Blurb:

Xi An served in the army for eight years. She finally retired and returned to her hometown, but before she could enjoy even one peaceful day, the villagers came knocking, eager to push her into marriage.

Seeing the calculation and greed in their eyes, she turned around and brought home a battered young husband.

“Marry me, and I'll keep you safe. How does that sound?”

Her young husband was fair and delicate, with a face as lovely as a maiden's. He could leave a whole crowd of relatives speechless, and at home he was sweet-tongued and considerate.

From then on, she earned money for the household while he took care of the home, and together they made their life better and better.

Xi An was delighted. After a few rounds of drinks, she declared with great bravado:

“You're spending the rest of your life here with me, got it? I'll work hard to make money and give you the best life possible.”

Her young husband met her gaze and clasped her hand, his eyes full of tenderness. “All right.”

The subordinate who had finally tracked down his prince collapsed in tears outside the wall.

“Your Highness... Do you realize there's an immense fortune waiting for you to inherit?”

A bold, beautiful woman with the spirit of Hua Mulan x a soft-rice-eating, sweet-faced but scheming young prince

Before she was reborn, Qi Guan Shu was the female head of the Qi Guan family. She was beautiful and refined, and the most sought-after heiress in Yingchuan Prefecture, yet no one could win her hand. She should have chosen a worthy husband to join her family and grow old together.

But at a banquet, the newly acknowledged true son of the prefect's family took a fancy to her. When he couldn't win her hand, he turned his love into hatred and schemed to destroy her family.

When she was reduced to begging in the streets, all her former admirers avoided her. Only the false heir, now the son of a peasant woman, reached out to help her and give her shelter.

After being reborn, Qi Guan Shu thought it over and promptly sent a betrothal offer, determined to marry the false heir.

Yet the false heir, who had stood his ground against the true son and fought him to a standstill, ran away???

·

Gu Yunxi, the prefect's son, was famous far and wide. A closed-door disciple of a great scholar of the age, he had enjoyed years of smooth sailing, living the carefree life of a young man in fine clothes and on horseback.

Who could have guessed that first the true and false heirs would be exposed, making him the son of a peasant woman, and then the richest woman in Yingchuan Prefecture would declare her intention to take him as her husband?

He could do without that fortune!

Gu Yunxi had barely run off when he came across an unparalleled beauty who had been deceived.

She was lovely, as delicate and helpless as duckweed on the water or willow fluff in the wind, utterly pitiful. He had meant to rescue her out of compassion, but she deliberately flirted with him and openly pursued him, stealing his heart one step at a time. Every glance from her lovely eyes brimmed with charm.

Gu Yunxi's gaze remained cool as he urged her to keep her distance, again and again. But when she smiled sweetly at someone else, he finally couldn't hold back. He wrapped an arm around her slender waist and gritted his teeth in displeasure.

After being seduced this far, how could he possibly walk away without marrying her?

Gu Yunxi had always known that the beauty had a fiancé who had run away, the very man responsible for her predicament. He was secretly jealous and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Then, after he passed the imperial exams time and again, Qi Guan Shu finally said she would take him home to meet her father.

He looked at the grand, wealthy mansion before him, the large characters “Qi Guan” on its signboard, and his wife beside him, gazing at him with affection.

The scoundrel was me?

Gu Yunxi: “Were you abandoned, or were you deliberately luring me in?”

Qi Guan Shu's eyes sparkled. “Wouldn't you be happy to save yourself thirty years of hard work, dear husband?”
