For some reason, she suddenly felt that this somewhat shady and scheming Seventh Prince, who always stood up for her when she needed him, seemed quite like someone she could truly love. In her previous life, she had been deeply wounded by family and love, having long since closed her heart. But Xiao Yu's appearance was like a ray of light, forcibly illuminating her frozen world. His humor, his protectiveness, the undisguised admiration in his eyes... all gradually made her let down her guard.

"That... Your Highness," Shen Weiwan mustered up the courage to speak, her voice trembling slightly, "Why are you... so good to me?"

Xiao Yu turned to look at her, his eyes so serious that they made her feel a little uneasy. "Because I think you're very interesting." He paused, as if weighing his words. "The kind of interesting... that makes you want to be kept at the top of your heart and always by your side."

Shen Weiwan's heart skipped a beat, and her face began to heat up again. She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt, and muttered softly, "You always talk too much..."

Xiao Yu chuckled and reached out to gently ruffle her hair, his movements natural and intimate. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore." His eyes became gentle and firm. "As for Liu and Shen Ruoruo, I will take care of it. You just need to be at ease as the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. I will take care of the rest."

Shen Weiwan raised her head and looked into his deep eyes. There was no falsehood in them, only sincerity and warmth. At that moment, she suddenly felt that maybe she could try to trust the man in front of her and believe that he could give her a stable life.

"Yeah." She nodded slightly, and couldn't help but raise a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth.

Chun Tao watched her young lady finally smile, and her heart was filled with joy. Her young lady had suffered so much, and now she was finally about to have her own happiness!

The setting sun shone through the window lattice, casting long silhouettes on the ground. Shen Weiwan looked at Xiao Yu beside her and quietly made a decision: this somewhat silly, yet heart-beating prince, she had decided on him! As for Liu and Shen Ruorou's clownish schemes, they were just a few pebbles on her road to happiness. She could just kick them away!

In this life, she not only wants to avenge her blood feud from her previous life and protect the general's family business, but she also wants to hold on to the man in front of her and live a prosperous life with him, making the most of the capital!
