The Princess Who Marries for Looks

Everyone in the capital knew that Princess Zhao Meiyan couldn't stand Xiao Zhuyi, the young heir of the Xiao family. But no one could have predicted that the princess would want to marry him. When the news spread, everyone was left marveling. The princess herself, who had taken the initiative to ask for his hand, leisurely sipped her tea and said, “I do rather like Young Lord Xiao's face.”

Everyone in the capital said that the princess had a weakness for handsome men. Whenever she met a good-looking young gentleman, she would praise him by saying, “What a handsome face.” That is, until the day Zhao Meiyan met Xiao Zhuyi again. After that, she never once called another handsome gentleman good-looking.

Before he turned fourteen, Xiao Zhuyi lived freely and happily, and couldn't stand people who abused their favored status to do whatever they pleased. After he turned fourteen, his father passed away, and the fortunes of the prince's residence took a sudden turn for the worse. He had no choice but to break his own pride and yield. He saw the full range of life's hardships and warmth, and became taciturn. Everyone thought him gentle as jade, reserved, and self-controlled. Only he knew that ever since that night, everything had changed.
