Charming Princess x Aloof Gentleman

Eleven years ago, the Lu household was accused of treason and plotting rebellion. The once-renowned General's residence was destroyed in a single day, and many officials and nobles who pleaded on its behalf were demoted or exiled, including the Prince of Jing's household, long on friendly terms with the Lus.

As the emperor's younger brother, the Prince of Jing was condemned as stubborn, intransigent, and a rebel sympathizer. Such were the words people dared to say about his household, while no one dared mention his former kindness and generosity.

Eleven years later, the Prince of Jing passed away. On a spring day thick with rain and mist, his heir, Li Qingchi, returned to the capital, Jingling, by imperial decree. He had no official post or noble title, and on his very first day in the city, news spread that he had been attacked. Like a stone dropped into water, the news sank into a treacherous undercurrent.

Li Yunmiao was the most doted-on of the emperor's six princesses. At a banquet, she gazed at this cousin she had not seen in years, seized by an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"His eyes are so calm, like an ancient well without a ripple. I wonder if there's ever a moment when he loses his composure?"

When they had run into each other outside the capital a few days earlier, she hadn't known Li Qingchi's identity. She had even assured him, "You can rest easy, sir. I keep my word and never go back on a promise."

Li Qingchi held the jade pendant in his hand and curled his lips into a faint smile. "Have you truly never broken a promise?"

After the injustice that had weighed on him for years was finally righted, he heard Li Yunmiao mumble drunkenly, "Would you dare marry me?"

Firelight flickered in his eyes, and they were no longer calm and untroubled as before. He lifted her face and asked, "Ranran, look carefully. Do you know who I really am?"

Tips:

1. Sweet romance, happy ending. The leads are not blood-related.

2. The plot takes precedence in the early chapters; romance takes up more of the story later on. Plenty of sweetness!

3. The setting is whatever I feel like. Enjoy reading, love and peace!

Theme: The only way to cultivate oneself in this mortal world is through love.
