The Abandoned Husband's Road to the Imperial Exams

Xie Yan had just rescued his family's business from the brink of bankruptcy when a flowerpot fell from the sky and killed him.

With his last breath, Xie Yan cursed the heartless person who kept flowers up high without installing a railing, then died full of grievance.

When Xie Yan opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated to ancient times. He was now a poor scholar who panted after every few steps, had just been unilaterally divorced by his wife, and had a baby who cried loud enough to shake the heavens.

Taking his present circumstances and those of the original owner into account, Xie Yan eventually set out on the imperial examination path with the child.

Later, after the newly crowned top scholar received special permission from the emperor to parade through the streets on horseback with the child, he ran into the returning female general Shen Jinge.

Shen Jinge: Come back with me.

Xie Yan sat motionless on his horse, thinking: What the hell are you dreaming about?

Shen Jinge: Tie him up and bring him back. If the emperor asks, tell him this general wants him.

Xie Yan: You don't need to tie me up. I'll go on my own. But you can have my body, not my heart!

Shen Jinge: Go in peace. Why would this general want your broken-down body or your fickle heart?

Xie Yan, who had already prepared to guard his heart but not his virtue: ...

1. Sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, frail, beautiful, talented, and wealthy male lead VS female lead who cares for the world and is decisive in battle

2. Set in a fictional world

3. The male and female leads focus on their careers, with romance as a secondary plot. One-on-one pairing.
