The Seventh Lady of the Prince of Yan’s household and the Eleventh Young Lord of the Duke of Ying’s household grew up together, childhood sweethearts with an innocent affection for each other.
As a handsome young nobleman renowned throughout Chang’an, Zheng Xi had a graceful, moonlit presence. Many young ladies secretly admired him, but his heart belonged only to his oblivious childhood sweetheart.
The Eleventh Young Lord waited and waited until his childhood sweetheart finally realized her feelings. But... why wasn’t it at all like he’d imagined?
-
One moonlit night, with only a few stars in the sky, Zheng Xi was about to bathe when he suddenly sensed someone behind the screen. His thick brows furrowed, and he stopped halfway through unfastening his inner robe. His voice was cold as he shouted, “Come out!”
A young lady in a red jacket and green skirt, with almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, peeked out from behind the screen. Her dewy eyes were full of regret that Zheng Xi had only taken off half his inner robe.
Zheng Xi: “...”
The young lord hurriedly fastened his clothes, threw on an outer robe, and pretended to be calm. “Seventh Lady, it’s so late. What are you doing here?”
Li Qingchan answered with frank ease, “I climbed over the wall.”
Zheng Xi was helpless. Of course he knew Qingchan had climbed over the wall. Ever since she learned how, she had never again used the front gate of the Duke of Ying’s residence.
Zheng Xi coughed, his voice gentle. “It’s so late. What are you doing in my room?”
Qingchan’s eyes lit up. “I heard a talented pipa-playing young lady recently arrived at the Liuyin Pavilion in Pingkang Ward. Come with me to see her tomorrow.”
Zheng Xi: “...”
In the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone together, and you came all this way just to ask me to accompany you to see a courtesan?

Coming soon: From Her

When Xuan Heng realized he had truly fallen for Princess Yong’an, his first reaction was to go offer incense before the memorial tablet of his friend, Crown Prince Zhaohuai.
I’m sorry, brother, Xuan Heng thought.
After swearing before his friend’s memorial tablet that he would treat the princess well, Xuan Heng was on his way out when he spotted another young man sneaking furtively toward the crown prince’s memorial tablet.
On closer inspection, it was none other than the ruler of the northern grasslands, who had recently arrived at court to pay his respects to the sovereign of the Central Plains.
Xuan Heng hid behind a pillar and heard the northern warlord stand before the memorial tablet. In contrast to his usual defiance, he spoke in fluent, impeccable Han Chinese: “Crown Prince, rest assured. I will never let your younger sister down.”
Xuan Heng: “...”
-
Those who grow up on the vast grasslands naturally have broad hearts, too.
The ruler of the grasslands said to Xuan Heng, “The princess likes me, and she likes you, too. Why be so petty? At worst, you can be the primary consort and I’ll be the secondary one. We can serve the princess together.”
