Visit my author page for the synopses~] [Mischievous, tsundere young prince x spirited, charming young lady] Dominant and tsundere x naturally oblivious As the legitimate daughter of a great general, Huo Lingyi has no shortage of marriage prospects. What she lacks is someone she likes. After finally taking a fancy to the top scholar, she hadn't even had time to make a move when she heard the Emperor intended to arrange her marriage to Prince Jing, Yue Shaoheng. Everyone knew she and Yue Shaoheng were sworn enemies. They bickered in public and tripped each other up in private, never letting the other get away with anything. How could they be forced into an ill-fated marriage? Fortunately, Yue Shaoheng wasn't interested in her either. He already had a beauty by his side. The threat to their wedding plans had barely passed, and before they could congratulate each other, his beauty and the man she loved fell for each other at first sight. Yue Shaoheng: ... Huo Lingyi: ... The young prince was a little menace. He sneered at her, “Your Meng has long legs. He can keep two women on the line.” The young lady gave as good as she got. “Your Miss Liu has decent taste. She knows better than to choose you.” After the argument came disappointment and resentment. These two fellow sufferers exchanged a look, then decided to join forces to keep their respective love interests apart. * During the festival procession, all four of them wore masks. Huo Lingyi had already figured out which man was which, so in the crowd she took the “top scholar” by the hand. As they confessed their feelings, the “top scholar” took off his mask. It was Yue Shaoheng, who had swooped in at the last moment and tricked her. Huo Lingyi: What is wrong with him! A boat trip on the lake naturally called for someone to fall overboard. This time, the unlucky ones were her and Yue Shaoheng. Huo Lingyi couldn't swim and nearly drowned. When she opened her eyes, her little nemesis was red-eyed, mouth pressed to hers as he breathed air into her lungs. Then he wanted her to repay him by marrying him. Huo Lingyi: He certainly thinks highly of himself! At some point, her little nemesis began looking at her more and more strangely, and with increasingly unambiguous affection. Huo Lingyi: So what if we kissed? Is it really that big a deal? * After all their twists and turns, the imperial decree arranging their marriage still landed on their heads. Outsiders said the young prince was being forced to marry the eldest daughter of the Huo family, but Yue Shaoheng had gone to tremendous lengths to get the decree issued again. When Huo Lingyi returned to her family home after the wedding, she pressed him: “Why me?” Yue Shaoheng laughed. “Why not you? It's always been you.” He had never told her that she was the one he had always loved. She just couldn't see him. It had taken every ounce of effort he had to turn her gaze until it rested on him alone. [Reader's guide]: 1. One-on-one, both are each other's first and only, bickering lovers. 2.

Only those closest to her know that she can't stand being upset and cries easily. Luckily, her childhood friend is 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 Yu Zhaolin, a proud, unruly young man on horseback, and the two became enemies from that day on. The boy was sharp-tongued and arrogant. The girl was too tongue-tied to win an argument, so she'd cry instead. She turned her indignation into ink, writing several wildly popular romantic stories set in the capital under his name. This made Yu Zhaolin a laughingstock in the city. He even had to cover his face whenever he went out, and he hated her for it. One day, the little princess fell and hit her head. She forgot everything except that Yu Zhaolin was her husband. After being thrown out of the Yu residence, she stood outside the gates, crying and calling him an unfaithful, heartless man. A crowd of onlookers gathered. Yu Zhaolin came out with a dark expression to deal with the situation, only for the soft, delicate young lady to throw her arms around him. With tears in her eyes, she accused him, “Yu Zhaolin, how could you be so cruel? How could you abandon your wife and child?” Yu Zhaolin: ? The crowd: ! * Yu Zhaolin and his older brother depended on each other from childhood. When his brother was framed and imprisoned, Yu Zhaolin went all over the capital begging for help, but no one dared to assist him. Only Prince Qin agreed, with one condition: Yu Zhaolin had to pretend to be Shang Ruofu's husband and move into the prince's residence, staying until she recovered. The little princess's memories were scrambled, and she would get so caught up in the stories she'd written that she'd act as if she were in them. Yu Zhaolin kept a straight face as he played all sorts of roles alongside her. What he never expected was that he'd get even more caught up in the act than she did, and start hoping they could play these roles together for the rest of their lives. Then one day, the little princess hit her head again and regained her old memories. She ended up hating him even more than before. Her childhood friend finally returned to the capital and wanted to marry her. Yu Zhaolin, meanwhile, was discarded once she was done with him, like a worn-out shoe. As the two of them were being affectionate, Yu Zhaolin suddenly showed up at her door with a child. Right in front of her childhood friend, he demanded an explanation. “Princess Shang Ruofu of Yuanheng, how could you be so cruel as to abandon your husband and child?” Shang Ruofu: ! Childhood friend: ? Theme: Every cloud has a silver lining.
