Shen Jingxing, heir to the Duke of Dingguo, was famous for his arrogance and overbearing ways. Everyone in the capital hated him, but the Duke of Dingguo's household wielded immense power, so they could only retreat and avoid him, afraid of provoking the menace.
Yet the Fourth Miss of the Anping Marquis's household kept running into him. Xue Si was famous in the capital for being just as willful and haughty, and after a disagreement over a painting, she declared that she and Shen Jingxing would be enemies for life!
That very night, Xue Lingyi had a dream:
Her archenemy became emperor, while her family fell into poverty and was trampled by everyone.
Xue Lingyi: I could swear!
After a long moment of thought, she gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and decided to swallow her pride and cling to her archenemy.
Her archenemy mocked her, and she graciously let it slide.
Her archenemy snatched her things, and she gladly handed them over.
Her archenemy confessed his love to her, and she...
Wait! Confessed his love?!
She suddenly realized that her archenemy seemed to have misunderstood something...
*
Shen Jingxing noticed that Xue Lingyi had changed. When she saw him, there was actually a smile on her face, and she kept trying to win him over.
He gave it serious thought and decided the girl must be in love with him!
Looking at her radiant face, Shen Jingxing clicked his tongue softly and accepted his fate.
"Well..." The usually arrogant heir to the Duke of Dingguo cleared his throat twice and turned his head away, his voice awkward. "I know you're in love with me, so I'll reluctantly accept you."
Xue Lingyi fell silent. "...I think you may have misunderstood something."
The man was adamant. "Impossible!"
Xue Lingyi: "..."
But after careful consideration, Xue Lingyi decided to reluctantly accept the golden thigh that had stretched out toward her of its own accord.
Not long after, however, she was horrified to discover that she'd mistaken him for someone else! The person in her dream wasn't her archenemy at all!
Xue Lingyi nearly spat blood. With bitter regret, she wanted to find another golden thigh to cling to.
Who knew her archenemy would fly into a rage, grip her waist tightly, and demand in a fierce voice, "Are you trying to take it back?!"
Xue Lingyi: Help! What do I do if I picked the wrong golden thigh?!
Roughly speaking: A man who wants to be a spoiled wastrel but changes for love, and loves to read too much into things, X a heroine who wants to be a spoiled wastrel but accidentally becomes empress.
