I Won Over the Frail Young Lord

Before meeting Qin Lin, Xu Zhen had only one goal: to live and learn for as long as she could. The meaning of Xu Zhen’s existence was simple: to survive. * After meeting Qin Lin, Xu Zhen’s goal became to bully him mercilessly. Her reason for living became finding every possible way to make Qin Lin cry. * Scene One In Lincheng, Xu Zhen had a fine reputation as a quiet, demure young lady. But on her second day in the capital, she ruined the good name she’d built over seventeen years. She publicly grabbed the sleeve of the young Marquis Qin and asked, “How much would your family take to sell you to me?” Young Marquis Qin had been frail since childhood. He couldn’t withstand such a shock, and promptly collapsed. After several days of recuperating at home, he still hadn’t recovered. From then on, Xu Zhen became known as a violent firecracker. Scene Two Xu Zhen had someone drag Qin Lin into a secluded corner. “My name is Xu Zhen. Xu, as in two people walking together; Zhen, the character made of ‘wood’ and ‘upright.’” Xu Zhen held tightly to Qin Lin’s sleeve and introduced herself very calmly. Qin Lin blinked twice to indicate that he’d been kidnapped. “Your turn.” Qin Lin immediately said, “My name is Qin Lin.” Xu Zhen nodded expressionlessly. “Mm, good!” Then Qin Lin was taken back to where he’d been held. Qin Lin: What in the world? Who is this woman? Is she crazy? Scene Three Xu Zhen: Can I kiss you? Qin Lin: No... Before he could finish, Qin Lin’s mouth was sealed with a kiss. He was having a really hard time. After the kiss. Xu Zhen: Be good. I’ll come see you another day. Qin Lin: ... That’s exactly what a freeloader does when they get something for nothing!!!! * The heroine is a poker-faced cutie; the hero is a lovesick darling. One-on-one romance. Content warnings: The heroine transmigrates into a book; the hero is reborn.
