Speak Up! The Sickly Crown Prince Is Playing the Green Tea Again

Jiang Zhizhi is the most ordinary office worker in her building. She gets through each day by listening to comedy routines, fires off punchlines at the drop of a hat, and has her complaining skills maxed out. Then one day, while buying coffee, she gets “deliberately bumped into” by a man in a bespoke suit. The coffee splashes all over him. He gazes at her with red-rimmed eyes, his voice soft as cotton candy: “Sis, my mom had this suit specially made for me. Now it’s dirty. Do you think she’ll be mad at me?”

She has no idea that this “green tea beauty” is Lan Zhiyue, the young heir of the Lanyue Group. To outsiders, he’s a gloomy, unhinged madman, but in front of her, he takes his “drama queen” act to the extreme: his hand hurts, so he can’t sign documents and needs her to do it for him; he’s afraid of the dark and needs her to walk him downstairs; even when they eat hotpot, he pouts and says, “It’s so spicy my eyes are watering. Sis, blow on it for me.”

Jiang Zhizhi goes from “calling him out on the spot” to discovering the vulnerability hidden in his eyes, left behind by his parents’ divorce. And with her comedy routines and fierce protection, Lan Zhiyue slowly emerges from the shadows. It turns out the sweetest kind of salvation is you indulging my antics while I stand up for you.

Meanwhile, Lan Zhiyue’s best friend, Fu Yunshen, seems sunny and cheerful, but secretly holds the reins of the Fu family’s criminal empire. He helps Lan Zhiyue “chase his girl,” never expecting to fall for Jiang Zhizhi’s best friend, Qi Wuqi. A firm believer in “if you can hit them, don’t waste your breath,” she’s a martial arts powerhouse who throws him into a flower bed on the spot just because he’s in her way. From then on, Fu Yunshen clings to her with “revenge” on his mind, but after getting beaten up again and again, he finally sees the sincere feelings he’s been hiding.
