Yu Shixi, a princess of the empire, was frail from birth due to a weakness in the womb. When she was young, enemy spies poisoned her, leaving her with an illness that meant she would not live past twenty-five. She had planned to spend the rest of her life in quiet simplicity, but her childhood friend refused to let her, and became her prince consort...
As the eldest grandson of the General Qi family, Qi Wubei was supposed to grow up obediently as his parents wished, then serve his country. But when he was five and accompanied his father to the palace for the princess’s first-month celebration, he saw the person he would never want to give up for the rest of his life. He worked hard to get closer to the one he loved, eventually becoming a study companion to the princes. The two of them had more chances to spend time together, and through their everyday moments, they fell in love. But he was always plagued by insecurity...
A little scene:
“Xier, as long as you don’t leave me, I’ll do anything,” Qi Wubei said, his eyes red as he looked at her.
“Why would I leave you? Abei, you’re overthinking it. Instead of worrying about that, why don’t you think about what we should order tonight?” Yu Shixi was searching through a box.
“I... Could I, tonight...” Qi Wubei didn’t even dare look at those things, and his palms were sweating with nerves.
“No.” Yu Shixi had already found what she wanted. She smiled at Qi Wubei, who was shrinking back beside her, her expression brimming with confidence.
It looks good, it must be he, please
