The Deposed Crown Prince's Three Great Regrets

As everyone knows, Li Qinghuai has a junior fellow disciple who is at odds with her and swears to torment her to death.

Whenever Li Qinghuai goes west, the other goes east. If Li Qinghuai digs a pit, the other fills it in. She leaves not an ounce of affection or consideration.

Li Qinghuai keeps shamelessly trying to get close, but her former junior fellow disciple refuses to acknowledge her and even wants to sever their ties. So Li Qinghuai has no choice but to give up the helpless act and keep a safe distance.

Li Qinghuai pretends to be heartbroken. "If you don't like me, I'll leave..."

Her cold junior fellow disciple, Lu Fengmian, looks at Li, who drinks and smokes in private, and feels utterly exasperated. "Could you calm down?"

Unexpectedly, after Lu Fengmian is flirted with so much, she starts seeing the other's smile in her dreams.

At first, they only chat a little. Then things get out of hand, and soon they have everything from hand-holding to kissing. Before they know it, their feelings are tangled together, and there's no going back.

With no other choice, Lu Fengmian has to take the initiative and make up with her...

Neither of them can say which month it is since they made up.

Beneath the osmanthus tree, Li Qinghuai is tipsy. The fragrance drifts through the air, and moonlight spreads across the ground like water. As the saying goes, wine beneath the moon and flowers. Lu Fengmian feels the romantic mood has gone too far, so she decides to make a heartfelt confession.

She lays her trap slowly, luring Li Qinghuai in step by step. "The world is so vast, and it's not easy for us to meet again. Why don't we open our hearts to each other?"

At that, Li Qinghuai comes staggering over, bends down, and holds out her hand. She delivers the classic line for sworn brothers: "Though we met but yesterday, we feel like old friends."

Lu Fengmian looks stunned. "You want to become sworn siblings with me?"

Li Qinghuai is baffled. "What else?"

"..."

[Bonus Scene] The Dark Lord x The Love-Struck Fool

Li Qinghuai's first grudge: she didn't kill the other when they were both children, and even chose her as a study companion. Her second: the other ruined her life, making her a disgraced crown princess whose name could not be spoken at court, then kept her confined outside the palace for years. Her third: after losing her memories, the other became sharp on the outside but hot-tempered and love-struck on the inside, forgot all their past grievances, and wanted to start over with her...

What about me? Am I not allowed to hate her anymore?

#I think of you as my lover, but you think of me as one of the girls!#

#Though we met but yesterday, we may part as strangers even after a lifetime.#
