The day Jiang Wan stepped into Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, everyone in Jinling thought she was an orphan girl climbing a high tree.
At the reception banquet, the Duke's wife lovingly suggested that they kiss each other.
In full view of everyone, she stood up and saluted, her voice as cold as broken jade:
"My aunt loves me deeply, and I accept it with all my heart. But I cannot abide by this engagement."
The whole hall was dead silent.
The crown prince Xie Zheng put down his wine glass and looked at his "sick" cousin for the first time - and then he saw a pair of eyes as calm as a deep pool.
Everyone said Jiang Wan was crazy.
An orphan girl whose parents were both dead dared to refuse to marry the prince of the country in public.
Little did they know that she was the last descendant of the "Crane Watcher" in the Royal Secret Pavilion, and she sneaked into the Duke's Mansion with her master's blood feud and shocking secret scroll.
And Xie Zheng, the heir apparent who holds the Yulin Guard and is thoughtful, is the most critical link in her plan - and the biggest variable.
He thought she was playing hard to get.
But under his nose, she used her medical skills to save his subordinates, used reasoning to solve unsolved cases, and used her wits to maneuver among the princes and dignitaries.
Xie Zheng forced Jiang Wan to the corner and brushed the side of her neck with his fingertips:
"Cousin, who do you belong to?"
She raised her head and chuckled: "Prince, take a guess."
Later, in order to protect her from the poison, Xie Zheng held her hand tightly when she was about to die:
"The person who saved me in Jiangzhou that year... Was you, right?"
Jiang Wan gave him the acupuncture with trembling hands, tears falling on his blood-stained clothes:
"I just realized it now, Prince Xie, you are really blind."
