Zhaozhao is the most adored princess of Great Qi.
So when she was sent to marry into another kingdom, the Emperor of Great Yan let her choose among his four marriageable princes.
"Choose anyone you like, just don't choose the fifth prince."
Her personal nanny made inquiries.
She said bluntly that the fifth prince, Xie Chenglang, was a devil who could scare children into silence at night.
But Zhaozhao chose him anyway.
She owed him her life.
*
Xie Chenglang is the foil to his twin brother.
His brother, Xie Jin, is Great Yan's lucky star; he was born carrying misfortune.
Xie Jin is gentle and beloved by everyone; Xie Chenglang is Great Yan's notorious little menace.
So he never imagined that the princess of Great Qi would choose him.
Much less that Xie Jin, who outshone him in every way, had secretly loved her.
"Repaying a debt?"
In an instant, he understood everything. So he pretended to be the man who had saved her, right in front of Xie Jin...
He had her cook for him and sew clothes for him.
He enjoyed her efforts and attentions, then pretended to be bothered by them.
What others treasure is worthless to him.
Until the day Xie Chenglang realized he had fallen in love with Lin Zhao, and Lin Zhao realized she had repaid the wrong person.
Theme: One should be sincere.
