The Jealous Heir Always Wants to Cuddle

[A bold, sunny sweetheart vs. a cool-headed, cunning, jealous young lord]

Xie Jing had never met a girl so willful and fierce.

That day, he used himself as bait to lure away several groups of pursuers. By chance, he stumbled straight into a hunter's deer trap in Bayan Mountain.

The girl was beautiful, but her idea of proper behavior was something else entirely. She drove off the assassins hunting him with a single swing of her blade! Then she made a pot of medicine and forced him to share it with a dog.

Clutching the bowl, Xie Jing was furious. “What a joke. Even if you're my savior, you can kill me, but you can't humiliate me.”

But when she lifted those almond-shaped eyes… he couldn't help raising his hand and drinking it all down at once.

He returned to the prince's manor without saying goodbye.

His guards were chatty, telling him the people in the north were open and bold. If a man liked a girl, he could hold her hand or put his arm around her right out on the street, or even abduct her and live together.

The girl's image appeared in Xie Jing's mind, and he thought: Just let her try!

Gu Jianxi went deer hunting before the New Year and caught a man.

She hung him upside down from a tree. He was covered in blood and wore a cold expression, without saying a word.

She changed his bandages, gave him water, and watched over him day and night, sharing his bed for three days and nights.

In return, he left without a word.

Fine, let him go! Life went on. During the New Year festivities, her father gave her a hairpin, and her elder brother put it in her hair. On their way home from town, her brother took her hand because he was afraid she was cold.

She turned around and saw the man on a tall horse, dressed in a black brocade robe, coldly demanding, “You can accept someone else's hairpin and hold his hand, but you can't accept the gift I offer to repay you?”

Gu Jianxi glared at him. Hadn't he left without a word? She wouldn't take it.

In his panic, he lowered his head and kissed her.

She slapped him in return.

Clutching his cheek, he gritted his teeth. “We shared a bed on the mountain. If we're going by who came first, I'm the young lord.”

Only later did she learn there was a shocking secret behind his identity as the young lord of the prince's manor.

And hidden inside the Wanlan Saber her father had left her was a bloody edict powerful enough to overturn the realm.

“You're the young lord of the prince's manor, and I'm a hunter's orphan. Our worlds have nothing to do with each other. You can't force a relationship and expect it to work.”

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. After conquering her defenses, he rasped, “If the melon isn't sweet, then is this young lord sweet?”
