Lu Mingqi, head of the Censorate, was upright and incorruptible. His daily work consisted of impeaching officials, so he had made countless enemies.
That is, until his two daughters returned from Yangzhou. The elder daughter was renowned in the capital for her talent, while the younger was breathtakingly beautiful.
The tide turned overnight, and his colleagues rushed to befriend him. Prince Chen, usually so aloof, became much more courteous, and even His Majesty kept addressing him as "my dear minister"...
Everyone had their own little schemes. Some wanted to become his son-in-law, while others wanted their nephews to marry into his family.
He wore a gentle smile and said that his daughters could decide their own marriages. Behind the scenes, however, he nitpicked relentlessly, determined to break up every couple.
"Suisui, Prince Chen has many female confidantes. He's not right for you."
"Yaoyao, His Majesty intends to take consorts for his inner palace. Let's not choose him."
Having seen through the hearts of those at court, he didn't want his daughters trapped in princely mansions or the imperial palace. But love had taken root and could not be cut away. The charming Prince Chen had eyes only for the gentle and talented woman, while the aloof emperor had fallen for the bright and vivacious beauty.
