I Went on a Blind Date with a Brocade Guard

Please add my upcoming novel, Marrying the Old Man from the Marquis's Household, to your reading list~ Lu Qingsang's first impression of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was that they were the emperor's vicious lackeys: mysterious, cold, and ruthless. In short, they were no good. Especially since her original body's father had been tortured to death after being seized by the Embroidered Uniform Guard and thrown into the Imperial Prison. As soon as Lu Qingsang transmigrated, she became a pitiful little cabbage living under her uncle's roof. But the truth is, was their job just running errands? They had to serve as the emperor's bodyguards, repair roads, clear waterways, raise elephants, and even... flirt with women? As a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Pei Yan worked tirelessly, helping the orphaned Lu Qingsang harvest wheat, feed pigs, raise chickens, and open a shop... What a fine official, always standing up for the people. Lu Qingsang was so moved she could hardly contain herself. Lu Qingsang: "I have no way to repay you, except..." Pei Yan: "Hey, young lady, you are all alone and in a sorry state, so I lent you a hand. I'm an honorable man. I would never use a favor to demand repayment. Please, don't say another word." Lu Qingsang: I only wanted to invite him to dinner. Shepherd's purse wontons, stir-fried rice cakes with shredded pork, steamed crab, clay pot tofu, and fermented rice dumplings. They shared one meal after another, until Pei Yan thought that spending the rest of his life eating like this wouldn't be so bad. Later, the road to winning his wife back stretched on and on, and Pei Yan regretted it bitterly. If only he'd accepted the young lady's proposal back then. Lu Qingsang: Wait, did I ever propose to you? A heroine who works hard at her career and just wants to shine on her own VS the legendary, flamboyant and domineering young Embroidered Uniform Guard officer Blurb for Marrying the Old Man from the Marquis's Household Yang Mo was born into poverty and sold as a child to work as a singing and dancing girl in the Princess of Gaochang's household. By the age of fifteen, she had blossomed into a beauty with a lotus-like face and a willow-slim waist. The Princess of Gaochang saw her as a valuable asset and planned to send her to the palace as a concubine. On the eve of her departure for the palace, Yang Mo had a dream. She dreamed that she entered the palace and won the emperor's favor, giving birth to his eldest son. But before she could enjoy her wealth and glory, the empress dowager took her son away, then bestowed a cup of poisoned wine upon her, sending her to her death. To escape the tragic fate in her dream, Yang Mo turned her attention to Xiao Yu, the Marquis of Pingyang, who was temporarily staying at the princess's estate... Xiao Yu was the emperor's cousin and had always loathed women, especially singing and dancing girls who used their beauty to serve men. When Yang Mo, who looked like a fox spirit, barged into his room, Xiao Yu didn't want to keep such a nuisance around and planned to throw her out. Yang Mo sobbed and pleaded, doing her best to move the cold-faced God of War. "I am willing to serve the marquis. Please take me in." Xiao Yu suddenly felt an unbearable headache and couldn't speak. The more Yang Mo begged, the worse his headache became. In the end, he had no choice but to nod and let her stay. Only later did Xiao Yu realize what kind of trouble he had taken in. She was too precious to scold or discipline, so delicate that he treasured her dearly. Note: 1.
