Reborn, I Became My Own Stand-In

Lu Zhan, you've fallen into my hands for good! - Lu Zhan, the Grand Academician Lu, came first in all three imperial examinations during the Great Zhou dynasty and entered the Grand Secretariat before turning forty.

He was already in his thirties and refused to marry, and he did everything he could to ruin his third niece's chances of marriage. The elegant, dignified Grand Academician Lu was a man without a single flaw, except in this matter, where he left everyone utterly bewildered!

Only then did everyone have a subtle moment of understanding: an older husband and younger wife, a beauty by his side... So that's what it was! On their wedding night, Lu Qi watched as the man beside her devotedly tied the corners of their clothes together in a knot symbolizing eternal unity. He was as childish as he had been in their youth. She knew then that she had made the right choice! - Important notes: 1. The heroine is not the hero's biological relative. 2. In her previous life, the heroine was ten years older than the hero.
