Everyone knows that the one most favored by the Holy Emperor today is the lost and recovered Princess Li Zhiyue of Zhaoyang.
Rewards are like flowing water, and grace is like the blazing sun, but she feels that this wealth is the most beautiful cage in the world.
At the Qianqiu Banquet, her father smiled and said that she would choose a good son-in-law for her, so that she would have a worry-free life.

Li Zhiyue narrowed her eyes and smiled softly. On top of the golden palace, she asked her emperor father for the only reward she wanted - the right to choose her own son-in-law.

It will last for three years. I have prepared the letter of departure. By then, you and I will have both money and goods, and we will have nothing to do with each other."
The "Smiling Tiger" who was famous in Yongcheng put away his usual fake smile for the first time, and there was a glimmer of a hunter discovering his prey in his eyes.
"Your Highness is very calculating," he opened his thin lips lightly and said simply, "Deal."
