Lady Han Is Not to Be Trifled With

Han Miao, the daughter of a distinguished family, lost one loved one after another when her father was framed and killed, leaving her an orphan.

To clear her father's name, she followed a mysterious person's instructions and became engaged to Lu You, the eldest son of Duke Su.

But Young Master Lu claimed he suffered from a hidden ailment and wanted to break off the engagement.

Han Miao: "I heard you've been searching for the woman you met on the Luo River two years ago, and would rather claim to suffer from a hidden ailment than marry anyone else?"

Lu You: "If you know that, why are you still so determined to marry me?"

Han Miao replied calmly, "I'm the woman you're looking for."

After hearing Han Miao's explanation, Young Master Lu accepted the marriage with some reservations, wanting to see what she was really after.

But he never expected that after only half a year living with her, he would fall for her without even realizing it.

Later, when he was deeply in love, Han Miao asked him, "If I weren't the woman you met back then, would you still feel the same way?"

"Yes," he answered without hesitation.

Watch as a noblewoman who can be both sweet and sharp tames her proud husband, outwits the scheming green tea, and uses the influence of the women in the household to root out corrupt villains, clear her father's name, and live life to the fullest.

(One-on-one, both are each other's first, doting romance.

The male lead seems like a wild dog but is actually a loyal puppy. The female lead is composed and clever, though sometimes a bit of a drama queen.

A warm, slow-paced story with plenty of everyday family life, and no angst in the leads' romance.)

My historical mystery novel, Detective Qingyun, is currently updating. Feel free to visit my author page!

Blurb:

Yun Xiangying was born into a merchant family and lost her parents when she was young. From the age of eight, she was raised in her uncle's home.

She grew up playing with her cousins. She was no good at needlework, but good at riding and archery. She had no interest in poetry or song, only criminal cases and solving mysteries.

After coming of age, she followed her elders' wishes and learned the manners expected of a young lady. In less than two years, she blossomed into a graceful young woman, lovely as a flower reflected in water, with a delicate beauty. All that remained was to find a husband of equal standing and spend the rest of her life in peace.

But then her uncle, who had treated her like his own daughter, was suddenly implicated in a murder case, imprisoned, and left facing execution. Her aunt fell ill, and her cousin was taken prisoner.

With no way to appeal, she had no choice but to seek help from the emperor's trusted confidant, the Marquis of Xinling, Bu Che, whom she had met only twice.

Just after her uncle's case was resolved, she learned that her father's death had not been an accidental bandit attack. Someone had deliberately slaughtered his party to cover up a crime.

She swore to uncover the truth and avenge her father. But her enemy was a member of the imperial family, and she was just a merchant's daughter. It would be like an insect trying to stop a chariot.

Just as she was at a loss, Bu Che's tall and handsome figure appeared before her. "I have been ordered by the emperor to travel incognito and inspect the provinces. I am still in need of a wife to accompany me.

"If you are willing, I can help you achieve your goal."

Oh, they would pretend to be husband and wife while traveling incognito. Yun Xiangying thought for a moment. "Can I investigate cases?"

"Yes."

"Any case at all?"

"Yes."

She nodded eagerly. "How long will we travel together?"

His deep, resolute voice seemed to carry a hidden meaning. "All the way to the end."

A few notes:

1. One-on-one, both are each other's first.

2. A mystery-solving episodic story centered on investigations. The leads fall in love over time as they solve cases together.

3. The setting is fictional, with some institutions modeled on the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties. The plot is made up, and there are many invented details, so please don't nitpick the history. Thank you!

My author page also has these completed modern romances:

1. Deep Devotion: A groveling romance, happy ending.

2. Crimson Passion: A bickering couple who go from arguing to falling in love, and develop feelings over time.

3. The Promise of the Sea and the Gull: A rogue reforms.

Theme: True love lets people trust and bring out the best in each other.
