Summary
My aunt thinks my cousin’s delicate sweetheart is too frail to survive long. In a fit of spite, he points at me instead: Xie Ruyi cannot be drowned or thrown from a horse, so surely I am lucky enough to marry. While he imagines I have spent years waiting for him, my aunt decides the fool is unworthy of either young woman. Once I pass the Court of Judicial Review’s examination, she will find me a husband willing to marry into my household. I do not have the heart to tell her I have already chosen one—though the handsome man in question still thinks I am poor and claims he needs time to consider.
