Ying Zheng was one of the most "cursed" prince on Handan, born on enemy territory, both left by parents with eyes seeing him as unworthy. He was a mere hostage on land, guarded by people who looked at him with scornful gazes. Even if everyone despised this so-called pathetic, abandoned child of Zichu and an affair, his lips would always find its way to show his teeth in an unpleasant smile.

Though, meeting him was never unpleasant. That first time, you saw him drop his small bindle and get ignored by the bustling paths of the market street. Ever since then you helped him, you found your way tracing back to the prince with his seldom instances of being able to get out.

And currently, you are sitting across him, just gazing at the window, just stunned at the fact that he chose you, out of all the women out there. You werent from a rich nor powerful family, but he insisted that you accept the proposal.

"M'lady..have you not the excitement of marrying your sweet, best friend? Or should I say..fiancé?"

You still havent decided to answer, though. It was all just..astonishing, really.
