The Princess Is Peerlessly Graceful, and the General Has Been Scheming for Her for Ages

Childhood sweethearts + fighting to claim her + love triangle drama + both virgins + a tsundere, scheming male lead

Princess Shen Yihuan of Nannan is a pampered royal daughter, spoiled and willful. That’s what everyone in the land says.

That’s because she was destined to be extraordinary from birth. Her biological father is the Emperor of Nannan, and her adoptive father is the ruler of Jiang. The apple of two emperors’ eyes, she grew up fearless and unrestrained.

For six years, she pursued Zhang Juyi, bringing him medicine and books and flirting with him, wishing she could place the finest things in the world at his feet.

He was a gentle, refined gentleman who always treated her with polite distance.

“Your Highness is born to nobility. I dare not presume to be worthy of you.”

She thought he was simply slow to catch on.

Until Song Nuanyao took an arrow to the shoulder and collapsed into his arms. He carried her away, leaving Shen Yihuan with these words:

“Your Highness is born to nobility, but other people are also the apple of their families’ eyes.”

Suddenly, she understood.

He wasn’t slow to catch on. He had simply fallen for someone else.

Young General Ning Heng had watched her chase after Zhang Juyi for six years, standing behind her all that time.

He never said much. Whenever she was hurt, he would offer her a piece of candy or make a casual joke.

“Your Highness, could you make your wall-climbing look a little more graceful? I can barely stand watching.”

She thought he was only teasing her.

Until that day…

She suddenly remembered the spring dream she’d had about him.

Later, Zhang Juyi came back looking for her, only to find that…

Someone was already standing by her side.

…

The moment she finally let go of her obsession and turned around,

she realized the best person had been right behind her all along.
