Chen Jiujiu had lived a smooth, comfortable life until she was fifteen, when she was suddenly told that her elder sister, who had been lost as a child, had been found. At her sister's request, the marriage between Chen Jiujiu and Prince Qi, Xiao Yuan, was supposed to be transferred to her sister.
Chen Jiujiu didn't have much to say about it.
Xiao Yuan was handsome and a leading contender for the crown prince, but he was cold and cruel-tempered, with a vicious tongue. Most of all! Chen Jiujiu even suspected he hated women. She had never once seen him show the slightest warmth toward any woman.
She assumed Xiao Yuan didn't like her either, so breaking off the engagement would suit him just fine.
Who could have guessed that one dark and windy night, the usually dignified and aloof Prince Qi would climb over her family's wall with a small bundle slung over his shoulder, then whisper to her with a mysterious air, "I still want to marry you. How about... we elope?"
Reading guide: 1. My usual fare: a silly comedy.
2. No impostor heiresses. Both the female lead and the second female lead are true heiresses and sisters.
3. Adorable, food-loving, charming young heiress vs. icy, devoted prince who thinks he can take on the world.
4. Both leads are each other's first and only. One-on-one romance, with no consorts, concubines, maids, mistresses, or anything of the sort.
Theme: I love you, regardless of your status.
