Xiaoman, who grew up in the countryside, returns to the Minister's residence. Her legal mother wants to make up for all the years she missed and is determined to find her a good match.
But Xiaoman turns down the capital's most dazzling top scholar and falls for Chen Ling'an, a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Chen Ling'an oversees the imperial prison. He is ruthless and willful, a master at fabricating charges, and a wicked official everyone fears and despises.
Her legal mother fears she'll be deceived, her father is furious that she'll damage the family's reputation, and her sisters mock her, saying a country bumpkin can't appreciate fine things.
Everyone is waiting to see her come to a miserable end.
Xiaoman doesn't care what anyone says. She's happy to follow Chen Ling'an around every day: when he fights, she hands him a blade; when he arrests people, she cheers him on.
She even gets into a fight in front of the emperor to defend him.
Even Chen Ling'an can't stand it. "There's no need. I've heard countless far more vicious things. I stopped caring long ago."
The girl cries as she says, "I care!"
For once, the usually calm and composed Chen Ling'an is flustered.
When word reaches Xiaoman that Chen Ling'an has offended the emperor and been exiled to the northern frontier,
she finds him with a little bundle slung over her shoulder. She's terrified, but still tries to comfort him: "Don't be scared. I've saved up lots of silver. I can definitely support you!"
Chen Ling'an: "...Is it possible that I've been appointed governor of the frontier?"

Before he turned twenty, he thought he might as well die once he had avenged himself. After twenty, he wanted to live well.
He thought the rest of his life would be utterly dull, but she made it bright and passionate.

Coming Soon 1: The Warden's Beauty
In a dark, damp torture chamber, Chun Ning is tied to a rack, blindfolded, and numb as she repeats her confession again and again.
"My name is Yu Chunning. I am eighteen. My creditor, Master Zhao, tried to assault me, and I accidentally killed him. As I fled, I knocked over a candle stand by mistake, setting off a fire that burned down South Gate Street. I confess. I accept the punishment. I only ask to die quickly."
"Is that all?"
"N-no, that's all..."
"It seems you've forgotten something." A hard bamboo whip lands on her chest, then slowly moves lower.
She can't move and can only endure it. When her body reaches its limit, she trembles and cries. "I truly can't remember. Please, my lord, tell me."
The blindfold is ripped away. Before her is a man's handsome, stern face, with a clear scar at his temple.
Chun Ning knows him: Pei Shaoyu, her fiance. Two years ago, for a reward of one hundred taels of silver, she sold his whereabouts to the authorities.
"You didn't expect me to still be alive, did you? Unfortunately for you, my family's case has been overturned." He leans close to her ear and speaks softly, his voice as gentle as ever. "I won't let you die."
The game has only just begun.

Coming Soon 2: Mistakenly Presented to a Powerful Man as a Skinny Horse
Nan Mei is a merchant's wife of humble background. She and her husband live a poor but loving, peaceful life.
But by a twist of fate, she is mistaken for a skinny horse and sent to the bed of Yuan Zhan, Prince of Dongping.
Her body becomes strange, always acting against her wishes. Every protest and plea for mercy is treated as an act of coy resistance.
When she wakes again, her fair, graceful body is covered in the marks of their frenzied lovemaking.
Only when Yuan Zhan sees her crying and begging to die does he seem to believe that she is already married.
Accustomed to having everyone else curry favor with him, Yuan Zhan now lowers himself to coax Nan Mei into stopping her tears, promising to give her a proper title.
Nan Mei refuses. She only wants to return to her husband and begs Yuan Zhan to keep last night's events a secret.
Yuan Zhan gives an inscrutable smile and agrees.
With Yuan Zhan carefully looking after her every step of the way, Nan Mei manages to find her husband.
But he is dressed in magnificent robes, noble as an immortal, with a refined young lady leaning against his side, every bit as otherworldly as he is.
It turns out her husband is the son of a noble family, and she was no more than a passing amusement for him.
That night, the usually gentle Yuan Zhan becomes especially domineering. "Good girl, cry a little louder."
On the other side of a wall, Xiao Moran's expression is cold, as though he doesn't care in the slightest about the sounds from next door.
But his hand, hidden inside his sleeve, clenches so tightly that the veins stand out, and drops of crimson blood trickle from his palm.
Across from him is Li Zhang, Yuan Zhan's most trusted subordinate. "She won't survive if you take her back. One person in exchange for an entire clan. You won't lose out."
Xiao Moran lowers his eyes, concealing his murderous intent, and quietly says, "Fine."
-
When Nan Mei realizes that everything was Yuan Zhan's deception, all she feels for him is disgust and fear.
After exhausting every scheme, she finally returns to her husband. She thinks it's all behind her,
but at a palace banquet, that nightmarish man appears before her once more.
In a dark secret chamber, Li Zhang lies dying on a torture rack, covered in blood.
Yuan Zhan grabs Nan Mei and throws her onto him. "How did you seduce him into working for you? Show me."
The next moment, Yuan Zhan grips Nan Mei by the throat and kisses her.
Yuan Zhan taught her every pleasure she knows. Just one kiss is enough to make her lose control with desire.
"How long has it been since you felt this good...? What can they do that I can't?"
"Why don't you love me?"
He hates her for not loving him,
and hates himself even more for being unable to leave her.

So it was in the book about Xiao Man's daily life that the male protagonist was allergic to soybeans, and Liu saw it.
Hahahahaha, I was sad with you, but when I read the last sentence, I laughed unconsciously.

Dear author, can the layout of the books in this author column be improved? When I click on your column, I have to scroll down for a long time to find this book in the cracks. This book is very beautiful. Can you put it in the front? There are also books that are both 25 years old and are listed behind the advance collection.
I never thought this book would be so unpopular. I feel it is one of the best books I have read this year. It is a perfect book in every aspect and makes people feel good after reading it. In the past two years, it has been difficult to find a 1v1 book where the male and female protagonists go both ways. I am very grateful to the author for his great output.
What my sister has experienced is too cruel. I can only forget it and don't think about it. It's too painful.
Chen Ling'an is so lucky to have met Xiao Man. You must cherish it.
That's great. My sister deserves a better life. Girls just want to live brightly!
