrape ice.
“What have you decided?”
Doukou was almost trapped in his arms.
She trembled.
She had no idea the prince was hard, too.
As hard as the blade in his hand.
The heroine grows over the course of the story; everyday life
Theme: No matter the circumstances, the heroine can support herself and keep living with a positive spirit
Why do I feel like the writing style in the last few pictures is different from the beginning?
The old routine of drugging doesn't matter. The problem is that a bunch of people in the male protagonist's family have invited a doctor. In such a busy time, the servants don't come forward to support the male protagonist and serve him. The maids at the door will listen to the instructions of a princess who has no relationship with the male protagonist Mao, and stay away from them to facilitate their sexual relations. This is too exaggerated. Does your status as a princess allow you to take charge of other people's houses?
In fact, the author's writing is quite good, but I think the handling of emotional issues is still a little childish. For example, in terms of the male protagonist's feelings towards the Wang family, the emotion of jealousy may not be handled very well. I wanted to comment earlier, but now I can't help myself. It's not a joke (the male and female protagonists are cute!?)
I should call him Senior Brother, Senior Brother is weird.
In fact, I don't know whether I should doubt the male protagonist. After all, the last time the female protagonist looked back at him after kissing him and ran away, the expression on his face was unreal. At that time, I had doubts. A man's heart has been tempered to an unfathomable depth after ten years of ups and downs in the officialdom, and the city is also difficult to calculate. Plus today's incident, how can I know that he is not a clever man? If he is not the male protagonist, he let the female protagonist go, and then accompanied the little girl to buy rouge. When he saw the female protagonist. Come and give me a hug and explain, the heroine's face softened. I think this is the beginning of revenge. Although there is no need for an official to argue with the little widow, but who knows... If the hero is staying well in the capital, but suddenly one day the emperor assigns a task to return to his hometown, and then sees the heroine remembering the sweetheart who was coldly abandoned when she was poor and could not keep her, wouldn't she hate it?
Why are there still twists and turns in getting to the capital? Can you always be sweet? Worry about the heroine
Ah, finally, Tiantiantian
It's so difficult to be together smoothly and happily. It's so annoying to deal with these nonsense.
