The First Day of the Fourth Month

Above the high mountains, beneath the bright moon, my heart is clear as day. I admire only Zhenzhen.

[Scheming Regent King x Cool, Beautiful Lady with a Hidden Dark Side]

The Regent King, whom even the young emperor must address as "Royal Uncle," brought an unfavored legitimate daughter of a marquis into his manor. In his study, the lovely young woman lifted his chin and smiled with dazzling charm, then asked softly, "My lord, since we're only putting on an act, why not make it a little more convincing?"

On the day the Regent King set out for battle, the young woman leaned close to his ear and whispered, "My lord, shall we make this fake romance real? I'll wait for you to come back..." From then on, Baishu helped him guard the entire city of Shengjing. She kept watch for six months, and at last discovered the truth about herself.

A little scene:

After climbing into the carriage, Baishu leaned against Mu Liangyan and soon drifted off. In that brief moment of rest, she fell into a dream, a long and beautiful one.

When she opened her eyes again, it was to Mu Liangyan calling her softly again and again. She gazed blearily at the man before her and realized she had been sleeping in his arms the whole time. Mu Liangyan gently rubbed her temples and said softly, "Awake now, sleepy kitten?"

Baishu held his hand and nodded, her reply sweet and drowsy.

"Wake up properly. We'll be there soon." Mu Liangyan took a plum candy from the box behind him and slipped it into Baishu's mouth. "Early-rising Baishu gets candy..." Baishu murmured a soft acknowledgment, leaned against Mu Liangyan's shoulder again, and quietly closed her eyes.

Core theme: I behold a gentleman, and my admiration has never faded.
