About this story
↓↓↓↓
[The Great Yu's devoted-to-her-country eldest princess × the sharp-tongued but soft-hearted regent of Qi]
1. There are many original elements. Please don't nitpick the historical details.
2. One-on-one romance, happy ending, sweet story with no angst.
3. Usually updated daily. I'll take a break if something comes up.
Ji Yao is the eldest legitimate daughter of the Great Yu emperor. The emperor and empress dote on her, the crown prince is her full-blooded elder brother, and she has been exceptionally granted the title of Grand Princess.
Ji Yao has never met a man who stirred her heart, and she had already prepared to take a husband into her household. Who could have known that the emperor of Qi would personally send her a letter requesting that she come and marry into his country?
Of course, Ji Yao could refuse. But she holds the rank of princess and lives off the taxes paid by the people. Knowing the heavy responsibility she bears, she resolutely sets out on the journey to Qi.
The first time Ji Yao sees her betrothed, she thinks he is every bit as handsome as he looks in paintings, though his stern expression makes him seem a little fierce.
She resolves to get along with him and strengthen the ties between Qi and the Great Yu.
Ji Yao enjoys a comfortable life in the prince's residence. When she has nothing to do, she experiments with pastries or reads storybooks. Her days are peaceful but dull, so one day she disguises herself as a man and visits the capital's famous brothel, Spring's View Tower.
As evening falls, the sun sinks in the west, painting the horizon red. At the entrance to the regent's residence, Ji Yao crashes straight into Qi Guanyu's arms.
Slender rays of golden light filter through Ji Yao's hair and fall across Qi Guanyu's chest. Ji Yao looks up, like a startled little rabbit darting this way and that.
Qi Guanyu lifts the "rabbit" out of his arms. A smile still lingers on Ji Yao's face, perhaps because she had just been chatting and laughing with someone.
Qi Guanyu narrows his peach-blossom eyes and asks with a hint of menace, "Did Your Highness enjoy herself today?"
Enjoy herself so much that she forgot when to return home, and enjoyed herself so much that she even went to a brothel.
He scoops Ji Yao into his arms, then loudly orders, "Prepare the bath!" and carries her toward their bedroom.
The door he kicks open crashes against the wall.
He carries Ji Yao into the side room and sets her on a cabinet. Ji Yao raises a fist to hit him, but Qi Guanyu catches her hand and pins it behind her back.
His other arm gently strokes the pale nape of her neck, drawing her slightly forward. Ji Yao leans toward him, and in the next instant, he silences every word on her lips.

[Kind and gentle noblewoman × decisive, cold-faced man]
Marriage first, love later / sweet / sweet / sweet
The important things bear repeating three times.
In the third year of Zhaoming, the new emperor purges the court. Song Lin, Duke of Wei, holds great power, and Emperor Zhaoming fears him. The emperor uses both threats and inducements to make Song Lin yield and relinquish some of his authority. Even so, Song Lin still fears his family may be put in danger.
As a result, Song Leqi is betrothed to someone. The young master of an earl's household is refined and genteel, and has already entered officialdom. Though the match is beneath her station, outsiders consider it a good marriage.
With the wedding approaching, the bride-to-be learns that her fiancé is in love with his cousin. The engagement is broken, and the capital fills with gossip overnight.
Though the rumors are false, they are still enough to disturb her peace. Just when she is at her most wretched, the person she has long yearned for appears before her.
In the heavy snowfall at Jinshan Temple, she draws an exceptionally auspicious fortune. The very next moment, she sees him.
As the drizzle slowly paints the scene, she smiles, raising an eyebrow, and pledges herself to him.
After their wedding, she follows him to the borderlands, where he is stationed. Snow falls softly at night. They bathe together, and when they embrace on the bed, she lowers her eyes for just a moment before the man notices.
The image of him covered in blood remains vivid in her mind. She has never seen him like that before.
She sobs uncontrollably. "What will I do if you die?"
Wu Min manages a smile, but his voice is the same one he always uses to comfort her. "With you here, I wouldn't dare die."
He admits his mistake and promises to make it up to her.
She cries out in alarm, "Don't tear it!"
He really doesn't tear it. He just pulls it open with his teeth.
When it comes to this, aren't both the punishment and the reward up to him?
He is a renowned general, a block of wood when it comes to feelings.
But from that day on, he never leaves without saying goodbye again.

Welcome everyone to move to the column to check out the pre-collection of the same theme "Princess of Renxue Jiao Zang" [Kind and gentle aristocratic woman × decisive and cold-faced man who kills] Marriage first, love later/sweet/sweet/sweet Say important things three times Song Lexi hadn't seen Wu Min for four or five years, so she should let go of her obsessions after getting engaged, until she took a look at him from a distance in the restaurant that day. She was unsettled and unwilling. On a snowy night, while the two couples were bathing together and hugging each other on the couch, Wu Min made a promise. Before Song Leqi could be happy, he remembered an old incident. When I was young, it was the simplest hide-and-seek game. The boy promised a surprise, and the little girl followed the instructions and looked for the man named Wu Min again in the dark. She lowered her eyebrows but was noticed by the man in just a moment. "Why are you unhappy?" Song Lexi was a little angry, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye?" He admitted his mistake and said he would compensate her. She said in shock: "Don't tear it apart!" He really didn't tear it, he just pulled it open with his mouth. One thing, punishment and rewards are not all decided by him—— The relationship was getting on the right track, but Wu Min followed the order and went on an expedition. Two months later, news came from the border that he was trapped and captured. Song Lexi went north to look for her husband, and when she found him, his face was covered in blood, which she had never seen before. She cried silently, "What will I do if you die?" He smiled reluctantly, and his voice was still so soft, the tone he usually used to coax her, "With you here, I don't dare to die..." From that day on, he never left without saying goodbye.
