Lu Jiangnuan was a delicate young lady from an official family. She smiled sweetly and batted her bright eyes with every graceful gesture, looking so frail she couldn't lift a finger.
...But it was all an act!
She'd put up with it for far too long. Life was so dull that every so often she needed to find a discreet moment to let off a little steam.
Which young lady in the capital didn't adore the graceful, moon-bright Crown Prince?
One day, Lu Jiangnuan pretended to fight with the other young ladies over the Crown Prince, pulling at their hair.
A certain heir to a noble title happened to pass by and sighed. "If I were my Crown Prince elder brother, I would never make a young lady sit alone and cry."
Lu Jiangnuan: ...?
Those girls were crying because I'd scratched up their faces. Did you really not see that, sir?
Cen Mian, heir to the Prince of Wei, was known as the sickly crane among the willows. Aside from his congenital frailty, his astonishingly ethereal beauty was famous far and wide.
It was a shame that Heaven was jealous of beauty. Such a fine face, yet he might not live long enough to inherit his title.
Cen Mian once thought the world was dull, full of people scrambling for their own gain, and that the vast wealth within his reach was filthy.
Until he discovered someone interesting.
The first time he saw her, he noticed how nimble she was.
The second time, she pretended to be proper while scratching up her companions' faces.
The third time, she got drunk and accidentally fell right into his lap...
That day, the Crown Prince invited Lu Jiangnuan to spend a private evening together beneath the moon and flowers.
The ailing heir leaned against the window of a painted boat. "You mustn't argue with the Crown Prince. He's a decent man, he just doesn't understand you at all."
Lu Jiangnuan was tipsy. ? That's kind of true. But still, the Crown Prince lost at a drinking game and should have toasted me!
The Crown Prince, left out to the side: "..."
At first, Cen Mian only wanted to tease an interesting person in this unpredictable world.
Later, he called her name again and again, longing to stay by her side for all their lives, in every lifetime.
"A tough little sweetheart who hides her strength behind a gentle act vs. a frail, ethereal, green-tea beauty of an heir"
