The moment she stepped into the bridal chamber, the demonic sect’s young master, who had always behaved erratically, gathered all her sharpness and called out obediently to Her Royal Highness the Princess next to the bed, who was wearing a phoenix crown and beautiful robe: “Sister-in-law.”

However, what she received was the meaningful look from the princess by the bed: “Don’t call me sister-in-law, call me wife.”

Young Master Meng, who did not know the meaning of the kiss that landed on the corner of her mouth during the wedding night, finally gradually understood the thoughts of Her Royal Highness in the days that followed.

Meng Chang’an: “Your Highness, I advise you to give up. This young master has never had a fondness for grinding mirrors², and in this lifetime, I will never like women. You should not waste your efforts on me!”

Li Qiubai slowly raised her hand and gently touched the young master’s chest, with a teasing smile, she asked, “How could these efforts be wasted? Look at you, your heart is beating so fast. Even your legs are getting weak…”

Young Master Meng lost her armor along the way but still wouldn’t give up: “Even if you get my body, you can’t have my heart. It’s impossible for me to be in love with a woman!”

One year later:

Her Royal Highness the Princess: “Sister, why don’t you call me sister-in-law?”

Young Master Meng: “Wife…I know I was wrong…”
