■ One-sentence summary

I thought I was hiding it well, but it turns out my whole family knows I'm secretly dating.

■ Blurb

Jiang Peipei was born with skin like ice and bones like jade. The only legitimate daughter of the Duke of Jiang's household, she was kept hidden away because of her frail health and could not go out. Her only friend was the young master who lived in the neighboring courtyard.

That young master was cold-faced and taciturn, but kindhearted. Jiang Peipei often climbed over the courtyard wall to secretly chat with him.

Later, that young master said he was leaving and promised to come to her door and marry her when he returned.

﹉﹉﹉

Everyone knew that Jiang Peipei, the only noble young lady in the Duke of Jiang's household, was spoiled and had turned down one marriage proposal after another.

Until one day, a young general returned victorious, and the emperor issued an edict arranging their marriage.

That day, Jiang Peipei cried to her father, "I'd rather die than get married!"

Just then, a familiar voice sounded: "What if it's me?"

Jiang Peipei froze and looked up. Wasn't this the young master from next door?

The general, rumored to be cold-faced and cold-hearted, gazed at her with nothing but tenderness in his eyes.

Fu Huai chuckled softly and coaxed her, "What if you're marrying me?"

Right away! I'll marry you!

Dark-skinned, cold-faced marquis x bright and charming little princess

Jin Mushi is the most beloved little princess in the Jin Kingdom. The cold-faced little shadow following her around is her distinctive trademark. When she became engaged to the son of Chancellor Wang, she began taking her young companion along everywhere to follow him and shower him with attention.

One day, rumors spread throughout the capital: "Have you heard? Young Master Wang is going to marry his maternal cousin. He personally went before the emperor to break off the engagement."

"I don't believe it. She's a princess! Is Young Master Wang blind?"

"I can confirm it's true." Everyone turned around. The little princess stood not far away, smiling at them, with her cold-faced young companion beside her as usual.

The companion wore a stony expression, but was covered in little trinkets that girls loved. His eyes were full of tenderness and affection.

"The princess naturally deserves someone better, such as me."

Li Jingmo has a secret: he likes the little princess in the palace, who grew up with him. The princess is already engaged, but her fiancé is truly not a suitable match.

The little princess says, "Little Li, take this lunch box to him for me."

He turns around and eats it himself.

The little princess says, "Little Li, hold me higher. I can't see."

He pretends to be weak all over. "Princess, I truly have no strength."

After the little princess is jilted, she asks through tear-filled eyes, "Little Li, does nobody love me?"

He gently brushes away her tears. "I love you, Your Highness. I love you to the depths of my bones!"
