The Embroidered Uniform Guard Will Marry Only Me

Yun Zhiyu is a poor relation living under the roof of the Ding'an Marquis household. No matter how cautious she is, she is still pushed out of the manor.

She struggles to get by, never knowing where her next meal will come from. To fill her stomach, she disguises herself as a man and takes a menial job at the Imperial Guard's office.

On her first day at the Northern Office, she is assigned to serve the daily needs of the Embroidered Uniform Guard Pei Lun.

"Zhiyu! Help me mend my clothes!"

"Zhiyu! I want some of the pastries you made!"

One day, she is framed as a rebel and taken to the Western Depot, where she is tortured. To save herself, she has no choice but to marry a eunuch as his companion.

But on the wedding day, warm blood splatters across her face.

The eunuch's head is cut off with a single stroke and rolls to Zhiyu's feet.

An Embroidered Uniform Guard in a flying-fish-patterned robe approaches her step by step, holding a Xiuchun saber. Pei Lun smiles as he looks at her, his tone leisurely.

"Little girl, are you still going to keep pretending?"

--

Ever since the first time Zhiyu met Pei Lun, she had felt that this smiling Embroidered Uniform Guard wasn't all that scary.

Pei Lun found it amusing. "Why aren't you afraid of me?"

Zhiyu thought seriously for a moment. "Maybe because I like you."

Pei Lun was stunned for a long while. Then he laughed.

"Come on, come back with me. No one's been making me pastries while you've been gone."

"But doing odd jobs is exhausting. I don't want to do it anymore..."

"Then what do you want to do? Be my wife?"

"...?"
