Two years ago, the Luo family was massacred. Luo Yao was fortunate enough to be rescued by Fu Wenjing. Out of respect for their fathers' old friendship, Fu Wenjing took her in at Prince Jin's residence.

During those two years there, Fu Wenjing truly treated her very well.

But Luo Yao wanted more. She had no memories of the dozen or so years before, though, and didn't dare reveal her feelings.

She heard him promise that the future Princess Jin would absolutely not be Miss Li, and that he would take care of her and stay by her side for the rest of her life.

But then, turning around, Luo Yao heard that he had gone to request an imperial decree granting him marriage to Miss Li.

At first, she didn't believe it. Then, on the day of the Li residence's birthday banquet, Luo Yao received a letter that hastily arranged her future: she would be sent to an estate or married off to some family.

Seeing Miss Li's sweet expression, Luo Yao finally gave up on Fu Wenjing and returned to Yangzhou with the brother she had been reunited with.

When Fu Wenjing next saw Luo Yao,

The heir to the Marquis of Dingyuan, Jiang Wang, was fixing Luo Yao's hairpin. The two shared an umbrella as they walked through the snow to admire plum blossoms, exchanging smiles at some amusing remark.

Fu Wenjing and Luo Yao's eyes met. He reached for her hand. "A Yao..."

Jiang Wang stepped between them. "Your Highness, Prince Jin, she is my fiancee."

Liu Jing hurried over to the Plum-Viewing Pavilion with a painting in his arms. "Miss A Yao, this is the painting I made for you."

Luo Yao had never imagined three men would quarrel over her

Jiang Wang: "A Yao and I were betrothed as children. She is my fiancee. Our parents arranged it, and the matchmaker approved. Your Highness, didn't you say you weren't interested in other people's fiancees?"

Liu Jing, blushing shyly: "I don't ask for a title. Just being able to see Miss A Yao every day would be enough."

Fu Wenjing: "..."

That night, Fu Wenjing secretly slipped into her bedroom, his handsome face taut. "Luo Yao, you should know that plenty of women want to be Princess Jin."

Luo Yao shot him a sidelong glance, a clear laugh escaping her lips. "Your Highness, I believe you. But let go of my sleeve first."

Fu Wenjing reluctantly let go, his phoenix eyes fixed on Luo Yao.

"Did you enjoy the pastries he fed you?"

"Were they better than mine?"

[Reader's Guide]

1. The heroine has amnesia for the first two years. The second half features a one-versus-three rivalry and the male lead's long road to redemption.

2. The male lead has no serious character flaws. He just can't express himself (proud, tsundere men deserve a redemption arc!)

3. The heroine is a delicate flower, raised in a sheltered environment.

[In Bold] I've changed the blurb, but the central premise is the same. It's still that story!
