The Princess Must Marry

When Zhao Jinyi, the youngest princess of Tianqi, was choosing a husband, Lin Zi'an was the most popular candidate among the young men of the capital. When Lin Zi'an heard this, he slapped the table and told his ne'er-do-well friends, "The men of the Lin family are born to serve their country. I'd rather castrate myself and become a eunuch who cleans out the nightsoil than marry a princess!" Later, at a palace banquet, the little princess called him "Little General" in a sweet, teary voice and asked him to bring down the white cat in the tree. After that, he couldn't take his eyes off her. A year later, on the eve of the final decision about the princess's husband, Lin Zi'an secretly went to see Zhao Jinyi. "Do you know what to say tomorrow?" Zhao Jinyi said, "I'll marry anyone but that awful man who'd rather clean out the nightsoil than marry me." So Lin Zi'an kissed her in a fit of pique... and spent the rest of their lives cherishing her. 1. Fictional setting with original details. Please don't nitpick historical accuracy. 2.

As the eldest princess, Xie Mian had always gotten everything she wanted and looked down on everyone. Yet she died on the rainy night the new emperor ascended the throne. Reborn, she resolved not to oppose that tyrant and meet a death that left no body behind. Her younger brother was weak, so she immediately sent him tonics. He was always getting hurt, so she personally treated his wounds. He knew nothing about women, so she hurriedly sent him beautiful palace maids. He wanted to rebel, so she tearfully handed over her private fortune... Xie Mian cautiously waited for her younger brother to ascend the throne, hoping he'd find her a good husband. To her utter shock, she'd saved her life, only to be moved into her younger brother's bedchamber. Clutching her thin veil, Xie Mian kept backing away. "W-what are you going to do?" Her younger brother buried his face in her neck and bit her. "Sister, I only want you." Theme: Let go of prejudice to find happiness
