The Princess Is Hard to Tame

His Majesty's beloved daughter, Princess Chaoning, loved martial arts. Since childhood, she had beaten up every young nobleman in the capital, one by one.

When Princess Chaoning came of age, His Majesty decided to find her a husband.

One day at court, the emperor said, “My princess is adorable and sweet. I wish to choose a young man to marry her. Do any of you have someone in mind?”

The ministers all shook their heads furiously inside, then replied, “Princess Chaoning is of such noble status that none of our sons is worthy of marrying her.”

His Majesty was very pleased, because he thought so too.

But what could he do? The princess was of age and needed to get married!

So the emperor ordered the eligible sons of the regional princes to come to the capital for an audience, and let the princess choose for herself.

The princess chose the Prince of Rong's heir from Yingdu, simply because he was so handsome that she liked him very much.

When the ministers heard the news, they all shed a tear for the Prince of Rong's heir, who had suffered this “misfortune” because of his good looks.

They heard that he was frail and often needed a wheelchair even to get around. How many days could he withstand the princess's rough treatment?

[The Not-So-Serious Synopsis]

“Lord Shen, have you ever touched the moon?”

“No.”

“Would you like to try?”

“...I'd like to hear how.”

She led Shen Shu to the riverbank, took his hand, and touched the water's surface. A chill swiftly spread from their fingertips as ripples fanned out in circles.

Her laughter rang in his ears, tingling and ticklish, like ants crawling over him.

Shen Shu would always remember the first time he “touched” the moon. It tickled.

[The Serious Synopsis]

Jiang Si had known since childhood that she was beautiful, beautiful enough to take your breath away at first sight.

But there was one person who remained blind to her beauty, yet was obliged to protect her at all costs.

Her rebellious streak kicked in, and she was determined to tease him.

She tried every trick in the book, but that block of stone wouldn't budge. Eventually, her rebellious streak faded, too.

Then a fire broke out unexpectedly at a palace banquet. Trapped inside the hall, she was nearly overcome by the thick smoke.

But then she saw him frantically calling her name. The moment he found her, he rushed over and carried her to safety.

Once they were out, she couldn't help crying, her voice soft and coquettish. “Shen Shu, what took you so long...”

Shen Shu was as cool as ever, but his hand was much gentler as he wiped her face, and he tried to comfort her with words that still sounded awkward.

Jiang Si thought, I've got you this time, haven't I?

[The Pretend-Serious Synopsis]

Everyone said Shen Shu was aloof and ruthless, never one to show a woman tenderness, and that he would never know the pleasures of love in this lifetime.

Shen Shu scoffed. Romance was nothing but a game between men and women.

But he never expected a young woman to use her beauty as a weapon and repeatedly push her luck with him.

She took him to touch the moon, only to make him fall into the river and catch a cold.

She built a bamboo raft and invited him out on the lake. The raft was unstable, making his already-unrecovered cold even worse.

In little more than half a month, her misdeeds had piled up beyond counting!

Yet Shen Shu couldn't understand. Had he spent too much time in the water and damaged his brain?

His heart was filled to the brim with thoughts of her.

After they parted, Shen Shu understood for the first time in his life what it meant to be haunted by someone's memory.

When he saw her again, he couldn't help following her with his eyes.

He would try to find ways to get a little closer to her, then a little closer still.

Shen Shu: This game between men and women isn't entirely without merit!

Later, when a fire broke out at a palace banquet, he searched everywhere for her and nearly went mad.

Once he rescued her, he stopped hiding his feelings and tried to soothe her with clumsy sweet nothings.

Looking at her tears, which still held a trace of slyness, Shen Shu could almost picture her bossing him around in the future.

Oh, well. She's the little tyrant he spoiled himself. He might as well accept it.
