…This Novel's Blurb…

[Older Woman-Younger Man Romance, True Widow Heroine, Mystery Solving]

Across from the county yamen stands a noodle shop.

The shopkeeper is a pretty widow, with a slender waist and skin as fair as snow, her face like a hibiscus blossom.

The newly arrived Magistrate Xue eats at her shop three times a day.

Someone kindly warns him: The last man who tried to flirt with the pretty widow had his leg broken.

Magistrate Xue replies: I'm really just here for the noodles.

One night, a night watchman sees Magistrate Xue leave the noodle shop, limping and holding on to the wall.

When everyone hears about it, they laugh and ask him: Are you still brave enough to go eat there?

Magistrate Xue answers: I am.

That night, Magistrate Xue sneaks up to the widow's door again. I'm here!

The Noodle Shop Beauty laughs: Magistrate Xue, we don't sell noodles at night.

Magistrate Xue scratches his head and says: Open up. I'm here to investigate a case!

Upcoming Novel: The Fake Heiress Returns to Her Hometown to Marry a Village Man

Yuanyuan is the daughter of Assistant Minister Shen. Raised in luxury, she's delicate and frail by nature.

On her sixteenth birthday, her true identity is revealed. She's a fake heiress.

She's sent back to her hometown. Her birth parents are dead, and all she has left is her older brother.

Yuanyuan is too weak to do any hard work, so she stays home eating without contributing. She even burns down the kitchen, earning the scorn of her brother and sister-in-law.

To survive, Yuanyuan picks out a capable husband for herself: Lu Dadan, a village man who makes his living gathering medicinal herbs.

Her sister-in-law tries to arrange the match, but Lu Dadan refuses. "I don't want a wife who won't work, no matter how pretty she is."

Yuanyuan takes matters into her own hands. She puts on her prettiest clothes, carefully gets dressed, and goes to see Lu Dadan.

She smiles at him, blooming like a flower. "Brother Lu, I heard you don't like me?"

Lu Dadan shakes his head. "No."

Yuanyuan lowers her head and wipes away a tear. "Then will you have me?"

Lu Dadan hurries to answer: "Yes."

Theme: Even in darkness, keep justice in your heart and move forward without fear.
