Liu Yueyao, the prime minister's daughter, had captivating eyes and a pliant figure. She had been delicate and frail since childhood and needed meticulous care. But her birth mother died young, and the prime minister feared he could not look after her properly, so he sent her to her maternal grandparents' home in Jiangnan. She would return to the capital after her coming-of-age ceremony.
Ten years later, the young lady returned to the capital and caused a sensation. Her beauty and reputation for talent had spread from distant Jiangnan to the capital, and everyone was desperate for a chance to see her.
Yet no one knew that the prime minister's daughter, an unattainable beauty as if descended from heaven, had once secretly taken in a little beggar. Day and night, the beggar knelt beside her bed, pleading for the goddess's mercy.
At the Grand Princess's birthday celebration, Liu Yueyao saw a profile in the garden that looked remarkably like that little beggar. The face was strikingly beautiful, with a wicked, flamboyant charm. But when he saw Liu Yueyao, he toyed with his folding fan and teased her frivolously: "My lord, that look in your eyes is positively ravenous."
Liu Yueyao pressed her lips together and turned to leave.
They say the prime minister wants to find a husband for his beloved daughter, caring nothing for rank and judging only a man's character. After the news spread, suitors trampled the prime minister's doorstep, and the young lady received invitations from different talented young men every day.
After a few drinks, the young master of the general's residence boasted that he would marry the goddess and bring her home. A certain someone darkened his expression and threatened in a low voice, "She's mine." She always has been.
Before long, the idle prince, who had always treated life as a game and accomplished nothing, began attending court and even leading troops into battle...
At the back of a temple, Liu Yueyao was suddenly held captive in a broad embrace. A seductive voice whispered in her ear: "Be good, Yue'er. Your prince still wants to overstep his station."
P.S. A sharp tongue is fun for a moment, but winning her back is a long, painful road.
Delicate, frail, magnanimous young lady x scheming, shameless prince
