Eloping with the Aloof Prefect (Infrastructure)

[Straightforward Young Lady x Cool and Reserved Prefect]

Geologist Xu Qinghui transmigrated.

As soon as she arrived, she knocked the newly appointed prefect, Shen Huaichuan, into a bandit den as he passed by. Talk about a ridiculous turn of events!

After escaping danger, she was confronted with the Yangtze bursting its banks and the people suffering from famine. What now?

What else? Roll up her sleeves and get to work!

Starting with dredging the waterways, then repairing the dikes, building water-control projects, and planting rice,

Xu Qinghui successfully resolved the floods and famine in Qingchuan Prefecture.

One day, Xu Qinghui discovered that she was actually the notorious eldest daughter of the Xu family in Qingchuan.

She had also been unable to win the love of Qingchuan Prefecture's most handsome man, Pei Biehe, and had run away from home. She had yet to return.

Faced with her parents and brothers, all weeping and sniffling, Xu Qinghui instinctively took half a step back, utterly bewildered.

Shen Huaichuan, the newly appointed prefect of Qingchuan, said coolly, "Oh, is that so? The most handsome man? A love that went unrequited?"

The prefect maintained an air of nonchalance, yet while passing by, he accidentally chopped down the bamboo grove that Young Master Pei treasured most.

The next day, Prefect Shen rode through the streets in full finery, causing a sensation throughout the city and claiming first place on Qingchuan Prefecture's list of handsome men.

Maintaining his composure, Shen Huaichuan gradually closed in on Xu Qinghui as she studied ways to improve flood control. He thought:

"The title of most handsome man is mine."

"And so is she."

This is a story about growing up, responsibility, and love. At its heart, it is a warm, healing story.

Let's see how Xu Qinghui and Shen Huaichuan work together to manage floods, resolve famine and plague, suppress banditry, and clean up the administration, building a better Qingchuan together!

P.S.:

1. This is the author's first book. Even the author can't bear to look back at it, so readers, proceed with caution.

2. In my personal setting, the heroine dreamed of the hero before she transmigrated. The reason she transmigrated and the reason she dreamed of him will be revealed later.

3. The romance only gets started thanks to the hero convincing himself that she likes him. The heroine is a little angel who brings healing.

Theme: A gentleman must cultivate himself and serve the people.
