A fallen noble girl decides the only way back up the ladder is to seduce the most arrogant探花郎 in the capital — and discovers he has plans of his own.

A classic ancient-romance setup: a talented but proud new jinshi, a beautiful fallen-aristocrat orphan, and the kind of political marriage of convenience that turns into something neither of them planned. Slow-burn scheming and slow-warming hearts in equal measure. The heroine is dignified without being a pushover.
