The God of War, Prince Ye Youcheng, has won countless military honors. Three years ago, he was disfigured in a battle in the northern desert and lost all his martial arts skills. Rumor has it that he also lost his manhood. Gravely ill, he retired from the military, and the prince once renowned as the most outstanding man in the capital changed completely. His moods became unpredictable, he killed people for no reason, and none of the capital’s respectable young ladies was willing to marry him.
When Prince Cheng’s illness struck and his life hung in the balance,
a decree of imperial marriage was issued, and the prime minister’s legitimate daughter was sent to Prince Cheng’s residence to bring him good luck.
The prime minister’s daughter, Xie Yunruo, knows nothing of poetry, music, chess, painting, or the Confucian classics. With no foundation at all, her greatest passion is handsome men. Every day she dresses herself up in gaudy finery, paints her face like a flower, and chases the Third Prince everywhere, earning his disgust and becoming the capital’s biggest laughingstock.
Not only is she set up by the man she loves and sent to Prince Cheng to humiliate him, she is also poisoned by the dog emperor, who covets the secret army under Prince Cheng’s command.
Her rival in love, Xie Yunxi, bribes a servant to drug her and ruin her reputation. As Xie Yunruo watches a whole roomful of people coming to catch her,
she leaps into the lake in a fit of anger.
While still unconscious after being pulled from the water, she is stuffed into a bridal sedan and sent to Prince Cheng’s residence.
Designer Xie Yunruo wants nothing more than to stay away from men and focus on her career. She swears she will get a divorce.
Her career keeps thriving, while the God of War prince gets jealous more and more often.
“My lord, isn’t it rumored throughout the capital that you can’t perform?”
“Why don’t you try and see for yourself, Ruoruo?”
Wasn’t she supposed to get a divorce...?
