This story will be completely rewritten.
Recently, all of the capital has been abuzz with the news:
The Chancellor's chronically ill third daughter has married the notoriously womanizing Prince Zhao. They're said to be a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
But after getting to know one another, the prince is left wondering:
Who can tell him why his wife can kill wolves and capture tigers, and fly through the air and burrow underground?
And the third daughter, who can kill wolves and capture tigers, is just as baffled. Why can the notoriously womanizing prince lead troops into battle and excel at poetry and music, yet knows nothing about the wedding night?
"Should we... find a storybook and have a look?"
"Silence. This prince can figure it out on his own!"
You pretend, I pretend. This black-hearted couple is constantly on the verge of having their true identities exposed.
[The serious synopsis]
For the first decade and a half of her life, Ji Li lived a lie her father had made up. He trained her in martial arts and letters, using her as a pawn, then decisively abandoned her when danger came.
No one ever asks a chess piece if it wants to be placed on the board, until he arrives.
He tells her, "A Li, be yourself."
Wei Xi originally only meant to win his princess over to his side, but never expected to get himself entangled along the way.
In his life, he has seen countless beauties, each as fleeting as a cloud, gone in the blink of an eye.
But on the night of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, amid the crowds and beneath thousands of Kongming lanterns, she looked back at him from afar. At last, he surrendered to his own heart.
It was you.
It had to be you.
