Prince, Your Princess Consort Is Calling You to Dream

Bai Jiuxiao has a secret: whenever she has a dream, the exact opposite is sure to happen.

She dreams that a man kills her.

Bai Jiuxiao: This man must love her with all his heart. I have to get him!

Ning Shiqian has a secret too: whatever he dreams will come true exactly as he saw it.

He dreams that he kills a woman.

Ning Shiqian: This woman must be his sworn enemy. He has to stay away from her!

He runs, she chases, and he has nowhere to hide.

Before long, Ning Shiqian discovers that she is the regent of Great Zhao, while Bai Jiuxiao learns that he is the fourth prince of Sanglin.

Bai Jiuxiao: No wonder he keeps everyone at arm’s length. But he’s so cute when he pretends to resist her advances.

Ning Shiqian: Just as I thought, she’s my greatest enemy. But there’s something captivating about her fearless courage.

Since there’s no way to escape, he might as well turn around and flirt back, then play along while waiting for his chance.

Later, with enemy forces at the gates, they point their swords at each other.

Bai Jiuxiao finally sees the light: Men are nothing but a nuisance. They only slow down your draw.

Later still, she is dressed in red wedding finery, and they gaze at each other through her red veil.

Ning Shiqian finally understands, in his agony: Where’s the crematorium? Build him ten of them. He only begs her to stop and look back at him again.
