Tales from the Imperial Academy

Sweet girl disguised as a boy x eccentric prince

Her own father favored his concubine's son, so Lu Anlan was forced to dress as a boy from childhood.

Then an imperial edict suddenly summoned her to the Imperial College.

Studying is hard. Studying at the Imperial College is harder. Studying there while pretending to be a boy is harder still!

What kind of academy makes students share a room in pairs?

And to make matters worse, Lu Anlan's roommate, the supposedly disfavored Sixth Prince, won't even let her in on the very first night.

The Sixth Prince leans against the door, looking down at her. “You haven't bathed. You can't come in.”

Lu Anlan: ...?

Your Highness, it's not that she doesn't like being clean. She just doesn't want to watch the great bathhouse showdown, let alone have a crowd of classmates watching her.

Her innocence is a small matter. Getting her head chopped off is a big one! Let them think whatever they want. My heart is pure!

Chen Xuan never imagined that he, a prince who bathed three times a day, would end up with a roommate who hated bathing.

On the first night, he shut the boy out, and the boy actually slept leaning against the door all night.

The next day, Lu Anlan still didn't go to the bathhouse. After a night of cold wind and heavy rain, the boy came down with a high fever and asked to go home. With his nose bright red and tears in his eyes, he looked so pitiful that, for the first time in his life, Chen Xuan wondered if he might have been wrong.

But two days without a bath was beyond what he could tolerate!

Fortunately, when Lu Anlan returned from her leave, she obediently went to bathe.

But the boy seemed to have some kind of affliction. Every day, right at midnight, he'd mutter “By the authority of the law, be gone!” as he climbed over countless walls on his way to the bathhouse.

And the boy was unbelievably popular. Every day, all sorts of classmates came to the courtyard looking for him, calling him “Brother Lu” or “Little Brother Lu.”

Chen Xuan finally lost patience. One day, he cornered Lu Anlan and snapped, “I'll say it again. This is a shared residence. Don't bring people back, and don't let anyone stay the night!”

Lu Anlan was indignant too. “Your Highness, I have something to say as well. We're roommates, not kissing buddies, and we're definitely not a couple. Stop kissing me!”
