The Beauty the Young Marquis Dotes On Is a Black Lotus

He Yao was born into a military family and excelled at riding and archery. With a single sweep of her red-tasseled spear, she could take down ten burly men.

Her fiance had come from Liangzhou. Though poor and down on his luck, he was said to be well-read and gentle as jade, a scholar who couldn't even lift a chicken. Afraid of overstepping, she put on an affected air and pretended to be a refined young lady, spending her days discussing music and literature with him in perfect harmony.

It wasn't until she investigated the stolen pearl from the palace and found herself staring down the insolent, unruly thief from Liangzhou that she realized the thief looked exactly like her delicate fiance!

Yuan Kongshi had stolen everything under heaven and thought stealing hearts would be just as easy. After suffering setback after setback, he finally realized that the young lady of the He family abhorred evil and wished only for peace throughout the land and tranquility for generations to come. So the great thief turned over a new leaf, all to please the young lady he cherished in his heart.
