For the sake of her grandfather's last wish, Tang Ruirui took the marriage contract he had arranged for her years ago and traveled all the way from Tangjia Village to the capital to find her fiancé.
Her fiancé came from a prestigious family: the Xuan Yang Marquis's household.
When she arrived at the marquis's residence, the head of the Wei family confirmed the contract and immediately promised that the couple would marry once her fiancé returned from his official duties.
When Madam Wei heard the news, she rushed over and made a scene, crying out indignantly, "My son is a refined, dignified top scholar! How could he possibly be matched with some country girl?"
Tang Ruirui puffed out her cheeks in displeasure. She put a little too much strength into her hand and accidentally snapped off a corner of the table.
Seeing this, Madam Wei trembled with even greater fury. "How unruly!"
Then she rolled her eyes and fainted.
Tang Ruirui thought to herself: If they don't want me here, I might as well take some travel money and leave.
But the head of the Wei family was a man of his word and refused outright.
Tang Ruirui eventually ran out of money, so she had no choice but to stay.
When her fiancé finally returned, she pushed open his window that very night.
Leaning over the window frame, she poked her head inside and blinked her big eyes. "I know you don't want to marry me. Give me some money, and I'll run away from the marriage."
Pei Hongyue, seated at his desk, saw her and froze for a moment before giving a soft laugh. "But, miss, my father was afraid I'd run away from the wedding, so he's confiscated all my money."
Tang Ruirui stared at him in dismay. "Then what do we do?"
"Why don't you give me a few days to think of a solution?"
Pei Hongyue was handsome and refined, with the bearing of a gentleman, so Tang Ruirui naturally believed him.
But by the time she was sitting on the wedding bed, Pei Hongyue still hadn't come up with a solution!
*
After they married, whenever Pei Hongyue received his monthly salary, Tang Ruirui would ask him for travel money.
But that month, he said, "I took you to an all-you-can-eat whole-lamb feast yesterday, and spent it all."
The next month, he said, "I bought you a weapon today. That used it all up."
The month after that, he said, "You injured the young master of the Li family, so I spent my entire monthly salary paying compensation!"
Liar!
She had clearly seen him leave court with an unusually cold expression and head straight to the Li residence.
The next day, the Li family's young master arrived at the marquis's residence with a bruised and swollen face to apologize to her.
One-on-one romance, sweet and indulgent, with a cheerful tone.
Romance-focused, with only a little plot.
