In the spring of the twenty-third year of Anhe, Jiang Mei was supposed to be washing clothes by the sea when she happened upon an unconscious man.
The moment Huo Ning opened his eyes, he saw the young woman keeping watch beside his bed. Grateful for her life-saving kindness, he also noticed that she lived alone and worked hard every day just to earn a few copper coins. Looking at her exceptional beauty, a thought suddenly came to him.
He would help her become the future empress, the crown princess of today!
What Huo Ning didn't know was that Jiang Mei's parents were alive and well, and she wasn't a pitiful orphan with no one to rely on. On the contrary, she had been doted on by her parents since childhood and had only run away from home in a fit of pique.
Though their beautiful misunderstanding had come about by chance, Huo Ning still wanted to repay her kindness. In the capital, the two of them learned that a friend Jiang Mei had been close to since childhood was going to marry the daughter of the Minister of Rites.
Seeing the young woman looking dejected and gloomy, Huo Ning was overjoyed. He resolved to help her become the most esteemed woman in the Tianji Kingdom, so she would no longer be sad over her past relationship.
But why were the emperor and empress acting strangely around her?
And why did Jiang Mei treat him better than she treated the crown prince? Could it be that she had fallen for him?!
"Beauty! To repay you for saving my life, I'll make you a princess consort and ensure you never want for food or clothing!"
"...Thank you?"

Just how adorable can a boy be when he's determined to help his savior become a princess consort, is hopelessly romantic, and keeps convincing himself she's in love with him?

"Qianglu" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ strong slave
It's too cheap for the emperor to have a dog leash like this, right?
"Wuzhao" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ No edict
I just discovered that all large articles seem to be free of charge 🥺
It's strange that I can neither see the comments I posted nor the comments posted by others 🥺
This female supporting role is quite annoying
Could Zhong Yu be Bai Xiaosheng?
It feels more and more confusing [Spread flowers] It's not enough to see 🥺
Okay, okay, Qi Baicao's grandson is called Qi Baihua, hahaha
I have a question. The previous article said that Qi Baicao is now twenty-six or seven years old, and he said that he has been treating the heroine's mother for twenty years but has not detoxified her. Doesn't that mean that Qi Baicao was already proficient in medical skills when he was six or seven years old? [Question mark] Is that too exaggerated?
