Yet in My Heart

I was the frailest little invalid in all of Shangjing. My fiancé’s family thought I was too sickly, and since my family had fallen on hard times, they tried every possible way to break off the engagement. As luck would have it, the equally gravely ill and feeble Crown Prince was forced to jump into the water to save me-and then forced to marry me. Everyone laughed at us, calling us two invalids settling for each other. Until-an assassin came for the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was furious, but too weak to fight back. I charged forward and sent the assassin flying with one punch. The Crown Prince was stunned. Trembling, he said, “Y-y-y-you… aren’t you supposed to be listless and sickly and…” If he didn’t ask, I wouldn’t say. But since he did, I looked surprised. “Oh. I guess I forgot to mention-that’s just my persona.”
