A domineering female general vs. a sickly, beautiful prince
Tang Fei, from a matriarchal kingdom, transmigrates to a patriarchal one. Though this kingdom is wrong in every way for her, Tang Fei still meets someone who is very much to her liking.
Scene One:
Tang Fei: "Sir, may I ask where the Prince of Jinling is?"
Bai Zhi: "What do you want with him?"
Tang Fei: "Tea."
Bai Zhi lowered his eyes to the knife at his throat. "Do you bring a knife when you go for tea?"
Tang Fei: "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Bai Zhi pointed casually in a direction. Tang Fei then said, "Sir, you are very handsome. I'd like to bring you into my household. What do you say?"
Bai Zhi looked at the person in men's clothing before him, his heart burning with inexplicable anger. "Sure. I'll come to your door in person tomorrow. Where do you live?"
Tang Fei: "You really know how to go with the flow, sir! My home is the Pei residence, five li from here."
Bai Zhi: "Very well. I'll come to ask for your hand at daybreak." At daybreak, I'll slaughter your whole family.
Scene Two:
Bai Zhi: "Third Young Master Pei? What do you want with me?"
Tang Fei: "I want Your Highness to get to know me better. So I've come to recommend myself, ready to serve you with all my heart."
Bai Zhi: "If you want to be my dog, shouldn't you eat the filth along the street to prove your loyalty? Xiao Pei, you really don't know any better..."
Tang Fei: "..." Becoming Bai Zhi's bodyguard already came with such high standards?
Scene Three:
Their first date.
Tang Fei sat in a chair in bright red military attire, looking utterly relaxed.
Bai Zhi wore a sky-blue Zhu Xi-style robe. He climbed the steps and appeared before her, looking exceptionally refined.
"Ahem." Bai Zhi turned his head away awkwardly and said, "Long time no see."
Tang Fei also took her foot off the chair and sat up properly. "I've missed you terribly!"
Their second date.
Bai Zhi wore a dark blue cross-collar robe with arrow sleeves and a pleated hem. His silver crown was set with a sapphire, and a flexible sword hung at his waist. He looked every bit the dashing hero.
After searching for Tang Fei for ages without finding her, he asked his subordinate, "Have you seen A Ruo?"
His subordinate indicated her with his chin. "The woman in the pale yellow ruqun is her."
Scene Four:
Tang Fei: "A Zhi, let's get married!"
Bai Zhi: "Hmph! You think you're worthy?" He turned gracefully and swept away without a trace.
Tang Fei sighed. Sigh, as expected of a villain. No matter how well I treat him, I can't warm his heart!
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi had only taken a few steps before turning around, his eyes brimming with tears. "You don't mind that I have a short life?"
Theme: Love isn't about owing each other, but about saving each other.
