A young woman who has just fought her way through the exams crouches outside the Lu family's gate, clutching a battered bundle.
“Please let me marry into your family!” The little scholar grabs her betrothed's skirt, eyes shining. “I'm top of the class in every subject. I guarantee a win!”
Characters:
A fiercely competitive little bookworm x a young lady with maxed-out strength and brains
A feel-good examination story about a man living off his wife while working himself to the bone | An everyday story of mutual pampering and growing together as a married couple
Memorable scene:
The young lady plants her hands on her hips and blocks the bookworm at the door. “As I recall, we got engaged as children because someone mixed up our genders.”
The little scholar lowers her eyes obediently. “Mm-hmm. We were betrothed when we were three. When can I marry into your family, my lady?”
The little scholar clenches her fist. “I'll live off my wife while I work myself to the bone and crush everyone in the exam hall!”
Mother-in-law: “I heard she's top of her class at the academy.”
Father-in-law: “If she can become the top scholar, maybe our whole family will rise with her.”
The young lady: “Why would you want to be a chicken or a dog?”
The little scholar: “Woof!”
The young lady: “You?”
Everyone: She really adores her.
The imperial examination battlefield: After cramming for exams, I cram to win my wife. Don't mess with me, my lady is my ultimate cheat code.
