When Ye Jiaojiao wakes up, she's become the most audacious princess of the Daye Dynasty, but she has only one minute left to live!
Even more absurdly, the "Cuddle to Extend Your Life System" in her mind gives her an order on the spot: If she doesn't kiss the aloof Grand Tutor standing before her, she'll drop dead immediately!
So the entire court watches as the princess grabs Grand Tutor Pei Yan by the lapels and kisses him twice!
Everyone thinks she's gone mad. Only Ye Jiaojiao knows that every bit of skinship buys her a few more days to live. Touching his hand adds years to her life, touching his abs earns her a reward, and sharing a bed with him extends her life by a full hundred days!
But every time she flirts with him, she runs off, while Pei Yan is forced time and again to catch her, protect her, and clean up her messes.
She thinks the Grand Tutor can't wait to banish her from the palace, unaware that this reserved and proper living bodhisattva has long been snapping his brush in the dead of night, repeatedly recalling the warmth of her lips.
When the Prince Regent plots to seize power and the truth about her deceased mother's origins comes to light, Ye Jiaojiao must cling her way through life and join Pei Yan in fighting their way out of the court's deadly trap!
But once she's accumulated enough years of life and prepares to run away for good, the man who has always kept himself in check and observed propriety traps her in a narrow alley, his eyes red.
"If it's only to extend your life..."
"Then let's extend it a little more."
