The Obsessive Minister's Little Princess Is Missing

[Complete]

[New historical romance, She Returns Again, now updating!]

Yuan Qiong can see whether other people like or dislike her.

A red thread appearing on someone's wrist means affection, while a black mark means dislike.

For example, Xu Su, whom she once sent into danger in an enemy kingdom, has no shortage of black threads wrapped around his wrist.

To make up for her childish behavior when she was young, she swallowed her temper and tried to win over this cold and arrogant powerful official.

As they spent their days and nights together, she thought he was finally warming up to her. His many acts of kindness filled her with delight, and before she knew it, her young heart was full of him.

Until he admitted to her face that everything he had done in the past had been calculated.

He remained aloof above it all, just as he did when he pushed her away indifferently. "A powerful official has no heart. Princess, you've given your love to the wrong person."

That night, she snapped the hairpin he had given her and fought back her tears. "Even if Yuan Qiong likes you more than anything, it ends today."

Xu Su had come from hell, and nothing could ever make him look back.

But when the little princess left the royal city, he regretted it for the first time in his life.

When they met again, she was radiant and beautiful, and truly didn't spare him another glance.

But long, thin red threads had already appeared around his wrist, winding around and around like the most obsessive shackle in the world.

Later, he defied the Emperor's command for her and knelt in the pouring rain, having cast away his umbrella.

For her, he also looked back thousands upon thousands of times.

A seemingly upright but secretly devious powerful official x a spoiled yet fiercely protective princess

1. Ten-year age gap, one-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. Sweet romance with a touch of angst. The little princess will grow, and the male lead will humble himself to win her back, devoted and doting.

3. The setting is loosely defined. Don't overthink it.

[Coming soon: After Breaking Off Her Engagement, She Married the Sickly Young Lord. Please add it to your reading list!]

Jiang Jiu Zhuo is a little mute. She looks delicate, but wields her sword fiercely.

The son of the Minister of Justice dislikes that she can't speak and makes a scene in the street, demanding to break off their engagement.

As everyone gathers to watch the commotion, Young Lord Lu Xi Yu inexplicably gets involved.

Lu Xi Yu is a beauty. He's certainly handsome, but he's also frail, sickly, and a womanizer.

She hates dandies like him, but an accident ends up tying them together day after day.

Jiang Jiu Zhuo finds him annoying and always stands off by herself. Lu Xi Yu, on the other hand, loves teasing her with his fan.

Whenever he embarrasses her and she reaches for her sword, he coughs weakly a couple of times. "A Zhuo, why so fierce? I'm sick, so go easy on me."

Jiang Jiu Zhuo is both angry and helpless at his rakish behavior, but he just keeps smiling without the slightest restraint.

Until one day, they encounter a group of ruthless criminals far stronger than her...

His gaze turns icy as he sweeps his fan out to shield her. "A Zhuo, stay back."

Later, those who used to watch the show suddenly discover that the little mute isn't mute, and the sickly beauty isn't sick at all.

One day, the two of them get into another argument.

Inside the room, Lu Xi Yu presses the door shut and blocks her way, his expression so calm that it gives nothing away.

Jiang Jiu Zhuo awkwardly tugs at his sleeve. "Lu Xi Yu, you should smile. You look just like a little wife who's been wronged..."

Lu Xi Yu pauses, then laughs in exasperation. "I'm really getting the short end of the stick. You're always soft-hearted with everyone else, but you never spare me a thought when you keep things from me. And in the end, I can't even manage to keep a stern face."

[So many secret identities. Let's see who gets exposed first.]

[A seemingly carefree, secretly devious gentleman x a formidable, adorable girl who can't be bothered with him]

1. Sweet romance, one-on-one, happy ending.

2. The setting is loosely defined. Don't overthink it.
