Blurb
[The Crown Prince, a sweet-talking schemer who only wants to fall in love x the soft and adorable female official who only wants to build her career]
In Changning, embroidery is treasured. Every year, the kingdom holds a grand competition for embroiderers, which enjoys the same prestige as the imperial examinations for men. The winners can attain official rank up to third grade.
Liu Yiyi fought her way through every round and smoothly claimed first place, earning a position at the palace.
But life in the palace is perilous at every turn, and countless schemes and frame-ups are enough to terrify anyone.
Fortunately, Liu Yiyi runs into Gu Zijin, a guard who once came to her aid. With his help, she overcomes one palace crisis after another and eventually becomes the highest-ranking female official in Changning.
On the day she is formally invested with her title, Liu Yiyi discovers that the young guard is actually standing at the head of the assembled officials, dressed in the Crown Prince's robes. Beaming, he asks the emperor for her hand in marriage, declaring with perfect solemnity, "I must repay the kindness of saving my life by offering myself in return." To prove his sincerity, he adds a promise never to take a concubine.
After their wedding, the two treat each other with respect, and their life together is sweet and fulfilling.
One day, Liu Yiyi catches the Crown Prince showing off the purse she embroidered to the other princes, boasting, "Possessing this is worth more than countless treasures in the world."
At last, Liu Yiyi understands: Oh, so repaying his debt was just an excuse. The Crown Prince is a fan of my career.
