    The male lead is a powerful, mind-reading prince, yet he's completely under the thumb of his rebellious mistress. When she deliberately chats and laughs with other young men in front of him, he reads her mind and knows she's thinking, "Let's see how long you can keep up that ice-cold act," but he still can't resist pulling her into his arms, his tone possessive and sour, "My mistress can only speak to me." When she jokingly suggests taking a beautiful concubine, his face instantly darkens. He hears his own inner scream, "If you dare take a concubine, I'll break your legs!" But outwardly he feigns composure, saying, "If you like it, fine. But I need to teach you the rules of this manor." This mind-reading, powerful prince's contradictory flirting, each "annoying" gesture hiding his uncontrollable concern, is both sweet and captivating!
