The Groom Hunt

This is a short story and will be finished soon. My new novel is already underway, so please support it! Description: Xie Mingzhu is widely regarded as the most beautiful woman in the capital. She's a true pearl, so beautiful that flowers would blush and the moon hide, with skin like ice and bones like jade. But Mingzhu is seventeen, and she hasn't had a single marriage proposal. It's not for lack of trying. People say she's fierce and uncouth, and nobody dares ask for her hand. As she gets older and her mother keeps pressuring her, Mingzhu grows desperate. She climbs over her family's wall and goes husband-hunting under cover of night. Lu Changfeng is riding past a home with tall walls when a pretty young woman suddenly climbs over them. Her eyes light up like a wolf's the moment she sees him, and without a word, she throws herself at him and clings to his leg. "Marry me!" After learning who the man she'd grabbed that night really was, Mingzhu avoids him whenever she sees him. One day, Lu Changfeng stops her. Mingzhu darts her eyes away. "It was dark. I couldn't see you clearly..." Lu Changfeng's handsome face turns frighteningly grim. "You dare deny what you did?"
