The Down-and-Out Scholar I Saved Is Actually the Top Scholar Who Wants to Marry Me

The Down-and-Out Scholar I Saved Is Actually the Top Scholar Who Wants to Marry Me Plot:

Lin Xiaotang, an orphan who sells tea on the street, saved Gu Zhao—a dying, down-and-out scholar—on a rainy night three years ago. She lived frugally to support his studies. Now Gu Zhao has become the top scholar in the imperial exam. When he paraded through the street on a horse, he reined in at her tea stall and knelt publicly, declaring he wanted to marry his benefactor. But Lin Xiaotang panicked—she had a secret: when she saved Gu Zhao, she mistakenly gave him her mother’s jade pendant as a token, which turned out to be the personal item of the general’s missing daughter. Meanwhile, the emperor just ordered the top scholar to marry the general’s daughter. Caught between Gu Zhao’s affection and the crisis of mistaken identity, Lin Xiaotang can’t believe the once-starving scholar now wants her as his wife. But what scares her more: is this “gratitude” a misunderstanding, or true love?
