[Sharp-tongued amateur historian and bookshop owner × refined, scheming agricultural science professor]
Original title: Who Says Amateur Scholars Can't Be Trusted | Marriage before love | Bickering couple | Secret identities exposed | Wealthy family in the capital
Yang Xian is a renowned verbal sparring champion in historical circles, famous for silencing anyone who dares disagree.
But in academia, some people dismiss her as an amateur scholar.
Recently, her post, "On Yu Yan's Evil Deeds During the Late Qing Floods," brought the real descendant of that "unscrupulous merchant" out of the woodwork.
The man was immaculately dressed in a suit, and his eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses were gentle and refined. Yet his words left no room for compromise: "Miss Yang, I believe we need to discuss your baseless accusations against my ancestor."
Yang Xian: Oh, look. Someone's taking this seriously.

Yu Xianchuan is the second son of a wealthy family in the capital, A University's widely recognized gentle heartthrob, and a rising academic authority.
The rare moment he lost his composure came during a sensitive period when the Yu family's overseas business was in trouble, after he discovered a female amateur scholar online making outrageous slanderous claims about the ancestor he revered most.
He wrote a sprawling 27-page paper, intending to use academic standards to teach her a lesson.
Instead, he failed to deal with the amateur scholar and was first hauled off by his grandfather to a matchmaking meeting.
At the Yu family villa, their eyes met.
Yang Xian, raising an eyebrow: ...Professor Yu, you again?
Yu Xianchuan, smiling as he adjusts his glasses: Boss Yang, fate has brought us together.

To fulfill Old Master Yu's "dying wish," they sign a marriage agreement, and a chaotic joint investigation begins.
Yu Xianchuan is rigorous and meticulous, able to spot the smallest clues; Yang Xian opens doors with her connections and moves through every situation with ease.
But gradually, Yang Xian notices that Yu Xianchuan's act in front of their friends and family is getting more and more outrageous:
"I peeled you an apple. Take your time eating it."
"I'll go whale-watching in Country I with Dad this weekend."
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't stay up late."
Once, he even argued fiercely with a leading academic figure for her sake, openly falling out with him.

On the eve of confronting the mastermind behind the Yu Yan case, Yu finally looks a little weary. Sitting on the sofa in a thin white shirt, he looks up at her. "If we lose, I really don't know what they'll do to us."
Yang Xian leans over with a mischievous smile and lifts his chin. "I'll support you."
As soon as the words leave her mouth, he catches her mischievous hand and draws her into his arms.
His soft laugh brushes her ear. "So Teacher Yang won't have to work so hard... I suppose I'll just have to make sure they lose."

4. The full term for "amateur scholar" is an amateur science enthusiast or amateur scientist. In the novel, biased characters call the heroine an "amateur scholar" because she lacks formal training, and use it contemptuously. In reality, although the heroine did not major in history, she uses rigorous research methods and has a strong commitment to finding the truth, which is closer to the word's original, neutral meaning.
