[Silly, sweet romance, with both leads falling for each other]
Three years ago, the entire Yang family, led by the Grand General Who Guards the Nation, was executed.
Three years later, the Yang family's only legitimate daughter is reborn in another person's body and becomes Meng Tian, daughter of the Vice Minister of Personnel, who was abducted from the capital.
By a twist of fate, while escaping, she meets Gu Zhuang, the young prince who is visiting Jinling. With his help, she makes it safely back to the capital.
Unexpectedly, a rumor begins to circulate in the capital: to repay the young prince for saving her life, the Vice Minister of Personnel's daughter is willing to marry him.
At the time, Prince Qi is trying to win over the Vice Minister of Personnel and keeps approaching Meng Tian, much to her annoyance. As it happens, Gu Zhuang is also being pestered by his cousin. To get out of their respective predicaments, they decide to become betrothed in a sham engagement.
They agree to end the engagement once Prince Qi is betrothed and Gu Zhuang's cousin is married off.
Later...
Gu Zhuang never expected that a small favor would end up costing him his whole life.
[Little scenes]
1. After hearing the rumor about marrying him to repay him for saving her life:
The young tyrant at first: Is she trying to get her hands on me? No way. I should stay away from her.
The young tyrant later: Woof! Nuzzle, nuzzle~
2. When the people of the capital hear that the Vice Minister of Personnel's daughter is going to marry the capital's young tyrant, they all shed sympathetic tears for Meng Tian, lamenting that such a lovely flower has been planted in a pile of dog poop.
Meng Tian, the woman in question: There's no need to put it like that. I'm quite happy with him.
The young tyrant: I'm dog poop?
Meng Tian: No, you're not. You're an adorable little puppy.
The young tyrant: Woof?
Meng Tian nods happily: Mm-hmm.
[The heroine seems like a delicate little white rabbit, but is actually beautiful and bold VS the lawless, arrogant, straight-shooting young tyrant of the capital]
P.S.
1. The hero gets to avoid her for a while, then has to suffer through the long road to winning her back.
2. A lighthearted, sweet romance in a fictional setting, with plenty of creative liberties. Don't overanalyze the details.
Theme: Take charge of your own happiness.
