My Handsome Scholar Husband

Bai Xiaoxiao was pressured by the authorities to marry, so she gave up and brought a beggar home to marry him. She didn't expect him to be a pedantic scholar who loved quoting books, but as long as she didn't have to marry Lai Tou, the lame guy from the village, that was fine.

The poor scholar had passed the imperial exams with top honors, but was demoted to a remote backwater county after offending the emperor with his honest remonstrance. On his way to take up his post, he ran into bandits and had no choice but to beg all the way there. In the end, he collapsed from hunger by the roadside and was rescued by a farm girl. With no way to repay her, he was forced to offer himself in marriage.
