The Sixth Princess had always been proud and willful.
Then one day, Meng Yu returned victorious from years of campaigning abroad.
The Sixth Princess stood atop the city wall, gazing down at the man below, handsome and refined in his white robes and silver armor.
She found herself clutching the hem of her clothes, her cheeks turning red...
The next day, in the imperial study, the emperor sighed as he looked at the Sixth Princess.
"My girl, it's hopeless. I had someone discreetly sound him out, and the general flat-out refused. He'd rather die than become a royal consort."
The Sixth Princess lifted her chin. "Hmph..."
Some time later, a new maid appeared at the General's residence.
The maid was unruly and knew how to do nothing but cause trouble.
Everyone in the household was at their wits' end and went to the general to complain about her.
He agreed with them on the surface, but inwardly he could only lament.
"How can I punish her? She bullies me every single day. Who can I turn to for justice?"
When night fell, Meng Yu held the soft, delicate figure in his arms.
After showering her with every kind of tenderness,
he pleaded, "Xiao Liu, stop making trouble. Will you marry me?"
"Hmph..."
The only reply he got was that same proud, coy little sound.
A proud and unruly princess / an ascetic general. A sweet romance.

The head of the Xiao family of Lingzhou met a young maid in the library.
The maid had a face like a blooming flower and a waist as slender as a willow.
Her almond-shaped eyes glimmered, like the rippling light of spring.
She was bewitching.
Xiao Junqian had always been cold and aloof, never showing his emotions.
But that day, not only did he speak to her for the first time, he also blushed suspiciously.
Afterward, a bright and lovely touch of spring appeared in his private quarters,
and Xiao Junqian began spending more and more time at home.
He thought he would go on living with her soft warmth in his arms,
but unexpectedly, the little maid suddenly left the Xiao household without warning.
Like a kite with its string cut, she vanished without a trace...
When they met again, she was a wealthy young lady in the capital, dressed in finery and carrying herself with poise.
Xiao Junqian, who had been half-mad for over six months, advanced step by step until he stood before her, then reached out and gripped her slender, pale neck.
Xiao Junqian: You drew me in, used me, tricked me out of my heart and my body, and now you want to call it even? How can you expect to get off that easily?
Qiao Ling'er: Th-then... what do you want?
Xiao Junqian (through gritted teeth): You... take... responsibility!
