Synopsis

“Our story begins in the imperial palace of the Ning Dynasty. The Noble Consort gave birth to a little princess born with auspicious signs, and that princess was me, Princess Yongle.” Mu Fan puffed out her chest, looking extremely proud. “Right, right. But I’ll let you in on a secret: my little sister still couldn’t talk at three, and... she seemed a little dim.” That was her older brother Mu Cheng, weighing in. Although Mu Cheng is the first male lead and Mu Fan is the first female lead, and they’re siblings, this is not an incest story. They each have their own love interest. Mu Cheng x Shen Qingge (a carefree, wolfish prince x a talented, quick-witted young woman) Mu Fan x Pei Zhiheng (a carefree, heartless bunny princess x a cool, aloof fox-like top scholar) The siblings both force their love interests into marriage. Let’s see who succeeds first in winning their spouse over! (Forced marriage + political intrigue + two couples + sweet and angsty + happy ending) (Note: The history in this story has absolutely nothing to do with actual history. It is entirely fictional, so please don’t take it seriously or go around saying, “When was there a Ning Dynasty, and who was that emperor?” None of that ever happened; this is a fictional setting. It’d be fine if nobody read it, but if you do and then say I’m setting a bad example, I’m not taking the blame.)
