He is the notorious, carefree prince of the northern kingdom. She is the proud, headstrong princess of the southern kingdom, aloof by nature.
They met by chance, and he fell in love with her at first sight over a skewer of candied hawthorn.
Everyone says there's nothing to fear about offending Wei Miaoyan. But offend Wei Miaoyan when Gu Linji is protecting her, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
Gu Linji fights for Wei Miaoyan and helps her escape an arranged marriage. She tells him, “If you don't have the makings of an emperor, you don't deserve me, Wei Miaoyan.”
So he wins the northern kingdom he had never cared much about. Who could have guessed that this woman would keep shouting about wanting to marry someone else?
(This is a sweet romance full of love.)
Wei Miaoyan: “There's been a rumor going around lately that I like you. I came to set the record straight today. That rumor... is true.”
Gu Linji: “How fortunate. I fell in love with the princess at first sight, too.”
Wei Miaoyan: “Come here.”
Gu Linji: “What for?”
Wei Miaoyan: “Everyone else is holding hands with the one they love. I want to, too.”
(Though it also seems like a tragic romance.)
Wei Miaoyan: “I'll stay by your side forever.”
Wen Cuilin: “What about your heart?”
Wei Miaoyan: “It will slowly become yours.”
