Astonishing! Whose princess gets slandered from the start, with people saying she won’t live to see her coming-of-age ceremony?
And to make matters worse, she’s hopeless at studying and only cares about storybooks!
♡ A clueless little girl VS silver-tongued Yan Feiyuan
He said: “Among the flowers, two butterflies flutter side by side; by the pond, a pair of mandarin ducks stroll together. I never understood ‘May we be two birds flying wing to wing in heaven, and two branches intertwined on earth,’ but now that I’ve seen you, I think it suits us perfectly.”
She said: “A couple of lines, and it’s all mandarin ducks and flying wing to wing. Put plainly, aren’t you just calling yourself a beast? Did you think nobody would recognize it if you changed the packaging?”
(The two hopeless romantics bicker back and forth, only to get more and more into each other!)
♡ An innocent, carefree little princess VS the hapless consort Liu Xiaoren
He said: “I truly love the princess. I hope Your Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress will give us their blessing.”
She said: “I made my divine physician master angry, so he started spreading rumors that I won’t live to see my coming-of-age ceremony. I suppose they heard the news and fell in love with me because I won’t live to adulthood, hoping to inherit my fortune once I’m dead.”
♡ A princess who likes things plain and simple VS a certain Yan who gets more and more down-to-earth with age
He said: “I love you. There was no one else before, and there is only you now and always.”
She said: “Congratulations, you got the right answer! There’s a prize!”
