Synopsis

[Pure historical romance | No golden fingers | Two main couples] As the only surviving heir of Prince Ning, Qi Chengjin inherited the title of Prince Ning at the age of three. Raised by the empress dowager, he was adored by Emperor Jingyou and the empress dowager alike, and grew up unconstrained. He had no interest in studying and wanted nothing more than to be an idle prince, so his reputation in the northern capital was naturally poor.

Li Ruoyan, the prime minister's legitimate daughter, was acclaimed as the most talented young woman in the northern capital. Yet at a palace banquet, she rejected the proposals of numerous princes and chose Qi Chengjin, who had been watching the spectacle from the sidelines...

[The historical customs, institutions, and official titles are handled rather loosely. Please don't read if that bothers you. The male lead will gradually mature.]
