[Secret crush + childhood sweethearts forced into love + intelligent leads + devoted to one another]
Song Wanxing is the capital’s most notorious rebellious young lady.
Every day, she only has a few things to do: spend the day eating, drinking, and having fun; go home at night to get scolded; then sneak over the wall after midnight to visit a brothel with her equally rakish childhood friend and listen to songs. At daybreak, she goes home and gets scolded some more.
She’s used to it. What’s the big deal? At worst, she’ll get beaten a few more times.
She doesn’t care about getting beaten. Wait, what?
Her childhood friend, who used to join her in causing trouble and never saw eye to eye with her, has suddenly changed his tune and wants them to marry first and fall in love later? But they’re purely platonic!
“Song Wanxing, marry me.” Her rakish childhood friend confesses with a serious look, giving her goosebumps.
“Are you sick? Who do you think you are? Get lost!” She refuses him with righteous indignation.
But after her family falls from grace, her rakish childhood friend becomes the chancellor, and proposes to her again.
“Song Wanxing, will you marry me this time?”
It turns out that she was the only one who was ignorant and wicked. He had been pretending all along!
