Lu Xiaoran is the third child in her family. She has two older sisters and a younger brother. Though she's not neglected, she's not doted on either.
The Duke of Ping has always been both virtuous and talented, and is respected at court. His children are no less impressive. Lu Xiaomiao considers herself a good actress, quiet and reserved in public, just an ordinary young lady of a noble family.
But sixteen years of peace are finally shattered when the Heir of Prince Cheng returns to the capital from Jiangnan.
Everything changes.
"Ranran, have you made up your mind?"
"Heir, are you really going to compete with me?"
"Of course."
A sweet romance with an academy storyline. The heroine is clear-headed, not delicate or helpless. The story leans toward the Tang Dynasty style, but supports monogamy only (concubines are allowed).
A proud heir, spirited and talented, skilled in both letters and arms, versus a clever and opinionated noblewoman, graceful in public and secretly cunning.
Content warning: There is a somewhat unlikeable secondary couple: a scheming girl versus a carefree playboy.
Theme: Young people have dreams. Don't lie flat, get to work on those practice exams!
