[Strong female lead, feel-good story + pure historical romance + palace and household intrigue + marriage before love]
Hua Ruyue, daughter of a great general, unexpectedly marries Gong Changtian, the Prince Regent.
Rumor has it that Hua Ruyue is ugly. Gong Changtian doesn’t mind, since he only sought the emperor’s decree to marry the woman he loves, a courtesan.
Hua Ruyue refuses to accept it. How could a legitimate daughter of a noble family lose out to a courtesan?
On their wedding night, Hua Ruyue reveals her true face, beautiful as a goddess, leaving Gong Changtian stunned.
Hua Ruyue never expected Gong Changtian to be haughty on the surface but a sentimental man underneath. Whenever he meets a woman he finds appealing, he gradually falls for her.
Later, Hua Ruyue discovers that Gong Changtian can fall for several women, but the one he loves most is still that courtesan.
When Hua Ruyue slowly gives up on the idea of winning Gong Changtian’s heart and stops constantly revolving around him, he begins to value her instead.
“Men are so strange,” Hua Ruyue sighs.
