As a Child Bride, I Encouraged My Husband to Take the Imperial Examination

After working overtime for three days straight, Xia Zhi dies suddenly—only to wake up in an unfamiliar world. The moment she opens her eyes, she learns she has been sold as a child bride, and her “husband” is nothing more than a newborn baby. 

With no dating experience in her previous life, Xia Zhi reluctantly accepts her new role of raising a child. Fortunately, the knowledge she brought with her is more than enough to help the struggling Xie family survive. They may not become wealthy overnight, but they finally have food, stability, and hope. 

Yet as the boy grows, Xia Zhi discovers that her little husband is not as simple as he appears. In front of others, he is gentle, gracious, and scholarly—an elegant young master. But behind closed doors, he carries a chilling darkness, cold and ruthless enough to make anyone’s heart tremble. 

And as the years pass, Xia Zhi notices something unsettling…
The way he looks at her is no longer innocent.
No longer childlike.
But deep, possessive, and impossible to ignore. 

An alternate-world tale of farming life, imperial exams, survival, and a love quietly growing over time.
