Story blurb:

Princess Lu Youning of Xinning is notorious for being spoiled and domineering. Deeply favored by the emperor, she has always done as she pleases and looked down on everyone. Her reputation is terrible, and all kinds of scandalous rumors about her never stop...

To outsiders, she's a debauched, promiscuous woman, yet men still flock to her and eagerly pursue her.

But one man is different. He stays by her side every day, almost never leaving her, yet always treats her with the utmost respect and never crosses a line.

Lu Youning has always thought the taciturn man at her side was a monk who had renounced worldly desires. Only later did she realize how laughable that idea was.

Shen Chi had never even shown her his true face.

*

When Shen Chi returned, he had not only changed his identity, but his name as well.

Only then did Lu Youning understand that in the three years they'd known each other, she had never truly understood Shen Chi.

Lu Youning gazed at the man standing right before her. His eyes held a surging emotion she couldn't understand, but it was enough to make her go weak all over, without the slightest strength to resist.

"What... are you going to do? I'm already married."

Shen Chi suddenly smiled. "Do you think I care, Princess?"

*

Lu Youning lay on the bed, watching Shen Chi get dressed, lost in thought.

Shen Chi turned and brushed his lips against hers.

"What do you want? Do you think there's any point in carrying on like this?"

Shen Chi said, "Who in the capital doesn't envy you, Princess? A loving couple, respectful and considerate toward each other, a match made in heaven! I'm just the man you have to keep hidden from the world. What do you have to complain about?"

"The Grand Tutor Regretted It"

Story blurb:

In the capital, Pei Yu is currently the most sought-after candidate for a husband.

Not only is he handsome, he's also a newly appointed Grand Tutor with a bright future ahead of him, winning the secret admiration of countless women.

Meng Yuancheng is one of them.

The difference is that Meng Yuancheng's love is so bold and conspicuous that everyone in the city knows about it.

"Princess, as a young lady, you ought to show some restraint."

"If I did, would you like me?"

Other men eagerly court Meng Yuancheng, but she pays them no mind. She insists on pursuing the aloof beauty who never gives her a second glance.

One day, the emperor asked Pei Yu about marriage.

Pei Yu knew exactly what he meant.

"Your servant already has a woman in his heart."

"Though her background is humble, she is gentle and refined, well-read, sensible, and considerate. We understand each other perfectly. If I am to marry, it can only be her."

Behind the curtain, Meng Yuancheng listened as Pei Yu praised another woman again and again, ending with the words that he would marry no one else. The porcelain cup in her hand finally shattered.

She knew he was saying it for her to hear.

*

The princess who used to follow him around all day had disappeared. Pei Yu thought he ought to be happy.

But the day he saw her being so close with another man, it felt as though a piece of his heart had gone missing.

That bright smile no longer belonged to him.

Pei Yu finally understood his own heart.

But the princess would no longer turn back.

Looking at the man blocking her path, Meng Yuancheng couldn't help frowning.

"Why are you blocking my way, Grand Tutor?"

"You didn't use to call me that."
