[Proud, loyal young man x spoiled, dramatic little princess]
Princess Shang Ruofu of Yuanheng was doted on by everyone, growing up spoiled and pampered.
Only those close to her knew she couldn't stand being wronged and was a crybaby. Luckily, her childhood friend was there to comfort her.
When her childhood friend left the capital, Shang Ruofu cried as she saw him off. On her way home, she ran into a proud, unruly young man, Yu Zhaolin, galloping on horseback. They immediately clashed and became enemies from then on.
The young man was sharp-tongued and arrogant. The girl was too clumsy with words to win an argument, so she turned her frustration into writing and penned several popular romance stories using his name. Yu Zhaolin became the laughingstock of the capital and had to cover his face whenever he went out. He was so furious he could grind his teeth.
One day, the little princess fell and hit her head. She forgot everything, except that her husband was Yu Zhaolin.
After she was thrown out of the Yu residence, she stood outside the gates, crying and calling him a faithless, heartless man, drawing a crowd of onlookers.
Yu Zhaolin came out with a dark expression to deal with the situation, only for the soft, delicate young woman to throw herself into his arms. With tears in her eyes, she accused him, "Yu Zhaolin, how could you be so heartless? How could you abandon your wife and child?"

Yu Zhaolin and his elder brother had relied on each other since childhood. When his brother was framed and thrown into prison, Yu Zhaolin begged everyone in the capital for help, but no one dared to assist him. Only Prince Qin was willing, on one condition:
He had to play along with Shang Ruofu and "marry into" the prince's household until she recovered.
The little princess's memories were jumbled, and she would get so caught up in the stories she'd written that she thought she was living in them. Yu Zhaolin kept a straight face as he played various roles with her. What he hadn't expected was that he would get even more carried away than her, and start wishing he could play these roles with her for the rest of his life.
But one day, the little princess suddenly hit her head and regained her old memories. She even disliked him more than before.
The little princess's childhood friend finally returned to the capital, ready to discuss marriage with her.
And Yu Zhaolin was cast aside as soon as she was done with him, like a worn-out shoe.
As the two of them were being lovey-dovey, Yu Zhaolin suddenly showed up with a child and, right in front of her childhood friend, demanded an explanation: "Princess Yuanheng, how could you be so heartless as to abandon your husband and child?"
