The Favored Lady Chancellor of a Prestigious Family

This is a story of a strong heroine and a strong hero, with plenty of pampering and a one-on-one romance. Both the hero and heroine are physically and emotionally pure! The writing is witty and humorous, so come on in!

She was the most beautiful woman and the most talented scholar in Great Liang. Born into an illustrious family, she was adored by everyone and was the woman every young nobleman in the capital dreamed of marrying!

Ha!

What do you mean, “Ha”?

A gale blew the day she was born and toppled the Xie family’s ancestral home. Two days later, her own mother died; ten days later, even her wet nurse was dead. Half a month after that, she made herself blind. To keep the Xie family’s centuries-old legacy from being ruined, they raised this jinx outside the estate and brought her back to the Marquis’s residence when she was fifteen.

If she hadn’t been known as the most beautiful woman and the most talented scholar, she might have jinxed herself to death as soon as she returned.

Despite her reputation as an ill omen, so many people came to ask for her hand that they wore a path to the Marquis’s door.

After she gracefully jinxed her well-connected stepmother to death, her reputation as a harbinger of misfortune reached its peak, and at last no one wanted her.

Wait, wasn’t the real reason no one wanted her because of a certain someone?!

Move along, don’t interrupt!

He was a rising star in Great Liang. In just two or three years, he rose to the highest halls of government, serving as both a general and a minister. A dazzling talent, he became the youngest chancellor in Great Liang’s history! He was the dream man of countless young women, both noble and common, in the capital.

No one knew that he was actually her: the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Luling, once notorious for both her fame and her ill-omened reputation.

He was the sworn enemy of every corrupt official. He could remonstrate with the emperor and impeach high ministers. The Imperial Censor, he stood on equal footing with the chancellor, and was hated by civil officials and military officers alike, who could do nothing about him.

They clashed like dragons and tigers at court, fought side by side on the battlefield, and played master and pupil at the Imperial Academy. At crime scenes? Somehow, she was always there, like a haunting spirit, yet never left a trace.

Step by step, he unraveled her schemes that could turn the world upside down. Step by step, he uncovered his own true identity, only to discover, to his astonishment, that she was him: the most beautiful woman was the chancellor of the realm!

One step closer and he was hopelessly entangled; one step back and he was deeply in love! Should this Imperial Censor join the female chancellor in her schemes?

I’m no good at writing introductions. In short, it’s a delightful story about two peerless, extraordinary people who fall hopelessly in love while constantly opposing each other, trading jests and barbs, and marching toward their happy wedding night…
