After Persuading the Green Tea Prince to Elope

[Blurb]

Li Jian is the most inconspicuous concubine-born daughter of the Shangshu Residence. Who would have guessed that after a banquet one night, someone would trick her into losing her chastity? The other party is merely a steward from the Duke's residence whom she has met once before. If word gets out, they're both doomed.

While he sleeps, Li Jian gathers up her sash and leaves the scene of trouble in the dead of night.

Amid misty rain, she sees him again in her ancestral home in Jinling. The handsome steward has transformed into a newly arrived tutor at the clan school.

Li Jian is about to politely ask him to keep quiet when, through a screen, she learns about his tragic past. From then on, the gentle, refined tutor becomes a pitiful, weak, helpless person in her eyes.

When the prefect's son deliberately gives him a hard time, Li Jian says, "This is the Li clan school. It's not for Young Master Xue to call the shots!"

The eldest Xue son, who was beaten up by Song Yan's men in a sack that night: ?

When the agent renting out a house tries to cheat him out of his money, Li Jian says, "What kind of local thug dares to bully a scholar?"

Prefect Cheng: ?

Behind the rockery, the tutor gazes at her gently. "Miss Seven, you are the pride of a distinguished family. If I were Young Master Xue, I couldn't bear to let you shed even a single tear."

Li Jian: That's true! But how is it that being confined to this little space by this weak, pitiful scholar has made my legs go weak?

-

Her legal mother wants to marry her off to a widower who looks kind but is cruel at heart. At a loss, Li Jian twists her handkerchief, thinks it over and over, then finds Song Yan. "Will you marry me? If you can't... let's elope! My dowry should be enough to support you, at least."

The man looks at her dewy eyes and smiles. "All right."

The next day, an imperial edict granting a marriage arrives at the Li residence. Only then does Li Jian learn that the "tutor," whose birth mother died young and who is treated coldly at home, is actually the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.
