Palace version of Friends x ancient version of Gossip Girl
A lie-flat, easygoing shou x a straightforward general gong | Hilarious and sweet romance | They fall for each other
[The highest level of gossiping: becoming a top-tier star couple yourself!]
Lin Xiaotang, the Great Sheng Dynasty’s number-one idle prince, has one lifelong pursuit: fresh gossip from the imperial kitchen, the old tiles on the Cold Palace roof, and finding out who’s pulling whose hair in the harem today.
Until one day
General Huo Xiao returns to the capital and crashes into his cart of melons. The imperial jade token he receives is engraved with his favorite crabapple blossom, and every romance novel in the capital is writing The Cold Palace Prince Runs Away Pregnant!
The people involved are stunned:
“Our token of love is an eight-hundred-jin singing winter melon?”
“That portrait in the study is me drooling in my sleep?”
“You kept the plum pit I gave you when I was three for fifteen years?!”
Everyday life as the rumors get more and more out of hand:
✓ He writes a love letter for a maid and gets dubbed “the master of love letters.”
✓ He tries to clear things up before the emperor, only to be granted a marriage decree: “May Winter Melon and Honeydew be happy together for a hundred years.”
✓ He sneaks into the general’s residence at night and sets off a whole-house sugar-rain confession mechanism.
Huo Xiao’s bold declarations:
“I’ll trade my military achievements for honeydew melons, and use victory reports as betrothal gifts.”
“Your Highness owes me every melon seed you’ve ever eaten. I’ll charge compound interest.”
“Sugar can be kept for fifty years, and my feelings can last for thousands upon thousands of years.”
