Synopsis
Ke Hengyin transmigrated as a commandery princess, but one from a fallen kingdom. She opened her eyes on the third day of the original body's hunger strike. A group of elderly ministers knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces as they begged her to seduce Pei Yun, the general of the new dynasty, in hopes of restoring their kingdom. Dizzy with hunger, she nodded without hesitation. “All right, I agree.” Staying alive was more important than anything else. The ministers were moved to tears and summoned a governess for her that very night. Ke Hengyin studied seduction for seven days. The governess went from teaching with great expectations to complete numbness, until she finally gave up in despair. “Your Highness, I've spent thirty years teaching women how to charm men, but I've never seen anyone like you... Forget it. We'll leave it to fate.” On their wedding night, her groom lifted the red curtain. Ke Hengyin held it in for a long moment, then let out a thunderous sneeze that wiped away every trace of romance in the room. She braced herself and put an arm around her groom's shoulder, giving him a friendly pat. “Um... I didn't do that on purpose.” Then she boldly yanked open her robe, moving with the ferocity of a beast! The cold-faced general's ears turned bright red, and he spun around and fled through the door! Her first attempt at seduction ended in disastrous failure. Ke Hengyin tried again, turning her attention to the kitchen and preparing a whole food box of lamb and scallion dumplings. Pei Yun stared at the dumplings, deep in thought. A sheltered commandery princess had personally cooked for him, spending the whole day at it? That was suspicious. Over the next few days, Ke Hengyin's daily activities included popping her head out from behind a pile of hay in the stables to scare Pei Yun, preparing bathwater hot enough to strip the hair off a pig, and bruising him from head to toe under the pretext of “massaging his back and legs.” Pei Yun finally couldn't take it anymore and made her an offer. “All right, that's enough. You've scared me. You can come and go as you please in the general's residence, but you have to stay away from me.” Alas, even a femme fatale needs talent. Ke Hengyin looked on the verge of tears, then turned around and went shopping with the silver she'd stashed away. Later, Pei Yun reluctantly realized that Ke Hengyin was suspicious in every way, yet somehow... he couldn't take his eyes off her. Then, one day, Ke Hengyin went out into the street to play the hero and beat up a bully. She suddenly looked up and saw that Pei Yun had been watching for who knew how long. They stared at each other across a narrow alley, one suspicious, the other guilty. The wind stirred their sleeves, and neither spoke first. Looking at him, Ke Hengyin thought: It's over. My seduction failed, and now he's seen my martial arts skills. But Pei Yun only smiled and took a few leisurely steps toward her. “I had no idea you were so skilled... That's actually pretty interesting.” Ke Hengyin: “...” General, so this is your type!
