Sheng Jinjin, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, married the cold-faced Prince Yi, a celebrated war hero. Everyone thought they were a match made in heaven. Only the servants of Prince Yi’s household knew that the princess consort was wonderful in every way, except that she was a little… boisterous.
She wanted to grow medicinal herbs, so she took the prince’s black-iron sword to dig up the peony garden.
She wanted to thank the prince, so she served him fish so bitterly salty that the undefeated Prince Yi got up three times in the middle of the night to drink water.
Faced with this extraordinary princess consort, the cold-faced god of war went from laughing in exasperation, to silently eating every one of her disastrous dishes, to sneaking over at night to tuck her in.
Prince Yi: “I’m just angry.”
The servants: “Your Highness, the corners of your mouth are turning up.”
Sheng Jinjin: “Your Highness, I’m making you dinner again tonight!”
Prince Yi: “…The kitchen is closed.”
