[Frank and straightforward duke’s legitimate daughter x restrained, obsessive prince]

Shen Chushi, the second daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household, has been bright, free-spirited, and unrestrained since childhood. Before she was even born, she was betrothed by arrangement, and the wedding was set for after the New Year. But on the eve of the ceremony, an imperial decree abruptly called off the engagement.

To everyone’s surprise, Miss Shen was not heartbroken at all. Instead, she clapped her hands in delight. “Good riddance!”

But just after the engagement was called off, the young woman’s heart stirred for the first time. One glimpse of him atop the manor wall, and she fell in love at first sight.

Yet the Prince of Chen had long coveted her hand, and she thought there was no chance she could ever be with the man she loved.

Until one night...

He climbed over the wall into her manor and was caught red-handed by her elder brother.

Her brother calmly said, “He’s your future husband.”

Shen Chushi: “Huh?”

When Gu Chixiao was eight, he nearly starved to death in the princes’ residence. She saved his life.

He left the palace on a diplomatic mission to an enemy state, joined the army at fourteen, and rose to become a prince and a high-ranking minister.

The first thing he did after returning to the capital was obtain an imperial decree to call off their childhood betrothal.

He thought his long-laid plans and forceful pursuit would earn her hatred.

But instead, the young woman perched in a crabapple tree, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “My lord, since you’ve asked so many questions, is it because you think I’m pretty and you like me?”
