The greatest rivals of Beiping’s elite are here!
Li Jingchen, heir to the Prince of Shuncheng, has always hated one person above all: Su Wanqing from the neighboring Prince Gong’s mansion. This wild girl steals his crickets, feeds chili powder to his pigeons, and would probably tear his courtyard apart if she could.
But who could have guessed that a mishap involving a big yellow dog chewing up a rabbit doll would turn the dignified heir into Su Wanqing’s personal errand boy?
She tricks him into climbing a city wall and leaves him stranded; he hooks an old shoe while fishing and nearly falls into the river; at the opera, she soaks his shoulder with her spit… Li Jingchen’s time as her sidekick is one disaster after another, with plenty of mortifying public humiliation thrown in.
When their half-month arrangement ends, they both feel strangely empty.
He loiters outside her mansion every day, pretending to run into her by chance, while she wanders outside the wall with a slingshot, looking for a fight.
Neither will admit how they feel, and neither is willing to give in first. Then, at a birthday banquet, a warlord’s son confesses his love in front of everyone, and Li Jingchen explodes on the spot: “Su Wanqing is mine!”
Su Wanqing raises an eyebrow and takes his arm. “You should’ve said so sooner. This princess has been waiting a long time to hear that.”
A zany romance among the Republic-era elite, from mutual dislike to a lifetime of sweetness. Get ready to laugh!
