Bowing to the Princess

Shen Yishu is a delicate, lovely little princess, adored by everyone in the Sui Dynasty.

When she was ten, she was kidnapped by villains and casually rescued by Wei Jingci.

The young man, sword in one hand, tore through the darkness like a beam of light.

From that moment on, the name Wei Jingci took root in Shen Yishu's heart.

When he was alone, she would leave the banquet to cheer him up.

When he entertained guests, she would make clear soup and bring it to him.

When he was away on a campaign, she would wait for his return on the city wall.

When he was seriously injured, she was willing to use her own blood to save him.

She didn't mind that he didn't love her. After all, the pavilion nearest the water gets the moon first, and Shen Yishu was quite content.

One day, as usual, she happily brought him a newly embroidered sachet, only for him to coldly brush it aside.

"Your Highness, please show some restraint." The man's voice was icy, and Shen Yishu almost couldn't keep smiling.

It was all right. He treated everyone that way. At least she could still be near him.

That was how she comforted herself.

Then one day, as she went to see him as usual, she saw her close friend from her maiden days crying in his arms.

"Your Highness, I don't want to marry off in the princess's place."

Behind the ornamental rocks, Shen Yishu's smile instantly froze.

In that moment, she felt like the villain in a storybook who broke up a couple.

The Wei family's ancestors helped the founding emperor claim the throne. Wei Jingci, too, is a prince of a different surname and regent, second only to the emperor and above all others. The Outcast

He is steady and self-possessed, unmoved by anything.

Until the day in the Golden Throne Hall when he sees the little girl who used to follow behind him like a little tail. Now she wears splendid robes and an ornate headdress, her eyes lowered, every movement exquisitely graceful.

"I, your daughter, am willing to marry for the sake of Great Sui," the young woman says in a voice as clear as song.

Wei Jingci abruptly looks up.

He panics.
