Synopsis: This is a story about unrequited love.
The one with a crush takes it slow and steady; the one being admired is beside himself with impatience.
Born into the Great Yong dynasty, Zhao Jinrou is the illegitimate daughter of a merchant.
When she was twelve, bandits abducted her and her twin brother. The Zhao Jinchen who returned alive was actually her in disguise.
To avoid being sent by her father to a temple to spend the rest of her life praying by lamplight, she secretly plotted to switch places with her brother.
From then on, she lived as a man, disguising herself as one.
Though still young, she showed a talent for business. Relying on her own abilities, she quickly established herself in Chang'an and even turned the Zhao family into imperial merchants.
But none of this was what Zhao Jinrou wanted most.
She worked so hard to climb the ladder only so she could get close to that man: Prince Yu, the Ninth Prince of Great Yong.
She wanted to be a little closer to him, and then closer still.
To secretly treat him well!
And to savor the fruits of her unrequited love alone: longing, sweetness, bitterness, and inner conflict...
Until one day, a certain prince could take it no longer.
He grabbed her by the waist and demanded, “You say you have a crush on me, so why won’t you open the door?”
She kept both her heart’s door and her room’s door firmly shut.
Mu Xingyi is the Ninth Prince of Great Yong. The Empress Dowager is his mother, the emperor is his older brother, and his maternal family is a ducal house.
He is every bit the beloved young prince!
He gets whatever he wants, whenever he wants it.
He has no idea what hardship even tastes like.
Until one day, he discovers someone.
A stubborn mule of a woman!
She claims she has a crush on him, yet puts on a one-woman show all by herself.
The door is bolted tight!
Even he, the one she supposedly admires, can barely squeeze his way in.
At last, with his beloved in his arms, he murmurs hoarsely in her ear, “If you won’t open the door, how am I supposed to get in...”
