With a smile on her face, she walked toward a caravan of glass buyers, just about to ask about the current situation, when she heard the merchant say, "Shopkeeper, bring another hundred copies of 'Locking Love'."
The shopkeeper replied, "You're too late. We just printed a thousand copies of 'Locking Love' yesterday, and they're all gone this morning."
Shang Shaoyan interjected curiously, "What is 'Locking Love'? A storybook?"
The shopkeeper, seeing that Shang Shaoyan was a young and beautiful woman, softened his initially shocked expression: "Judging from your accent, you must be from Shengjing, right? It's normal not to have heard of 'Locking Love', after all, the author of the storybook is from Shengjing."
Shang Shaoyan became interested, his gossip-loving nature blazing: "Really? Which powerful figure is it?"
The shopkeeper looked around before lowering his voice and saying, "It is indeed the Lady of Heyang County who has brought prosperity to Shu Prefecture!"
Shang Shaoyan: "Princess Heyang...?"
Seeing her bewildered expression, the shopkeeper became somewhat anxious: "It's Princess Heyang, the younger sister of the Duke of Zhenguo, the one personally bestowed the title by the late emperor! This storybook tells of her and a mysterious young man in the martial arts world who can turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist; they have many unknown loves and hates!"
At this point, he got a little carried away and stopped doing business to start explaining to Shang Shaoyan: "Young lady probably doesn't know, but that mysterious young man, known in the martial arts world as the Seventh Young Master, is a ruthless character, yet he is gentle and kind only to Princess Heyang. The two are a match made in heaven! They are evenly matched, and their love-hate relationship is a bit sad... Hey, I won't tell you the ending of the story. You have to watch it yourself to know how good it is."
Then he looked around mysteriously and said, "This storybook was written by the author, Mr. Dongshan, who personally infiltrated the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and spent three years undercover before completing this masterpiece!"
Shang Shaoyan: "..."
