The sharp-tongued prince pushes the limits of death every single day.
Zhao Jingyan is the most favored prince, as everyone in the capital knows. What nobody knows is that his tongue is wickedly sharp.
Because of his lofty status, his friends put up with him whenever they have to deal with him!
Except for Pei Fangying, a woman who can lift him up with one hand.
On the first day of their marriage, he is woken before dawn by Pei Fangying's training. Zhao Jingyan throws off the covers: I can't take this anymore! I want a divorce!
His maid covers his mouth and whispers, Your Highness, keep your voice down, or the princess consort will hear you.
The door is kicked open.
Zhao Jingyan lies back down and pretends to be asleep, mumbling, I'm so happy... I married such a wonderful wife.
Just as Zhao Jingyan is gradually getting used to life in the prince's residence, a military order summons Pei Fangying away.
For once, Zhao Jingyan is serious. If you really have to go, I'll go with you.
Pei Fangying only glances at him. No need. You have always wanted a divorce. You can have one now.
Zhao Jingyan stammers, I... can wait a little longer. You're busy with military affairs.
Pei Fangying cuts him off. It's fine. I'll set you free before I leave.
With that, she leaves without hesitation.
Zhao Jingyan panics. His mouth is only good for saying obnoxious things, and he has never said he loves her. He doesn't know how.
He spends the night digging out a whole roomful of romance stories and studies 108 ways to win back a wife. He plays a scholar, poses as a wealthy merchant, and even tries exotic Western Regions fashions. At last, Pei Fangying gives him a couple more glances.
But it isn't enough. Not nearly enough!
Drunk, he barges into her room, crying as he clings to Pei Fangying and begs her not to leave. He pouts, clings to her, and... uses every trick in the books that mistresses and courtesans employ.
It works! It really works!
Outsiders say, One knows how to wield a blade, the other is delicate and weak. How could they ever end up together?
Zhao Jingyan takes Pei Fangying's hand and boasts triumphantly, Why not?
My wife hits me, but why doesn't she hit you? Because she loves me! (Proud face)
Pei Fangying raises a hand. Stop picking on him. He's rather frail...
Zhao Jingyan nods vigorously.
Zhao Jingyan: I'm so delicate and weak.
Hehe, I'm faking it.
