Synopsis: [Delicate, affected princess VS cunning, carefree crown prince]
[1v1, both pure, slightly coercive, sweet romance, political intrigue]
In the nineteenth year of the Mingde era, the heir of the Northern Frontier won a great victory over the Liao.
That same year, the heir’s younger sister, Yun Lan, entered the capital to choose a husband. In truth, she was a hostage.
Rumor had it that people from the Northern Frontier were tall and brawny, rough and uncouth.
The capital’s young noblemen were all on edge, afraid the princess might take a fancy to them.
Who could have guessed that the princess was so delicate and breathtakingly beautiful that no ordinary man could measure up?
The princes vied to marry her, devising one scheme after another.
Little did they know the Crown Prince had already won her heart.
*
She was the most distinguished princess of the Northern Frontier’s royal house, while he was the seemingly glorious Crown Prince of Dayin.
A single blow that broke an arm, a mouthful of flesh and blood: the two of them became enemies.
Having gone through similar experiences and sharing the same ruthless streak, the Crown Prince took a liking to the princess at first sight.
He used every means at his disposal, whether coercion or sweet talk. He wanted all of her, body and soul.
What he didn’t expect was that he had already fallen for her.
She became his most precious treasure, the apple of his eye.
*
Later, the court grew corrupt and the Northern Frontier fell.
They fought side by side, the Crown Prince handling affairs at home and the princess commanding the front.
Together, they drove out invaders and restored order, bringing peace and prosperity back to Dayin and allowing its people to live in comfort.
I really like the prince's gentleness and sycophancy.
