Beautiful and dignified prime minister's daughter VS sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, insecure shadow guard
*
Meng Ruoyu was not only beautiful and graceful, but also well-read and sensible. Her constitution was rather weak, but that did not stop the powerful families of the capital from vying to marry her. They would simply have to take good care of her.
But no one knew she had fallen for a shadow guard named Xiao Wuyi.
Though he was taciturn and seemed to want nothing to do with her.
"Xiao Wuyi, would you smile for me? I've never seen you do it."
"You're so young, so why do you always wear black? I think you'd look wonderful in lighter colors."
"Are you unhappy? Then how about I play the qin for you?"
But he still wouldn't respond to her.
Meng Ruoyu didn't know what to do, so all she could say was, "Xiao Wuyi, I feel unwell."
At that, the man kneeling on one knee sprang to his feet. "Where does it hurt?"
"I thought you'd gone mute!"
Everyone said Xiao Wuyi, head of the Nine Shadow Guards, had no feelings or desires. But little did they know that the young lady of the Prime Minister's residence was the very object of his desire. Where no one could see, he knelt humbly at her feet. "My lady is of noble birth, while your servant is of lowly station. I dare not presume to touch you."
