Proud, radiant daughter of the Grand Tutor × cold, calculating heir of a general's family
Childhood friends | One-on-one, both leads' first love | Happy ending | A little political intrigue
Everyone in the capital knew that Grand Tutor Shen's family had passed down a scholarly tradition for generations and was upright and incorruptible. He had only one exception: a "little demon" of a daughter.
Shen Ruyao, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor's household, had been doted on by her parents since childhood. With her unruly personality, she was the little girl no one in the capital dared to provoke.
Everyone said Lu Chenyu was decisive and ruthless, a vicious man and a lackey of the emperor.
Shen Ruyao thought they had it all wrong. At a poetry gathering in the palace, she boldly declared, "Lu Chenyu can only be my dog."
The Commander of the Imperial Brocade Guard approached at an unhurried pace, stepping over flowers scattered across the street. "Mm. I'll only be your dog, Shen Ruyao."

An imperial decree arranging their marriage caught them both off guard.
What Shen Ruyao didn't know was that Lu Chenyu had orchestrated everything.
He had set his sights on her when she was still young and naive.
[Little Scene]
On their wedding night, beneath the red bridal canopy:
Shen Ruyao pressed a hand to Lu Chenyu's chest and asked softly, "Lu Chenyu, isn't this... a little strange?"
Lu Chenyu asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Shen Ruyao turned her face away, dodging the kiss he was about to give her. "It just... feels awkward."
"How could it? I've been longing for Miss Shen for a very long time."
