Shen Liyin, Commandery Princess of Kangle, is as delicate and beautiful as ice and jade, and so frail she gets winded after just a few steps.
But the greatest calamity in her life isn’t her illness. It’s Xie Xingyan, the all-powerful Ninth Eunuch who kills without batting an eye.
Because she discovers that she and this madman share their sense of pain!
If Xie Xingyan gets a small cut on his finger, she tears up from the pain.
If he’s struck by an arrow on the battlefield, she faints from pain in her boudoir.
Worst of all, when Xie Xingyan gets worked up, her legs…go weak!
To save her own skin, Shen Liyin has no choice but to rush into the arms of the man who terrifies the entire capital.
On a stormy night, Xie Xingyan has just wiped the blood from his sword when the delicate commandery princess flings herself into his arms without a care for appearances, her little hands roaming over him. “Director, are you hurt? Does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you!”
Xie Xingyan narrows his phoenix eyes and grips her chin, his voice sinister. “Are you…trying to seduce me, Commandery Princess?”
Shen Liyin is breaking down inside. [Stop talking! Let me see the wound. I’m in agony!]
But what Xie Xingyan hears is: [As long as he’s by my side, I’d give him my life.]
The tips of Xie Xingyan’s ears turn red. He gives a cold snort. “What a bother. Since you insist on marrying me, I’ll grant your wish.”
Shen Liyin: ???
Later, the entire capital sees the once-arrogant Ninth Eunuch have every pebble swept off the road, just in case one might hurt her feet.
“Don’t let the Commandery Princess feel pain. She’s scared.”
