[Spoiled x Scheming, Childhood Friends, Bickering Couple, Marriage Before Love]

Princess Si Huahuan of Kangle is adored by the Emperor and Empress. Arrogant and free-spirited, she gets whatever she wants.

The only exception is Xie Yun. They have been at odds since childhood, bitter enemies for years.

Xie Yun, Marquis of Ming'an, is exceptionally handsome, as radiant and noble as the moon, and a close aide to the Emperor.

Every noblewoman in the capital admires him, yet Si Huahuan and he can't stand the sight of each other.

After years of clashing with Xie Yun, Si Huahuan ends up dying beneath one of his cold arrows.

Reborn at seventeen, Si Huahuan reflects on her past and resolves:

First, cherish your life and stay away from that bastard Xie!

Second, while I'm still young, I'm going to enjoy all the things I missed out on in my past life!

Just as she's surrounded by ten handsome men, being fed wine, the door is kicked open. There stands Xie Yun, his face dark with anger. He announces some kind of “morals crackdown” and has all the men dragged away.

Si Huahuan: “?” Are you out of your mind?

The next day, Si Huahuan kicks open the gates of the Marquis of Ming'an's estate, throws the imperial decree of marriage in front of Xie Yun, and snaps, “If you want to disgust me, you don't have to go this far!”

Xie Yun calmly takes a sip of tea. “You're the one who taught me. Doesn't matter what method you use, as long as it works.”

After the wedding, the more Si Huahuan thinks about it, the angrier she gets.

Fine, let's disgust each other.

At dusk, she poses on Xie Yun's bed in a sheer robe and calls sweetly, “Husband~”

The next moment, he wraps her in a quilt and tosses her outside. She roars at the sky, “Xie Yun, you son of a!”

When he gets angry, Si Huahuan is happy. Night after night, she keeps coming up with new ways to disgust him.

One night, Xie Yun leans over her, bracing both hands beside her. His eyes roil with emotion. “You really think I wouldn't dare?”

Si Huahuan sneers. “What could you possibly do... Mmph!”

Their eyes meet, their lips touch, and the night unfolds in a haze of passion.

After hiding from him for just two days, Si Huahuan gets cornered by Xie Yun in the imperial gardens. Furious, she says, “Get as far away from me as you can!”

Xie Yun raises a brow, looking amused. “That's not what you said that night.”

[Exceptionally Oblivious, Airheaded Beauty x Sharp-Tongued, Aloof Nobleman Who Says One Thing but Means Another]

Ji Yunzhu is a beauty renowned throughout the capital for her ethereal looks, yet she has been engaged twice and rejected twice.

In a fit of anger, her father takes an unconventional approach, branding her a heaven-sent girl who brings health and good fortune to her husband. Against all odds, he actually manages to secure her the position of Crown Princess.

The Crown Prince, Pei Yu, was born with a debilitating illness, and everyone says he has little time left.

Ji Yunzhu, who only wants to eat, drink, and enjoy life, is near tears.

To keep the Emperor from seeing through the ruse, she has no choice but to make sure the Crown Prince lives a little longer. And then a little longer still.

Though the Crown Prince is refined and aloof, with a cutting tongue, Ji Yunzhu still rises to the challenge.

But...

To strengthen his health, she carefully brews a “Ten-In-One Tonic Soup,” only for it to give the Crown Prince a raging nosebleed.

Hoping to make up for yesterday's blunder, she specially sends him a soothing incense blend she made herself, only to keep him awake all night with its fumes.

Everyone in the Eastern Palace: Is the Crown Princess trying to become a widow sooner?!

Ji Yunzhu leans on the side of the bed, frowning miserably. “I swear, it really was an accident. Do you believe me, Your Highness?”

Pei Yu smiles faintly. “The greatest accident is that I am still alive.”

When Pei Yu was a child, the imperial physician declared that he would not live past twenty-five.

Twenty-three years have passed, and his time is nearly up. He has long since accepted his fate.

He spends his days alone in the Eastern Palace, quietly and coldly tending to flowers and plants.

Who could have guessed that an imperial decree of marriage would thrust a lively presence into his quiet days?

From then on, the Eastern Palace would never know peace again.

She burns the pot while brewing medicine, makes herself cry with her incense, and sews sachets so awful they could ward off evil spirits.

He coughs once, and she circles him three times. He glances at a pot of orchids, and the next day she brings him ten more.

Clumsy, chatterbox, and noisy enough to give him a headache.

But somehow... she doesn't give him quite so much of a headache after all.

One night, his old illness flares up. In a daze, he hears her crying beside his bed: “Your Highness, you have to live to be a hundred! If you die, I won't be able to go on either. Sob...”

Her tears are scorching as they fall onto the back of his hand.

Pei Yu thinks groggily: No one in this world has ever cried for him like this.

She must be... hopelessly in love with him.

This silly girl. What would she do without him?

Pei Yu decides he can keep living a little longer.
