Thoughts of You, and Something to Eat

Lin Nian offended Lord Gu of the Court of Judicial Review.

The reason might be that she had called him a cripple behind his back.

So whenever Lin Nian did something bad, Lord Gu kept catching her in the act.

For example, when she followed her girlfriends onto the roof of someone else's restaurant and accidentally fell off.

Lin Nian put her mind to it and came up with a clever explanation for Lord Gu's behavior at last: he was interested in her.

Lord Gu was handsome and charming, certainly enough to make anyone's heart flutter, but Lin Nian couldn't let a pretty face make her forget her principles.

After agonizing over it for a long time, she decided to make things clear to him. "Lord Gu, I am already engaged to the heir. Although he is a cripple, I cannot go back on my word."

Lord Gu, usually so cool and aloof, stood ramrod straight, then suddenly gave her an amused look. "Lin Nian, my surname is Gu, my given name is Siheng, and my courtesy name is Linzhi. Who is this heir you speak of? What is his name?"

Lin Nian: "...Lord Gu, you heard wrong. I said I'm a cripple!"

Coming next: Peaceful Reign

When Ling Cheng was young and naive, she saw an enemy prince wearing a mask in the main hall. She concluded that this prince sent to marry into her country must be hideously ugly, too ugly to show his face.

On the run from her marriage, she disguised herself as a man and slipped into an inn to drown her sorrows. When she woke the next day, a handsome, dashing man was standing beside her bed, accusing her of being a cut sleeve and of violating his chastity while drunk.

His tone was just like that of an enemy who had come to settle a score.
