[Childhood sweethearts with an arranged marriage, but they're sworn enemies] [They swap bodies and can only change back through increasingly intimate contact] [Daily life studying at the Imperial Academy + a light ensemble cast]
Zhang Baoyi could sum up her situation in one word: poor. Her mother, a princess, hadn't received a raise in twenty years. She had to support Zhang Baoyi and help out her uncle, the disgraced former Crown Prince, and his family. They were so poor they couldn't afford charcoal in winter, let alone gather enough gifts for the New Year.
Luckily, she usually studied at the Imperial Clan School, where tuition and meals were free. At least she could get by.
Duan Zhang was a notorious rich wastrel in Wangjing City. His mother was the only daughter of a salt merchant, and his father was a marquis. He was surrounded by wealth beyond counting, had played with pearls like marbles since childhood, and had never studied or worked a day in his life. All he knew was how to spend money.
The Princess's Residence and the Marquis's manor stood right across from each other, so Zhang Baoyi and Duan Zhang naturally grew up together. Their families even arranged a marriage between them, but as they grew up, they somehow became sworn enemies.
That winter, Zhang Baoyi received some bad news: she had to study at the Imperial Academy, and so did Duan Zhang.
The worse news was that Duan Zhang was in the same class as her, and even sat right next to her.
The two declared in front of everyone:
"Even if every single person in the world died, I still wouldn't marry you!!!"
One day, they woke up and stared at each other in shock.
The two sworn enemies had swapped bodies!!!
Before Zhang Baoyi could even start to panic, something even more outrageous happened:
They kissed.
Just once. Lip to lip, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water.
But the strange thing was, their bodies switched back.
Before she could celebrate, she woke up the next morning in Duan Zhang's bed again.
Duan Zhang's face, Duan Zhang's hands, and Duan Zhang's infuriating body.
They looked at each other and both swore silently.
What else could they do?
They had to pinch their noses and kiss...
Theme: Stay calm and embrace a beautiful life.
