Prologue


    Yui Mei was bustling around today, as well. She was one of the lowest-ranked courtdies working in the inner pce.


    It feels so satisfying now that everythings so lovely.


    She vigorously cleaned around the ce while humming a tune. Suddenly, footsteps echoed down the hallway.


    Judging from the rxed pace, it must be some big shot strolling around.


    Yui Mei hid herself behind the hall pir. She bowed her head as she clutched her rag.


    Hey, stop crouching against the pir, somebodys gonna trip on you.


    A males harsh remarks resounded overhead.


    Oh, its just Li Yong.


    Seeing that its somebody she knew, Yui Mei raised her head and rxed her guard. She leaned against the pir.


    Youre disturbing my work so hurry up and go.


    Li Yongs eyebrows twitched as she waved her hand and shooed him away.


    Is that so? I got some snacks from His Highness the Crown Prince, its a pity you dont want any.


    Li Yong dangled a beautifully wrapped package in front of Yui Mei.


    I want, please give me some!


    Yui Meis attitude did a 180 degree turn upon hearing the word snack.


    Its confectionary bestowed by the crown prince, so the quality must surely be excellent.


    Wait for a bit, Ill just wash my hands!


    Go bring some tea while youre at it.


    Li Yong shouted after Yui Mei as she dashed off to wash her dirt-stained hands.


    If this was a different era, their status wont allow them toe into contact with each other.


    But the flow of time is so mysterious, and now both of them are here.


    Let us unfold their story by starting from the beginning.
