The Poisoned Maiden Becomes a Queen

Wen Ling had lived for eighteen years. Other girls her age had already married and had children, but she was the emperor’s specially appointed Minle County Princess, doted on by her grandmother, the old Duchess of Sui, cherished by her carefree father, the Marquis of Jinning, and protected by her fiercely devoted, sister-obsessed mother and younger brother. Yet somehow, she had become an older unmarried woman no one dared to wed. At long last, she finally secured a match, only to have it called off less than a month later. Was it really such a big deal that she had learned a little martial arts from the late old Duke of Sui and visited the battlefield a few times? Fine. Since no one else appreciated her, she thought the poor scholar at the end of the street looked just right for her. She had power, influence, and money, so supporting a scholar would be no trouble at all. But this “poor scholar” was supposed to be poor. Where did you get all those expensive luxuries???
