[Marriage First, Love Later + Contract Marriage + Fictional Country + A Little Sweet Treat]
After collapsing from overwork, Chu Xiaoxiao wakes up to find that the world she lives in has suddenly acquired a modern royal family revered by everyone.
And she is about to marry the heir to the throne and become a crown princess.
Raised under the red flag and nurtured by the spring breeze, Chu Xiaoxiao has thoroughly embraced the core socialist values. So when her biological parents tell her she is going to marry this country’s crown prince, she can only think:
What a joke. The Qing dynasty fell ages ago!
Convinced her parents are playing a prank, Chu Xiaoxiao is forced to sit in front of the television.
A morning news broadcast leaves her stunned:
“For the first time in a century, a member of the royal family is marrying a commoner. A royal spokesperson says this is a sign of progress and shows that the royal family stands with the people.”
Good heavens, can someone tell her: is something wrong with her, or with this world?
When they first meet, Chu Xiaoxiao thinks he’s a pervert and splashes ink all over Yin Zhi with the inkstone beside her.
“What makes you think I’d marry a woman like you?”
Chu Xiaoxiao refuses to back down. “Fine, then go tell them you don’t want to marry me!”
Life in the royal family is tedious and oppressive, but whenever Chu Xiaoxiao can no longer endure it, Yin Zhi is there by her side.
In the end, Yin Zhi becomes the only reason she stays in the palace.
But a free bird shouldn’t be locked in a cage.
Chu Xiaoxiao becomes a world-renowned restorer of ancient books and fulfills the promise she made to her grandfather as a child.
When she looks back, Yin Zhi is always there behind her.
“It’s not worth giving up the throne for me.”
“Xiaoxiao.” Yin Zhi gently taps her forehead. “You deserve every good thing in this world.”
