The Prince Is Up and Running Again

[Upcoming school romance, "I Just Can't Help Loving You": a soft girl and a cool guy, falling in love!]

Jiang Ling is the legitimate daughter of the Minister's household, but no one likes her. Everyone thinks she's a jinx and wishes she would die.

When the Third Prince needs a bride to bring him good fortune, they eagerly send her off, expecting to be dragged down with her when the new emperor confiscates the prince's household.

Instead, all they get to see is the Third Prince doting on Jiang Ling, bringing every good thing right to her doorstep.

The noble young ladies of the capital flock to ask her how she keeps her husband in line.

Jiang Ling (with a blank expression): "I'm only his subordinate."

...Sure, keep bragging!

Jiang Ling silently sheds tears: He's only after my fortune-telling skills! He doesn't love me at all!

The Third Prince holds someone dear in his heart. It's a secret he plans to take to his grave.

"I promise you a lifetime of peace and happiness."

It's a promise a dying person cannot keep.

Then he gets better.

Third Prince: "...Wait! This prince's princess consort is mine to spoil!"

An imaginary setting; no need to fact-check. Has the feel of a period drama.

One-on-one sweet romance. The setting serves the plot.

"I Just Can't Help Loving You"

On her first day at her new school, Wen Ya gets a deskmate.

She can't remember his name or what he looks like, but his impressive height terrifies her.

Tall and muscular = hits hurt a lot = don't mess with him.

After a year and a half at school, Lin Su finally gets a deskmate.

Petite and adorable, soft and sweet.

But she's like a hamster: even stretching makes her look like she's about to faint.

Lin Su: "Tsk. I want to ruffle her hair."

Wen Ya: "Oh no, he's raising his hand! He's going to hit me!"

A sweet school romance. The heroine is timid and soft, and only dares squeak at her boyfriend.

The hero really does spoil her, but unfortunately, his girlfriend's brain is tuned to a different frequency.

Theme: Love and responsibility
