The Bandit Heir's Exam for Love

Lin Ye, the unruly heir of Qingzhu Mountain's bandit stronghold, accidentally kidnaps Su Wanzhao, a nobleman's daughter, during a heist. Though captive, Su remains unyielding and tells him, "A bandit's life isn't a lifelong home." Smitten, Lin decides to prove himself by taking the imperial exam—trading his sword for a brush, his lair for a shabby study. But when he finally passes the scholar exam, he learns Su is already betrothed to a minister's son, and worse: Su's father is the man who massacred Qingzhu Mountain years ago. Caught between his hard-earned ambition, a blood feud etched in his bones, and the love he can't let go, Lin's choice is bound to be a heart-wrenching ordeal.
