Your Highness, the Young Lady Has Gone Out to Admire Handsome Gentlemen Again

Xiao Jue, the Prince of Jing'an who commands an army, is a cold, austere, iron-blooded prince to the outside world. But behind closed doors, he harbors a secret no one knows: Su Ruan, the “younger sister” he watched grow up, has long been his cherished possession, etched into his very bones.

Su Ruan ran wild in the prince's residence from the time she was little, tearing up military manuals to make kites and braiding flower garlands for warhorses. She caused countless mishaps, yet always got away with it by putting on a sweet, innocent face. But when she grew into a graceful young woman and heard a few romantic tales of scholars and beauties, she began dreaming of sneaking out to meet handsome young men. Xiao Jue caught her every time, but she never learned her lesson.

An imperial decree arranging her marriage sent Xiao Jue's possessiveness aflame. He forcefully rejected every proposed match, only to make Su Ruan climb over the wall and run away in a fit of pique. Xiao Jue was already waiting outside. He carried her back to her room, where his repressed fury erupted alongside his long-suppressed love. As she stared at him in alarm, he bent down and kissed her forcefully, shattering the pretense of being her “elder brother” with each word: “We aren't related by blood. You have always been mine!”
