The Capital's most handsome young nobleman VS a princess with command of the army

Historical romance | Lighthearted comedy | Tender affection | Political intrigue

The heir to the Xinyang Marquisate is elegant and handsome, widely recognized as the most beautiful man in the capital. He enjoys strolling the streets and listening to music every day, but can't focus on a single book.

Princess Jing'an commands a hundred thousand troops on the northern frontier. The emperor has granted her special permission to take part in state affairs as a woman, making her the third most powerful person in the Great Xia Empire.

A charming young gentleman and a princess who is also a general would never have crossed paths, but she falls in love with him at first sight.

She uses every trick in the book to coax the young nobleman into her princess's residence, but the more time she spends with him, the deeper she falls, until she can't help loving him.

He resents her for forcing herself on him and teasing him repeatedly, yet when someone else asks for her hand, he boldly steps forward and asks the emperor to grant them permission to marry.

One day after their wedding

The young nobleman catches a cold and lies weakly in bed. The princess brings him a bowl of medicine she's brewed and offers to feed him herself.

“It tastes awful. I don't want it!” he says, looking at her pitifully as his dewy, peach-blossom eyes blink again and again.

“Just bear with it, all right? I've had someone buy your favorite sugar painting!” The princess, usually famous for her iron-fisted rule, softens her voice and gently coaxes him.

“I don't want a sugar painting. I want you to stay with me!” He pouts, his eyes growing even redder.

“All right, I won't go anywhere. I'll stay right here with you!” The princess's heart melts. Even if she were summoned to the army camp, she couldn't bring herself to leave.

Qinghe, the maid waiting nearby to take the medicine bowl, stares in shock.

Is this really her own wise, mighty, and diligently hardworking mistress? Could she have been possessed?
