A spoiled, sunny Grand Tutor's daughter x a cool-headed, scheming heir from a military family
Childhood sweethearts | 1v1, both chaste | HE | A little political intrigue
Everyone in the capital knows that Grand Tutor Shen's family has upheld its scholarly legacy for generations and is known for honesty and integrity. The only exception is their little "bratty troublemaker."
Shen Ruyao, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor's household, was pampered by her parents from childhood. Willful and unruly, she was the little girl no one in the capital dared provoke.
Everyone says Lu Chenyu is ruthless and decisive, cruel in his actions, and nothing but a lackey of the current emperor.
Shen Ruyao heard this and thought they had it all wrong. At a poetry banquet in the palace, she declared without restraint, "Lu Chenyu can only be my dog."
The Embroidered Uniform Guard's commander stepped slowly over the flower-strewn street. "Yes. I'll be your dog, and yours alone, Shen Ruyao."

Shen Ruyao understands Lu Chenyu's guilt, and Lu Chenyu knows how hard things have been for Shen Ruyao.
[Little Scene]
On their wedding night.
Shen Ruyao pressed a hand against Lu Chenyu's chest and asked softly, "Lu Chenyu, isn't this... a little wrong?"
Lu Chenyu asked in confusion, "Why?"
Shen Ruyao turned her face away to dodge the kiss he was about to give her. "It's just... rather awkward."
"How could it be? I've been longing for you for a very, very long time, Miss Shen."
