The Camellia Debt (Female-Dominant World)

[A seemingly frivolous and flirtatious noblewoman who is actually devoted to her country × A seemingly wanton but actually pure-hearted and fiery young man]

Ji Cheng is the only daughter of the Prince of Yue, the Great Zhou's sole prince with a different surname. Handsome and graceful, at eighteen she risks everything to search for a manual of spear techniques in Tuimi Mountain, Qiongzhou, only to have her path crossed by a dark-skinned young rascal.

The young rascal is beautiful and fiery, speaks bluntly, and has none of the reserve and propriety expected of a man. He is always openly flirting with her.

"Ah, it's so cold today. I wonder if some lovely lady might hold my hand..."

"Lady Ji, I've made you chicken soup. It's pheasant soup, you know. Perfect for building up your strength..."

Ji Cheng (eyeing the soup and someone's plunging neckline, she swallows): "Actually, I like the virtuous husband type..."

As luck would have it, the young rascal's mother has the spear manual in her possession.

To make a copy of it, Ji Cheng has no choice but to propose marriage. But less than half a month later, she makes a quick getaway and heads back to the capital.

Later, the young rascal suddenly shows up at her engagement banquet with the imperial consort Jiafu, causes a huge scene, and brings disgrace upon the Prince of Yue's household. Ji Cheng is punished by being sent to the border.

With the country in peril and its very survival at stake, she chooses to carry on her mother's legacy, staining her frosty blade with blood and wielding her spear across the land.

One day, she suddenly realizes that the deputy general who has risked life and limb for her is looking more and more like him...

Ji Cheng (through gritted teeth): "You're like a ghost that just won't leave me alone!"

The young rascal (eyes bloodshot): "Even in death, you won't be rid of me!"
