She attracts the admiration of numerous princes, as well as the envy and jealousy of the noblewomen of the capital and her awful relatives.
The widowed, child-rearing Prince Monster only wants to find a sucker, and he follows her around relentlessly:

“Your Highness underestimates me.”
“The entire princely estate will be yours.”
Gong Wan’s lips curled into a smile.
