Su Yiguang is the undisputed queen among the young ladies of Bianliang.

Dressed in fine silks and riding fine horses, she is dazzling and alluring.

A beauty mark rests at the very center of countless hearts.

But after returning to the capital, her father grew worried.

Every day, he feared his daughter would never find a husband.

At last, he went along with the latest trend.

On the day the exam results were posted, he brought the whole clan out,

without even taking a good look at the man's appearance or family background,

and snatched up the nearest new jinshi with an extraordinary air.

When the Su family saw who they had brought back, they were stunned.

But can someone tell them

why the dignified Prince of Yingchuan had taken the imperial exams?

More importantly, why had he obediently come home with them?

Only when everyone saw the way he held Su Yiguang in the palm of his hand did they finally understand.

[Little Scene]

Everyone said the Su family was both lucky and capable.

The very first time they joined in an event like this, they managed to snatch up a son-in-law like the Prince of Yingchuan.

When Zong Qi heard the rumor, he merely raised an eyebrow. "I let them take me back of my own accord."

My upcoming novel: The Crown Princess

Blurb: One. Princess Xiao Shen'ai of Qinghe has been doted on since childhood. She is willful, reckless, and does whatever she pleases.

She is beautiful and alluring, with features like a painting. A single glance from her can ensnare the hearts of half the young men in Chang'an.

Everyone knows she is beautiful, and everyone knows she is spoiled.

Qi Han, Marquis of Pingliang, is noble by birth and elegant in appearance. At a young age, he has already won great military honors.

He has always treated those who try to approach him with cold indifference.

People thought he was naturally aloof, until they saw him put aside all his sternness for the spoiled princess and treat her with a tenderness that came from the very depths of his heart.

He could hardly wait to dig out his own heart and show it to her.

Two. When Qi Han was young, his father served as a junior official to the Crown Prince and once took him to the Eastern Palace.

There, he saw a little girl nestled in the Crown Prince's arms, a soft little bundle, radiant as the moon.

The sight of her acting so sweetly as she clung to the Crown Prince made him want to lay every treasure in the world at her feet.

Later, Qi Han rose to the highest ranks of government and took sole control of the court, becoming a regent in all but name.

Everyone said Xiao Shen'ai, that pampered flower of privilege, was doomed to a tragic fate. With her spoiled nature, they thought she was sure to come to a bad end.

They all waited to see the joke unfold.

Then one snowy day in Chang'an, at a plum-blossom banquet, the beautifully dressed woman furrowed her brow. "My skirt is dirty."

Still acting spoiled at a time like this? Everyone tensed, waiting for the man to lose his temper.

But the usually dignified and imposing Grand Marshal Qi bent down, brushed an almost imperceptible speck of dirt from his wife's skirt, and gently soothed her. "It's clean now, so it's not dirty anymore."

Only Qi Han knew the truth.

That day in the Eastern Palace, when the little girl looked up at him and softly called him "big brother," it was enough to stay in his heart for a lifetime.

He also remembered the day the young woman cried in front of him, asking whether Shen'ai had become someone nobody wanted.

His heart nearly broke. He wanted to gather her into his arms and tell her over and over in a gentle voice, "Be good. I'm here."
