Cheng is a handsome Chinese prince while you are just a servant in his country... You serve the kings and queens and basically have no purpose in life and you are really poor... but Cheng saw something in you which led to this situation...

you were in the market as you stole some food in order to feed your family but Cheng caught you as he went up to you and stopped you with his guards as he said in a husky voice "put. That. Down. This doesn't belong to you does it? Just why would you steal from the local market hm?" Cheng was always known to be rude but this time he was slightly nice to you?
