[A sweet, pretty girl who’s slow to catch on and loves money vs. a cool, scheming male lead who’s a master of tricks]
Baoyue, who came from the modern world, spent fifteen years as the unremarkable third daughter of the Cheng family of the Hanlin Academy. The only one who cared for her was her aunt, who had married into a duke’s household and often invited her to stay.
Her aunt’s son, Cui Yu, was the top scholar in the capital. He passed the palace examination and was named third in the rankings at just sixteen. Baoyue, a poor student, both admired and feared her cold-faced cousin and always sucked up to him.
Baoyue was happily counting the money her cool-headed cousin had helped her earn when she learned in a dream that she was the fake heiress in a novel.
Her fate from here on would be tragic. She’d be left with not a single penny!
Heartbroken, Baoyue quickly packed up her money box and bundles, ready to run away.
Unexpectedly, her cousin, who had just become Grand Secretary, stood in her way, still dressed in his court robes.
“Cousin, I don’t want to keep taking what doesn’t belong to me!”
The refined and aloof Grand Secretary moved his lips, about to speak, when he suddenly heard her thoughts:
[Now I can’t rely on this big shot to help me make money anymore. My heart hurts!]
After a moment of silence, he said coolly, “Leave the box. I earned that money.”
Baoyue was so stunned that she stopped crying. She raised her head, staring at him with wide, sparkling eyes full of disbelief and outrage.
The Grand Secretary of the court wants to steal her hard-earned pocket money! Is there any justice? Any law?
Bonus scene:
A year later, the beautiful young woman lay across the wedding bed, pleading tearfully, “Brother Tinglu, I really like you. I’ve liked you for a long time. I never wanted to marry anyone else...”
The cool, elegant young man gave a quiet, mocking laugh. “Liar.”
Note: One-on-one pairing, both leads are virgins, a light and sweet romance. The heroine is beautiful, naturally adorable, and carefree. The male lead is cool, scheming, and extremely possessive.
