Yin Xiao never expected that the contract she signed, which clearly stated she would work as a personal stylist, would somehow include an unspoken clause requiring her to fend off her client's "suitors."
The trouble was that those "suitors" were all cunning, and one after another accused her of being the other woman, keeping her from focusing on her career.
At her wit's end, she went to her client. "Mr. Lu, I'm not up to this job. Please find someone else.
"Also, please clear up the rumors about our relationship."
"I don't accept unilateral termination of the contract." Lu Xu's lips curled into a smile. "As for our relationship, I do have an idea, but you'll have to play along."
"How?"
"Marry me."
Yin Xiao secretly rolled her eyes. "Anything besides that?"
Lu Xu put an arm around her waist and answered with complete seriousness, "I'll marry you."
And so Yin Xiao fell into Mr. Lu's endless "spoiling my wife" trap, where she would live happily ever after.
(One couple, both pure, sweet romance;
Male lead: A domineering CEO with impeccable manners, plenty of tricks, and severe cleanliness obsessions
Female lead: A beautiful historical-costume designer who is independent, determined, and relentless in pursuing her dreams
The female lead's career and romance progress side by side, with the romance as the main focus.)
My historical mystery series, The Azure Cloud Detective, 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 grew up in her uncle's home.
She spent her childhood playing with her male cousins. She was poor at needlework but skilled at riding and archery. She had no interest in poetry or music, only in solving criminal cases.
After coming of age, she followed her elders' instructions and learned the etiquette expected of a young lady. In less than two years, she had blossomed into a charming, delicate beauty, like a flower reflected in water. All that remained was to find a husband of suitable standing and live out her life in peace.
But then her uncle, who had treated her as his own daughter, was implicated in a murder case, imprisoned, and left facing death. Her aunt fell ill, and her cousin was jailed.
With no way to appeal for help, she had no choice but to turn to the emperor's trusted confidant, Marquis 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 household to silence them.
She swore to uncover the truth and avenge her father, but her enemies were members of the imperial family. Against them, she was a mere merchant, like an insect trying to stop a chariot.
Just as she was at a loss, Bu Che's tall, handsome figure appeared before her. "I have been ordered by the emperor to travel incognito and inspect the provinces. I need a wife to accompany me.
"If you're willing, I can help you get what you want."
Oh, they would pretend to be husband and wife while traveling incognito and investigating. Yun Xiangying considered it for a moment. "Can I investigate cases?"
"Yes."
"Any case at all?"
"Yes."
She nodded happily. "How long will we travel together?"
His deep, resolute voice seemed to hold a deeper meaning. "All the way to the end."
(A few helpful notes:
1. One couple, both pure;
2. A series of mystery-solving cases, focused on investigations. The leads gradually fall in love as they solve cases together.
3. The setting is fictional, with some institutions modeled on the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties. The plot is fictional, and many details are invented, so please don't nitpick the historical accuracy. Thank you!)
