I Became My Archrival's Wife and Bodyguard

[Updated every other day, either at 18:00 or 21:00]

Because of the emperor's marriage ban, all the great clans suddenly found themselves unable to arrange marriages.

To resist the emperor, the clans first delayed the younger generation's weddings, then acted first and asked permission later, making their children "put the rice in the pot" before petitioning the throne and forcing the emperor to agree.

The daughter of the Taiyuan Wang clan had long had her eye on the legitimate heir of the Fanyang Lu clan. But through a twist of fate,

it was a collateral-branch daughter of the Xingyang Zheng clan who ended up "putting the rice in the pot" with the Lu clan's legitimate heir, with a crowd of onlookers watching in broad daylight.

And so, Zheng Qiuying of the Xingyang Zheng clan's collateral branch married Lu Youling, the true legitimate heir of the Fanyang Lu clan. Everyone said Zheng Qiuying had married well, but nobody saw the Lu heir for who he really was.

Only Zheng Qiuying knew that he was

nothing but a poser.

And yet everyone praised him.

She considered Lu Youling her sworn enemy and wanted a divorce from the very first day of their marriage.

To get away from him, Zheng Qiuying swore to stand on her own two feet and work toward an early divorce.

But who could have guessed that the first step toward independence would be acting as a bodyguard for her husband, a total weakling in a fight?

The male lead is clever but weak in a fight, shrewd, and somewhat self-serving.

The female lead is kind and guileless, forthright and capable, strong in a fight, and inclined to put others first.

The male lead is a vice minister at the Dali Temple. Their relationship and personal growth revolve mainly around a series of cases.

P.S. If you're passing by, please give this new author a follow. I really don't want to keep writing to an empty room, ahhhhh!
