My Childhood Friend Is the Crown Prince

Strong, Wild Girl vs. Frail, Helpless Crown Prince

*

Du Muyun was born with incredible strength and a huge appetite.

Abandoned by her parents at ten, she soon stumbled upon a mother and daughter in dire straits, whom she took for a pair of fallen fairies.

But the older sister was a little strange.

She wouldn't let Du Muyun watch her bathe, her voice sounded like a drake's, and her face grew more handsome by the day?

Every lecher who tried to bother her got sent flying by a single punch from Du Muyun.

On her deathbed, Aunt Liu entrusted her with one last request: "A Yun, take good care of A Ci for me."

Du Muyun nodded firmly. "Don't worry, Aunt Liu! Even if I go hungry, I won't let Big Sis go hungry!"

To protect her shy older sister, Du Muyun cleared land, farmed it, and founded a mountain stronghold.

Others made a living by robbing people, but with nothing but her brute strength, she became a mountain bandit chief no one dared to cross for miles around.

On stormy nights, she could even pull her fragrant older sister into her arms and sleep with her!

Duan Ci called her crude, but still washed her clothes, cooked for her, and mended her garments.

He had composed poetry at three and painted at five, and was once the palace's pampered little grandson.

At thirteen, a palace coup forced him to flee with Madam Liu, disguised as a girl, and hide in the mountains.

Then the old emperor died, and soldiers surrounded the mountain.

The man at their head bowed and knelt before Du Muyun's frail, helpless older sister. "We respectfully welcome the Crown Prince back to the palace."

The half-eaten steamed bun in Du Muyun's hand fell to the ground. She blurted out, "If you go back to the palace, will you still steam buns for me?"

[Bonus Scene]

One day, while down the mountain shopping, a spoiled young master kept looking at Du Muyun.

Not long afterward, his family's shops closed, their farmland was sold, and the whole family moved out of the county.

Du Muyun happened to mention, "Hey, I haven't seen that guy who kept staring at me in ages."

Duan Ci was mending her clothes, his head bowed.

"Perhaps he looked at someone he shouldn't have."

Reading Guide: 1. The male lead disguises himself as a woman because he has no choice while fleeing assassins. It's not a fetish! 2. The female lead is very slow on the uptake. She has her suspicions, but not many. 3. He is three years younger than her. The story follows them from youth into adulthood.
