[Single Female Lead] [Overhearing Inner Thoughts] [Mind Reading] [Play the pig to eat the tiger] [Two Strong Leads] [Winning Back Her Husband] [Subverting the Usual Tropes] [Feel-Good] [Sweet Romance]

(If you're looking for a harem power fantasy, move along. This is a sweet romance with a thoughtful heroine who pursues the hero!)

Xiao Yunlan's brush suddenly stopped. Her beautiful eyes turned icy. "...What did you just say?"

Xie Qing: "Your Highness doesn't want to break off the engagement either, does she?" (Inner thoughts): [Sign the papers already! Don't keep me from enjoying myself every night!]
