The Handsome Heir and His Cunning Princess

The heroine is no all-powerful wonder woman. She’s calm and composed, somewhat clever and perceptive, with the occasional dry joke. The hero is noble, aloof, and dignified, born to an aristocratic family, well brought up, and free of bad habits.

She is Ye Shunan, who transmigrates to another world for no apparent reason. To find a way back, she has no choice but to get caught up in a treacherous struggle for the throne. With a faint smile, she turns the tide with a delicate hand. Amid flashes of blades and rivers of blood, she remains calm. Even if the world is full of women with breathtaking beauty, how could they compare to her clever mind and gentle smile?

He is Sikong Zhanbai, heir to the Prince of Dan. With peerless beauty and a string of brilliant military victories, he has won the admiration of countless women. This man, as radiant as a crisp autumn day, so cool and distant, shows a tender, doting expression only when he faces her. Even when he says her name, his voice is full of lingering affection.

“If you want the world, how could I stand by and do nothing? Shuer, whatever you want, I can give it to you. But in exchange, I want the rest of your life. Will you agree?”

Scene One (Jealousy): Ye Shunan brewed tea herself and smiled as she offered it to Sikong Zhanbai. “This is the tea you had Zeng Hong bring over last time. Give it a try.”

Sikong Zhanbai frowned as he took it. “You didn’t get back from Prince Yi’s residence until midnight yesterday?”

“Yes.”

“Were you alone together?”

Ye Shunan nodded.

“Oh. Then... I think Prince Yi’s marriage to the Yao family’s daughter should be arranged sooner rather than later.”

Ye Shunan chuckled. “Your Highness, are you sure you aren’t taking revenge for personal reasons?”

Scene Two (Cannon Fodder): A certain cannon-fodder woman said, “Ye Shunan, what’s your status, anyway? How could you possibly deserve to be with Brother Zhanbai? He’s only pretending to be with you.”

Ye Shunan nodded, sounding sincere. “Oh, thanks for letting me know.”

The cannon-fodder woman looked smug. “Brother Zhanbai and I grew up together. Our fathers have already started discussing our marriage.”

“Oh, congratulations.” She offered a polite smile.

“What are you talking about?” A man approached. It was the very man they had been discussing.

Sikong Zhanbai looked at Ye Shunan, so naturally the question was for her. “Oh, nothing. I just heard you were getting married and wanted to congratulate you.”

“What? Have you agreed to marry me?”

“Um... I thought your bride would be her.” Ye Shunan glanced at the cannon-fodder woman.

Sikong Zhanbai frowned and seemed to think for a moment. “Who is she?”

Who was she...? What happened to being childhood sweethearts?
