The Dandy Rose to the Highest Office

Luo Zheng, the Crown Prince's study companion, was truly the capital's number one wastrel. With a face that could ruin a kingdom, she was outrageous in her behavior and quick-witted in speech, capable of infuriating a whole group of pedantic old ministers.

But no one knew she was a woman.

When floods ravaged the land, Luo Zheng accompanied the Crown Prince to help control the waters. She was swept away by the raging flood, but fortunately, a handsome young gentleman with the looks of an immortal saved her.

The young gentleman was flawless as white jade, a frail beauty who seemed untouched by worldly concerns. He was also shy, and she could make his ears turn red every time, though he still kept up his cool, aloof appearance.

Unfortunately, before long, the Crown Prince's guards finally found the long-missing Luo Zheng and ordered her to return at once.

Luo Zheng had no choice but to play the fickle young lady and share a brief fling with the cool, aloof gentleman...

Night fell, and the city was alive with song and dance.

The young lord Luo Zheng was tipsy. As the music of strings and pipes drifted by, she heard someone say that the son of Chancellor Wen, who had spent years recuperating outside the capital, had arrived.

With bleary eyes, Luo Zheng looked at the newcomer and found his face strangely familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

When she sobered up, Luo Zheng regretted everything and nearly spat up blood.

It turned out the immortal-like gentleman she'd once had a fling with was the son of Chancellor Wen, her father's sworn enemy!

What a disaster!
