In the eighth year of Yongchang, chaos descends on the capital, and the nobility flees in every direction.
Only Su Jinyu, the pampered flower of the Duke's estate, makes her way to the Prince of Zhenbei's residence, relying on the faintest of family connections.
In her dream, Gu Jue, heir to the Prince of Zhenbei, is a peerless warrior with masterful command, and the future ruler of the realm.
Su Jinyu privately thinks that with her beauty, winning over this cold and taciturn heir should be easy.
In reality, the man before her can't even be bothered to glance her way.
-
Long ago, Gu Jue once stood at a crossroads in Chang'an and saw Su Jinyu from afar. Adorned in jewels and fine clothes, riding in a splendid carriage, she put on the airs of a noble young lady, all delicate affectation, scheming, and vanity.
She was exactly the sort of person he had no patience for.
He never imagined that one day he would place the entire realm at her feet, just to see her smile.
A little scene:
Content warning: The heroine is a pampered drama queen who never grovels. She pursues the hero by bluffing her way through everything, a master of the art of deception.
#The future emperor gets his comeuppance every day#
Both leads are each other's first and only partners. No harem.
The characters aren't perfect.
I couldn't think of a title, so this is what I'm calling it for now.
