Your Heart Is Clear and True, Witnessed by the Sun and Moon

☆☆☆

Guihai Fugeng traveled to the capital to clear his younger brother's name after he was wrongly accused of murder. Someone framed him and spread rumors that he was involved with the famously ugly daughter of a wealthy family, so her father promptly arranged their marriage.

Beneath her veiled hat was a lovely face, and Guihai Fugeng fell for her at first sight. She, however, felt no affection for him.

He was ordered at short notice to protect her as she went to investigate a traitor in the martial world, and they endured many hardships along the way.

Ye Yanshu had grown up in the martial world, but once she entered the capital, her father insisted that she act like a proper lady.

Later, she became a princess's tutor, while he served as a soldier on the border. Though they were married, they slept in separate beds.

As imperial power slipped away, he fought to help the emperor reclaim it. When her husband was framed and thrown into prison, she risked her life to find a key witness.

A little scene:

"When you're traveling, you should take more precautions." Ye Yanshu met his gaze and felt flustered. She hurriedly lowered her head to look at the medical text in her hands.

"All right, I understand. Tomorrow I'll have all the brothers wear protective face coverings." Seeing Ye Yanshu's evasive look, he felt warm inside.

Blurb:

Mai Yun Zhi opened her bleary eyes and saw three strangers standing before her. Instinctively, she shrank back.

That would have been fine, except her back bumped into something. She turned around and saw that she'd hit Bo Moju's chest, his arm slung around her waist.

Her first thought: Men and women should keep their distance!

Her second thought: Pull his arm away and hide.

Unfortunately, Bo Moju's grip was so strong she couldn't pry it loose. In her panic, she blurted out, "If you keep holding me like this, how am I ever supposed to get married?"

As soon as she said it, even she was taken aback. Wasn't that a little embarrassing? Whatever. She couldn't let a man hold her like this. It would ruin her reputation.

How was she supposed to get married? Bo Moju's expression turned serious. He slowly let go and calmly took a step back. "Have you never seen a man before? You've only seen two, and you're already thinking about getting married?"

He'd twisted her meaning completely. Mai Yun Zhi was baffled. "I... I need to look over every man in the world first. It's too early to decide!"

The important thing now was to find Yuanhe Mountain, inherit her parents' wedding braid, and evade the pursuit of the Three Realms.

Her dark eyes darted around. Could these three strangers have come to kill her? At the thought, Mai Yun Zhi suddenly missed Zhou Guangshan and Shi Shushu.

They were the only ones who would protect her!

How was she going to escape this predicament?

Forget three against one. Even one-on-one, she didn't think she could beat that girl, let alone the other two men.

She felt completely outmatched. What about Bo Moju? He'd saved her before. Should she ask for his help this time?

Having made up her mind, she walked over to Bo Moju and quickly hid behind him.

Bo Moju's stern voice rang in her ear. "Getting this close to me, aren't you worried you'll never get married?"

Mai Yun Zhi scratched her head awkwardly. What mattered more, her life or her reputation?

It only took her a moment to decide. If she was about to die, what use was her reputation?

Besides, Bo Moju didn't look like a womanizer. When she'd passed out before, or when he'd taken her to the deserted courtyard, he could have taken advantage of her.

But he hadn't.

So she chose to trust him. "Worst case, I'll marry you. That's still better than getting killed by them!"

Mai Yun Zhi certainly knew how to say something startling. Bo Moju was so stunned that he choked on his own saliva and coughed until his face turned red.

"Just because you want to marry me, does that mean I'll marry you?" Bo Moju's expression darkened.

Much later, a certain someone asked, "When will you finally agree to marry me?"
