Three Times I Rejected the Tanhua Scholar

Synopsis: A kind and gentle time-traveling woman vs. a sinister ghost of a Tanhua Scholar Shi Jun once felt that Xie Changxi deserved the title of “gentleman” as praised through the ages. This marquis, a Tanhua graduate by origin, was a man of great kindness. Not only did he arrange a proper burial for her younger sister, but he also promised to grant her a clean household registry. For this, Shi Jun stayed by his side, serving him with all her heart, solely to repay his kindness. Once she had saved enough silver and repaid her debt, she returned to Bianjing and raised the matter of releasing her from servitude. That night, beneath the dim flicker of candlelight, Xie Changxi smiled with hidden meaning: “Junniang, I told you before that I would make arrangements for you. Once my cousin marries into the household, I will take you as my concubine.” Shi Jun accepted with joy—then turned around and fled Bianjing. — Gazing upon Shi Jun’s corpse, he caressed her again and again, murmuring at her ear with near-mad obsession. “Junniang, why are you so stubborn.” — Back then, he felt she was like an orchid in a deep valley. He wanted so badly to smooth away her thorns, to knead her into his very bones. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Three Times I Rejected the Tanhua Scholar — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
