When Song Yu, the Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, was attacked, the one who saved him was Xie Zhiyu, a spoiled and notoriously demanding princess.
The whole capital was in an uproar.
To repay her for saving his life, Song Yu promised her gold, silver, and precious treasures.
"No," Xie Zhiyu refused at once.
"I want you to kiss me once every day. That shouldn't be difficult for you, Assistant Minister Song, should it?"
She wanted to toy with the most aloof, most virtuous young nobleman in the capital.
Every day.
-
Song Yu repaid his debt of gratitude with great reluctance for three months. Perhaps resentment was building up inside him, because his kisses grew more and more forceful, leaving Xie Zhiyu nearly breathless every time.
And besides...
He seemed close to discovering that she had arranged an assassination attempt on him, then pretended to rescue him like a hero.
Xie Zhiyu decisively sent him a letter saying he no longer needed to repay this "debt."
Song Yu showed no reaction.
Xie Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief and went on outings with other men as though nothing had happened.
Then she was suddenly abducted and dragged deep into a familiar forest. It was the place where she had forced Song Yu to kiss her every day as repayment.
Song Yu kissed her even more fiercely than before, then looked down at her glistening, swollen lips and eyes brimming with tears and sneered, "You've been playing with me all this time, and you've already found someone else?"
"But now, it's my turn to play."
