My Wife Is Cold-Hearted

[Complete] Xie Xuanying was born into wealth, beautiful as a jade tree, and gifted in both letters and arms. Later generations summed him up perfectly: Those who could beat him weren’t as learned; those who were as learned weren’t as handsome; and no one as handsome as him had even been born yet. Yet for all the advantages in his life, he faced three setbacks. First, he met the woman he loved but couldn’t marry her. Second, after going through countless hardships, he finally married her, only to find she didn’t love him. Third, she finally fell in love with him, but loved her career even more. Xie Xuanying: My lifelong wish is to win one person’s heart and stay together until our hair turns white. Cheng Danruo: I want cowpox, quinine, and penicillin. The female lead transmigrates and has a golden finger. Partly historically researched (though the research is poor), partly set in an alternate world, with a reasonable amount of wish fulfillment. This novel is scheduled to enter the paid chapters on December 22. There will be three updates that day. Please support the official version. [The female lead’s career progression]: Orphan girl → adopted daughter of a great scholar → female official (from the lowest rank to fourth rank) → Lady of the Third Rank → Lady of the Second Rank → First-Rank Lady → Lady of the State → regent minister → granted a marquisate → remembered in the history books * This is not an invincible, feel-good story about a powerful female lead. It’s a slow-burn coming-of-age story, from an orphan girl to a woman remembered in history. * The female lead is rational by nature, but has emotional hang-ups. Her relationship with the male lead develops gradually, and at first his feelings are unrequited. * The plot has a serious tone and spans many settings. It includes a little court intrigue, political maneuvering, infrastructure, and household life. * Tags may change depending on the rankings and may not necessarily reflect the story’s content. Please be aware. * A blurb can only be so long, and characters and plot can’t be reduced to tags. The above is for reference only. [Reader Notice]: 1. Reading is a subjective experience.
