A calculating new top scholar vs. an arrogant puppy-like imperial prince

Wei Jingzhao is an imperial prince of the Great Wei, the emperor's younger brother, and unmatched in nobility.

He ends up on the frontier, where Jiang Zhu takes him in.

At first, Wei Jingzhao despises this penniless, ruthless, mercenary woman who loves money more than life. He only wants to trick Jiang Zhu into safely escorting him to his maternal grandfather's home beyond the border.

But when the time comes, the fate of their country and people is at stake.

He looks at the slender woman and says, gazing down at her, "Come with me. I'll make sure you live in luxury for the rest of your life, as long as you..." Marry me.

But before he can finish, she says, "There's no need. Take care, Your Highness."

One quiet "Your Highness"

severs the ties between them

and lays bare the difference in their status.

At the Qionglin Banquet, the new court official who has won top honors in all three imperial examinations finally makes an appearance.

Jiang Zhu stands straight, her slender waist and upright bearing like jade branches and green bamboo.

Wei Jingzhao, seated on the raised dais, catches sight of that familiar face and abruptly sits bolt upright.

Pointing at the woman surrounded by people at the Qionglin Banquet, he fixes her with a ravenous, venomous stare. "Elder Sister, I want her."

But his usually doting elder sister shakes her head. "Little Cat, she's off-limits."

She's one of her most valued ministers!

Emperor Wu'an hesitates for a long moment, then points to the person beside her. "How about... you take a look at the third-place winner?"

Wei Jingzhao scoffs. If that's how it is, he'll scheme for her himself!
