[Beloved by All] [Nurturing] [Sweet Romance] [Court Intrigue]
Bai Ying transmigrates as a frail little eight-year-old, but she is blessed with an iron constitution and good fortune. Powerful figures in the imperial palace compete to protect her, and even the cat catches mice for her.
The only exception is the deposed prince in the Cold Palace. He's vicious and impossible to handle, pinching the back of her neck to make her copy alchemy recipes and deliver secret messages, and warning her, "Eavesdrop again and I'll hang you up and beat you."
Bai Ying trembles and calls him Big Brother while secretly bringing him food: "You can have my candy and meat buns. Please don't kill me, okay?"
Later, the deposed prince carves a bloody path to power, but keeps only her enclosed in his arms. His voice low and husky, he says, "I've raised you for so long. It's time to collect the interest."
Bai Ying is horrified. "I'm only eight!"
He chuckles. "I'll wait until you grow up."
