[Born with a Deathly Aura] [Young Powerful Minister Male Lead] [Romantic Rivalry Showdown]
A shrewd little rich woman x a self-important palace graduate
Huo Jiao, the young proprietress of a bookshop in Yongning Town, followed her husband, Xie Hengzhi, to the capital after he placed first in the palace examination and entered government service.
Though Xie Hengzhi came from a poor family, he was handsome, calm, and reliable, everything Huo Jiao liked.
She had heard that her husband had relatives in the capital.
Huo Jiao asked him, “Why don't you keep in touch with them?”
Xie Hengzhi's eyes darkened. After a long pause, he sneered, “A distant cousin three thousand miles away? Better not to see them.”
After much searching, Huo Jiao discovered that her husband had already reunited with his relatives, who turned out to be members of a distinguished family.
By chance, she was behind a screen when she heard the lady of the house eagerly ask him whether he was married.
Xie Hengzhi replied, “Not yet.”
Huo Jiao smiled helplessly.
She thought of how, for the past month or so since their wedding, Xie Hengzhi had kept her a secret from others. She also thought of the noble-born women his colleagues had recently married.
It would be better to step aside of her own accord and leave with some dignity.
So she suggested a divorce: “You and I are worlds apart. Our marriage contract is void.”

Xie Hengzhi didn't dare let Huo Jiao meet other people.
Because he was the unlucky real young master whose face and identity had been stolen by an impostor.
As the real young master in a comparison plot, he was unloved by his mother and ignored by his sister. His life was a disaster from the start.
The fake young master stole his identity, turning him from an arrogant, domineering young man in the capital into a poor scholar in a backwater village, begging with a broken bowl.
His mother reasoned with him: “He may be a fake young master, but he's been truly devoted to me. Can't you just let him have his way?”
His sister took the fake young master's hand. “My older brother used to be a stubborn mule with a sharp tongue, but now he gives in to me in everything. I like the brother I have now!”
Only his wife, Huo Jiao, took his side and stood up for him in front of everyone. “He's the best person there is. He's never done anything wrong.”
The problem was, the fake young master was the one originally promised to his wife.

Note: Set in an alternate Northern Song dynasty. A bittersweet romance with plenty of push and pull, one-on-one, both leads' first love, and unwavering devotion and mutual affection.
The heroine was originally engaged to the second male lead.
When the hero and the second male lead switched identities, she became the hero's wife.
Theme: A face doesn't matter. What matters is being a good person.
He obviously said that he was Huo Jiao's man, but when he heard that his mother was injured, he turned around and went back. So what was he talking about before, was he farting? What a useless male protagonist. Don't make promises if you can't do it. Huo Jiao saved his life, but he was betraying his life like this. He still had to warm his face and put his cold butt. Wasn't he still awake when his mother kicked him out of the house? His mother was right when she said he was indecisive.
It's great. This Lan Er is so annoying. I'm so angry.
The useless couple 😂 Sure enough, two people can't sleep in one bed
"She tied up the broken hair for him," and "caught a big bug for the author~"
So far, the male and female protagonists have never won a verbal battle.
Oh my god, this is going to happen, the male protagonist will be the emperor 🐶
God, I am shocked by this life experience
I knew that the hero's mother must have hidden secrets about her life. It's a pity that she was offline too early. Otherwise, I would definitely regret knowing that I personally ruined a better family background.
God, Mrs. Lan was thinking about her family's business until she died. Fortunately our heroine is so good 💜
No, the heroine keeps such a person with her? Too idealistic and unrealistic
