[Two male leads + melodrama + mild coercion + both chaste + happy ending]
Cool beauty bottom × proud, aloof top
When the states of Qi and Zheng went to war, Prince Li Bai Qing fell in love at first sight with the Fourth Prince, Shen Min, at a peace banquet, then forcibly took him home.
A forcibly picked melon isn’t sweet, but Bai Qing believes that the only way to find out whether it’s sweet is to eat it.
But that proud, stubborn belief ultimately hurt them both. They wasted many years, though they were so close and yet so far apart.
P.S. This is a melodramatic story, so don’t expect the plot to make sense.
The ending feels a bit rushed
