Reborn: The Magistrate Begs Me to Let Him Off

All she wanted was to be a constable. She flirted with the county magistrate by accident, but who could have guessed the man would be as stubborn as a rock? He kept insisting she take responsibility. As if she’d ever marry him! No chance! He was the emperor’s cousin. After refusing to marry a princess and angering the emperor, he was demoted to a minor county magistrate in Li County. He hid his considerable talents and became the stern magistrate of Iceberg County. She actually dared to kiss him? Hmph. If she kissed him, she had to marry him. That was a truth he had always believed. (This is a one-to-one romance. The hero and heroine are both chaste, and a cute baby will appear later.) Must-read excerpts: Excerpt One “You’ve been staring at this the whole time?” Song Qi asked in disbelief. “Yeah. What else?” Bai Ruonan raised an eyebrow. Song Qi gave a cold snort. “Are you saying I’m not as good-looking as this teacup?” “Cough, cough!” Bai Ruonan choked. Damn it, she’d only wanted to ask how much the teacup cost. Was there really any need for such a misunderstanding? “One copper coin each.” Once Song Qi realized Bai Ruonan really was asking about the teacups, he replied expressionlessly, then walked away without looking back. Excerpt Two “Go on, keep running. Let’s see where you...” “Stop, stop! I’m not running anymore. Tell me, what exactly do you want?” Bai Ruonan gave up. Song Qi smiled. “I don’t want anything. Come back with me and marry me right now.” “Can I have a choice?” “Sure. Either you marry me or I marry you. Pick one.” Song Qi folded his arms. Bai Ruonan suddenly looked up. “Oh! Princess, what brings you here?” Song Qi jumped and looked in the direction Bai Ruonan was pointing, only to see a bare mountain. When he turned around again, Bai Ruonan was nowhere to be seen. Excerpt Four “Daddy, Mommy is always picking on me and spanking my bottom. Waaah!” The little dumpling had come to complain. Song Qi set down his book and put on a serious expression. “Go play outside for a while. Daddy will go stand up for you in just a moment.” “Okay! Daddy’s the best!” The little dumpling hopped off outside. Song Qi turned and headed straight for the bedroom, locking the door behind him. The maids and guards all lowered their heads, three black lines appearing across each of their foreheads.
