On the day of her substitute wedding, Shen Nanzhi flips up her veil and makes a run for it.
Prince Chu, Xiao Heng, leans against the doorframe, watching the show. “Go on, run. Let’s see how far you get.”
She twists her ankle, and he laughs as he cracks sunflower seeds.
She says, “I’m not interested in you.” He replies, “What a coincidence. Neither am I.”
Later, he takes a blade for her. She cries and curses, “Don’t you die, you bastard!” He says, “You look awful when you cry.”
Eventually, all of the capital knows that Prince Chu fears two things most: Shen Nanzhi not arguing with him, and Shen Nanzhi smiling at someone else.
A sharp-tongued, soft-hearted merchant’s daughter VS a scheming prince who pretends to be clueless
Their bickering is true love, and face-slapping is part of everyday life.
No angst, no melodrama, just sweetness from beginning to end.
In a word: When a pair of bickering rivals become a real couple, the whole capital gets to watch them flaunt their love.
