A Joyous Marriage to a Sickly Heir

A tough, clever, beauty-loving heroine x a sickly, insecure, calculating hero

Blurb One (Romance)

Lu Wan had been engaged to Chu Yan, heir to the Marquis of Pingyang, since childhood. But she swore that her feelings for Chu Yan were as clear as the sun and moon: he was an elder brother, family, and a teacher.

Just not a husband.

The married life Lu Wan imagined involved supporting and caring for each other. She thought it over, nodded, and decided she could do that.

So when Chu Yan was badly wounded and fell unconscious, she married him. Wasn't she just taking care of a patient? The young master had done so much for her family. What was wrong with repaying him?

After they married, Lu Wan found that her life was not quite what she had imagined.

It seemed she didn't need to wait on her patient hand and foot as she had expected.

And her husband didn't seem to be the upright young gentleman she had imagined. Why was he so delicate?

Also, it seemed the young master was rather handsome.

As someone who loved good looks, Lu Wan had to admit that her heart was fluttering. After all, who could resist a beauty?

Then one day, the young master left without a word, and Lu Wan realized that perhaps she didn't just like his looks.

Blurb Two (Career)

Lu Wan had been engaged to the heir of the Marquis of Pingyang since childhood. In order to curry favor with him, her family had her study things that other girls were not allowed to learn, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, history, and geography.

Lu Wan liked those subjects, but never understood what use they could be.

Until the young master left without a word, and she became a witness caught up in a mysterious case in the capital all on her own.

Lu Wan had no choice but to navigate the different factions. As she unraveled the clues, she finally understood what all her studies were for.

She thought that all women in the world should be this way, and should not have to be confined to a cramped attic.
