Blurb
Shen Zili, the sixth prince of the Tiancheng Kingdom, had just celebrated his nineteenth birthday when the emperor issued an edict betrothing him to Qi Chuhuai, who had just returned victorious from battle.
"I won't marry him! Absolutely not!"
After his protests came to nothing, he packed his little bundle and prepared to flee the capital under cover of night. But just after leaving the city gates, he ran into his fiance.
"Brother, please, help me out. I'm in a real bind."
The man in front of him, of course, had no intention of helping him, nor of calling him brother. Shen Zili thought that if only he had taken one look at the portrait his father had sent a few days ago, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state, being escorted back to the palace on horseback by the very man he was supposed to marry.
On their wedding night, he looked at Qi Chuhuai's sullen face and thought of his status as a prince. Finally gathering his courage, he patted the bed. "Are you going to sleep here tonight? I... I'm telling you, I won't let you touch me..."
The outcome speaks for itself.
He was the ruler, and Qi Chuhuai his subject. The other man stared at him, silently took two steps back, then turned and slammed the door on his way out.
Thank goodness.
Shen Zili lay on the bed, relieved to have escaped a close call, but soon he couldn't help worrying again.
How was he supposed to get through the days ahead...?
Both leads are each other's first, with no other romantic experience. One-on-one romance. Happy ending. Marriage first, love later.
