Yuan Ying is the only daughter of the Hanlin Academician’s household, cherished by everyone around her.
Her father, Yuan Lingshi, is famous throughout the capital for mentoring two outstanding students.
One is the gentle and affable Heir Rong; the other is Prince Xuan, Qi Jiamu, handsome and aloof.
After her father is falsely accused and imprisoned, Yuan Ying turns to the kind and gentle Heir Rong for help. She is willing to enter his household as a concubine, asking only that he help her father.
But, having seen through the heir’s hypocrisy, the innocent Yuan Ying is poisoned to death.
Reborn, Yuan Ying nestles in the arms of the mother she has regained, wishing only for a peaceful life.
Then she hears that the aloof Prince Xuan has openly defied the imperial decree and wants to marry her as his principal wife?
Yuan Ying looks timidly at Prince Xuan’s cool gaze, tears at the corners of her eyes. “Brother Jiamu, will this save my father?”
Bonus scene:
“Why didn’t you come to me from the start?” His Highness, the exalted Prince Xuan, is still holding a grudge over it.
“You look scary when you don’t smile. I didn’t dare.” Yuan Ying bites her lip and speaks softly.
“What about now? Aren’t you afraid anymore?” Qi Jiamu curls his lips into a smile, then rolls over and presses down on her soft, delicate body.
“Now... you’re even scarier when you smile!” Yuan Ying complains, her face turning red.
