The Crown Prince has an embarrassing secret: he's fallen in love at first sight, or rather, at second sight, with the new magistrate posted to the frontier!
In the end, the Crown Prince overcomes his hesitation and decides to give the magistrate a gift to show how much he likes him.
Crown Prince: What should I give him?
Advisor One: When giving a gift, you should choose something the recipient likes.
Crown Prince: Good point. What do you think Chen Si likes?
Advisor Two: I've noticed Young Master Chen likes buying clothes for his maid...
The new magistrate, Chen Si, has a bad feeling that she's in big trouble. Lately, people have been sending women's clothes to the government office, and the clothes are all... ugly.
Has someone found out she's a woman disguised as a man and decided to humiliate her?
Should she find out who it is and "get rid of" them?
[An upcoming historical romance: Marry a Different Big Shot]
Cui Zishu thought she had married the man she loved, and stood by him as he rose from top scholar to the position of Right Chancellor. Only after her death did she learn that her heart had been given to the wrong person. Her "beloved" had always cared only for power. To bring down the Left Chancellor, whose political views clashed with his own, he poisoned her and married someone else who could help him.
It was as if a lifetime had passed when she returned to the moment their engagement was first arranged.
Cui Zishu refuses to be his stepping stone again. Let someone else do it if they want to.
But she needs a good reason to break off the engagement...
Cui Zishu sets her sights on the man who will eventually become Left Chancellor. After all, even when he reaches that position, he has neither wife nor concubines.
With someone else's help, she sets up a simple scheme. In front of him, she acts sweet and obedient, pretending to be weak and easy to bully. "I... I was already promised to someone, but now that I've been intimate with you, my lord, what am I supposed to do...?"
Feng Mingji hates it when women cry. But looking at the sorrowful woman before him, on the verge of tears, he can't help feeling a little sympathy. "Break off that engagement. I'll marry you."
