Mr. Protocol and Miss Pull-Tab

share time: 2026-01-19 12:34:23

Su Wan, a down-and-out noble lady, was rejected by the Duke's Mansion because of her straightforward personality, earning the nickname "Miss Pull-Tab"—people mocked her for being "too easy to 'pull open'" and lacking the dignity of a lady. Unexpectedly, an imperial decree betrothed her to Gu Zhao, the adopted son of the Cabinet Prime Minister—known as "Mr. Protocol" in the capital, who did everything by plan, even the angle of his frown seemed calculated. She thought she'd marry a cold "living abacus," but gradually discovered his tenderness: he'd hand her warm ginger tea when she was ridiculed, secretly uncover the truth behind her rejection, and even use his "protocols" to shield her from all plots when powerful officials framed her. When she used her straightforward nature to help him crack the court's schemes, Gu Zhao smiled with red eyes: "I calculated everything in the world, except one thing—I'd fall for you, this 'Pull-Tab.'" With court reversals and affection hidden in protocols, this "unplanned" marriage turned out to be the sweetest accident.
