After Marrying the Wrong Ertai, the Princess Finally Sees the Truth

The imperial decree granting the marriage arrives, and the groom has changed from the Fifth Prince to Fu Ertai.

The whole capital laughs: a wild girl matched with the Second Young Master? What a joke.

Xiao Yanzi thinks so too. She and Ertai are brothers, buddies, friends who roast sweet potatoes together. How can brothers get married?

But that gentle, refined man kneels outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the autumn rain and says, word by word, “Your servant could not wish for more.”

She thinks he’s just helping her out of a tight spot. Until she finds an album, filled entirely with pictures of her, spanning ten whole years.

Her at the entrance to the courtyard. Her sneaking candied hawthorn. Her falling while climbing over a wall.

It turns out that all these years, someone has watched over her from the shadows on every road she’s traveled.

“Fu Ertai! Do you like me?”

“I’ve loved you for ten years. You don’t have to love me back.”

“Who said you get to decide that for me? I like you now. Is it too late?”
