Ji Si lived up to her name: she was a notorious wastrel princess in the capital. But with the Empress backing her, the Phoenix Lord doting on her, and the Crown Princess being a bona fide sister-complex, the three most powerful people in the realm granted her every wish. Who would dare provoke her? In her previous life, Ji Si had wanted to find true love, only to be deceived by a manipulative man and left emotionally and physically exhausted. Now she said: Thanks, but no. I'm done trying. I'll lie flat, and I'm grateful for this arranged marriage.
As the eldest legitimate son of the Mu family, Mu Wenqing had been skilled at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since childhood. Gentle and considerate, he was praised by the noblewomen of the capital as the ideal son-in-law.
When the marriage was decreed, the whole capital buzzed with gossip. What a pity that a flower like the Mu family's young master had been stuck in the cow dung that was Ji Si.
After the wedding, everyone assumed that two people with such different personalities would be strangers under the same roof. But three months later, the people of the capital saw the Third Princess and her husband strolling hand in hand, their sweetness leaving the onlookers in awe.
