[Fallen Princess x Jianghu Pickpocket]
After her kingdom falls and her family is destroyed, Ren Shanggui hides her identity as a princess in exile and lies low. She had thought her life was destined to be spent embroiled in political schemes.
When she first meets Shi Qi, it is a trap meant to lure her in. She never expected the notorious female seducer who has lately caused a scandal in the capital to be a woman.
The woman covers the place Ren Shanggui touched, an unnatural flush rising on her face. "What did you put on me?!"
The play is underway, and there's no taking back a move once it's made.
"A love curse." Ren Shanggui rolls her fingertips together, the corners of her lips curling up.
This woman really is easy to fool. They're both women... how could a love curse possibly take hold?
But Ren Shanggui forgets that she, too, has stepped onto the stage in this game.
Shi Qi has never had a home. Ever since she could remember, she had been a beggar.
"On the seventh day of the seventh month that year, during the Qixi Festival, my senior sister said I was the seventh person she'd seen. She took pity on me and brought me back to the sect."
Ren Shanggui has no home either, but...
"Little Shiqi, from now on, this is your home." She holds out her hand to Shi Qi. "You're no beggar. You came seeking a 'qiao,' a clever match. And how clever that you and I met."
The way home she had spent half her life plotting had already been carried into her heart by this wild little sparrow.
And Shi Qi, too, came to see Ren Shanggui's way home as her own future.
No logic, don't nitpick.
Self-consistent.
Theme: Love and peace.
