She's the Prince's Childhood Sweetheart

Transmigration + no golden finger + devoted couple + not a melodramatic wish-fulfillment story + a touch of ensemble cast

A little palace maid, born to a disgraced official’s family, transmigrates into another world.

She nervously looks forward to leaving the palace at twenty-two and finally being free.

She does her best to curry favor, figuring that it’s good to have a powerful patron to lean on. But she overdoes it and ends up pulling that patron into her arms instead.

The courteous and considerate Crown Prince turns into a clingy sweetheart...

That still won’t do!

When he was eight, the Empress Dowager asked him if he would take in a homeless little girl.

He nodded.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, “She’ll stay by your side. Treat her well.”

He blushed at the time.

The girl who once hid behind him now wants nothing more than to leave him.

He took her hand. “I don’t want anyone else.”

She promised she’d stay by his side forever... so why is she trying to run away?
