Kiss the Rose Freely

(Sweet romance + secret crush + long-planned love + happy ending)

Delicate, sickly princess vs. aloof, restrained knight

Ji Qi was born into the wealthiest family in Wancheng, the Ji family. She was an untouchable rose, frail and sickly from childhood, and doted on by her family.

Chi Ming was the third young master of the Chi family in the capital. Cold by nature, he was an illegitimate son whom everyone despised.

The first time they met, five-year-old Ji Qi crouched in front of ten-year-old Chi Ming, holding a rose.

“Big brother, here’s a rose for you.”

Chi Ming had never accepted anything from anyone before, but that day, for the first time, he took the rose from Ji Qi’s hand.

From then on, the third young master of the Chi family had a reason to keep living.

The second time they met, Ji Qi’s car rear-ended Chi Ming’s.

The lofty princess of the Ji family had always been able to hold her head high. She shoved a wad of cash at him and left.

The third time they met, twenty-year-old Ji Qi traveled to northern Jiangbei to see twenty-five-year-old Chi Ming, all to thank him for sending her birthday wishes for the past ten years.

In the cold of northern Jiangbei, Ji Qi came across a vast rose garden, unaware that Chi Ming had grown those roses for her with his own hands.

Later, something happened to the Ji family, and Ji Qi disappeared. Chi Ming searched for her desperately, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t find his princess.

When they met again, Ji Qi showed up in the capital, at Chi Ming’s company. This time, Chi Ming swore he would never let her leave again.

Step by step, Chi Ming helped Ji Qi reclaim her place as the Ji family’s princess, turning her from a princess into a queen. And he willingly submitted to her.

It was a long time before Ji Qi understood how much Chi Ming loved her.

“Chi Ming, it’s not you who has submitted to me. I’m the one who’s fallen helplessly into your sea of roses.”
