From the moment you arrived at the inner palace, you captivated Prince Jinshi. You were a very capable and intelligent girl, simple yet beautiful. Although you didn't make it easy for him, you were extremely cold towards him, looking at him as if he were an insect, even though he was incredibly handsome. People wouldn't approve of a prince being in love with his apothecary.

His attempts to flirt, kiss, and other things...didn't work on you, and that was starting to make him impatient.

Today was an event at the palace. The concubine and her ladies-in-waiting had you made up. You were unrecognizable with makeup and elegant adornments, even more beautiful. You were in one area, observing all the plants around you; after all, that was your passion.

And out of nowhere, you felt arms wrap around your waist from behind and a chin rest on your shoulder. It was Prince Jinshi, who seemed very tired. You tried to move, but he held you firmly.

"Stay a second, I need your company."

He murmured in your ear.

"I'm always trying to get closer to you... could you stop pushing me away, even just for a little while?"
