So, I have a request to make.

Though I unintentionally hurt you yesterday,

I've realized that

you can calm me down

during my episodes.

So I specially invited
you today to treat me.

To treat you?

[Suffering from a chronic illness,
prone to violent episodes.]

[Only a certain woman can cure him.]

[Isn't he the perfect masculine type?]

Is there something on my face?

An extraordinary aura.

I have a few questions.

Feel free to ask.

Did you, since childhood,
never allow any woman

to get close to you, except for me?

No.

Then did your brother

fight bloodily and was framed
by corrupt officials,

so you need to endure humiliation
to clear the injustice?

I only fight victorious battles.

One last question.

Do you have

an ill mother, a cruel father,
and a sister who goes to school?

My mother has passed away.

My brothers and sisters are all well.

[Why did this happen to me?]

[I'm not destined to be the female lead,]

[but I encountered a disease
that only a female lead can cure.]

[What kind of situation is this?]

How should I treat you then?

You don't need to do anything.

Just come to the attic every five days,

and stay for four hours.

Spend four hours together with you?

Yes.

I've discovered

as long as you're by my side,

I can remain calm,

and my headache eases considerably.

[It's really a Mary Sue setup.]

[But yesterday, it did seem like]

[after I approached him,]

[his emotions slowly calmed down.]

[Seems like he needs my favor.]

Why should I help you?

I'm not exactly a good person.

It's no trouble accompanying you
for four hours every five days.

But I come from Prince Ning's Residence.

My father holds military power.

If others know I'm too close to you,

it won't do us any good.

What do you want?

I want you to protect my family
for a lifetime of peace.

Does this statement represent you personally

or does it represent the entire family?

You must know

three years ago, because of my ignorance,

my father

almost risked everything on Xiao Xu.

[A simple "ignorance"
dismisses the past mistake.]

[Princess Yuexi is open-minded.]

What do you mean?

What I mean is

my choice is my family's choice.

You don't trust me?

No, I believe you.

Then why are you smiling?

I'm just curious, why is it me?

I thought you would turn to Xiao Xu.

After all, you two almost
had an arranged marriage.

To be honest,

I don't mind who
ascends the throne in the end,

as long as it's not Xiao Xu.

And you're precisely
the most suitable candidate.

From love comes hatred?

No, I never loved him.

Then why is that?

Xiao Xu can't protect my family.

Or I could say

he doesn't care about my family.

So you don't need to worry

that I might be swayed

by personal issues.

In fact,

if you could accidentally

make Xiao Xu disappear,

I would be even more grateful.

I don' have such great abilities

to protect your family for a lifetime.

No, you do. Even not now,

you will have it in the future.

My entire family are loyal
to the country and love the Emperor.

Unfortunately, there is no successor.

So I don't seek inherited prosperity.

I only seek peace and prosperity
in this lifetime.

What you desire is all for your family.

What about yourself?

You have no personal desires?

Me?

Except for the girls in the palace,

I am already the most
honored woman in the world.

As long as you can protect
the prosperity of my family,

no matter how I act recklessly,

no one will dare to bully or insult me.

I will not fail your trust.

[This is settled?]

[Was it that easy?]

[I thought it would take more rounds.]

[He decided such a big matter]

[with just one light sentence.]

Your Grace.

[Qinchun Pavilion]

Master has suffered
from illness for many years

and has tried all kinds of methods,

but still never had a good night's sleep.

Your presence

has miraculously helped him calm down.

Even if it's just a good night's sleep,
it has greatly alleviated

his years of suffering.

We will always remember

this kindness of yours.

It's simply a mutual benefit.

Still, I must thank Your Grace.

Master may seem cold on the outside,
but he's fair in rewards and punishments.

He always sincerely
protects those close to him.

As long as you stand with him,

he will never let you down.

[These words are both a promise and a threat.]

I hope so.

[Since he promised to protect my family,]

[as long as we don't stab him in the back,]

[I believe he won't just discard us.]

[If he truly breaks his word,]

[then I will just fight to the death]

[like the original story.]

[As for who wins and who loses,]

[it's still uncertain.]

[Five days later, Prince Ning's Residence]

You haven't finished your breakfast.

Today I haven't finished my music, chess,

calligraphy, painting, poetry and song lessons.

You're my daughter.

It's fine if you can't do all of them.

My mother passed away early.

There's gossip all over the capital

that I didn't inherit anything from her.

I feel like crying.

Alright, come back early.

Got it, old man.

[First day at work]

Hey.

- [Isn't this] - Miss, we've arrived.

[the book I saw in his carriage?]

I'll fold it and read it next time.

Why is this book here?

I guessed you would like it,
so I brought it.

How thoughtful, Your Highness.

Wow.

This is delicious. Sweet.

There are many here.

[Boring.]

[How to pass the time?]

I'll tell you a story.

Story?

Yes.

Okay.

A long, long time ago,

there was a little prince.

He ate and slept alone every day,

watching the sun rise and set.

Suddenly, one day,

a beautiful rose bloomed beneath his feet.

What kind of flower is a rose?

It's a flower that represents love.

The little prince had never
seen such a beautiful flower.

He fell in love with this rose,

caring for it carefully.

He watered it, removed pests,
and chatted with it every day.

Later, he learned how to plant flowers?

Listen to me.

The little prince thought

that his rose was the only one in the world.

There were no others like it anywhere else.

Yes.

However, suddenly one day,

he walked into a garden.

In the garden,

he saw five thousand identical roses.

At this moment, the little prince realized

that his rose was just an ordinary rose.

How could it be an ordinary rose?

That was the rose that kept him company
during his loneliness.

That was a rose that belonged only to him.

Your Highness, impressive.

Your story is very interesting.

I like it very much.

You haven't finished your book yet.

Hey.
