[A Match Made in Heaven - Female Destiny Card]

Who

is it?

Is my daughter going to the consort selection?

Yes.

I even

prepared a portrait for the selection.

Nonsense!

The entire court is eyeing

Prince Rui's Mansion like a tiger.

That place

is a dragon's den!

You've barely escaped once,

and you want to go back?

But father,

I truly like him!

If you don't let me go,

I won't be able to eat or sleep.

It would be like death!

Alright.

It's true that a grown daughter
can't be kept at home.

It's my fault for spoiling you
when you were little.

Father, you're the best.

I'll go prepare now. Thank you, father.

No, daughter!

[Prince Rui's Mansion]

Xu Zeyu,

you can't escape from my grasp!

Miss, what are you smiling
at your arm for every day?

Your Highness,

do you notice anything
different about me today?

You...

what are you doing?

Don't you want me to see

what's different about you today?

So, did you notice anything?

The same silliness.

Your Highness, I am here
for the consort selection today.

If I don't get selected,
I won't be able to show my face.

In return for taking an arrow for you,

why don't you go easy on me?

Are you trying to use the back door?

Yes, indeed.

Do you really want
to enter the mansion as a consort?

Of course.

I am sincere to you.

Don't you believe me?

Miss Bai, please behave.

Your Highness, the
auspicious time has arrived.

We can depart now.

Let's see

Miss Bai's wonderful performance later.

[Prince Rui's Mansion]

What do you want?

Little sister, I'm determined
to get the position of Princess Consort.

I see you're still young,

so don't get involved in this mess.

Go back quickly.

Watch out!

We need to create innovative

and sensational anime themes.

What did you draw?

Can you capture the current market?

[It really is a small world.]

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You are...

Bai Youke.

The legitimate daughter
of Prime Minister Bai. I've heard of you.

May I know who you are?

I am Qiao Shuangshuang, the second daughter

of the governor of Ning City
and the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager.

Oh, just the daughter of a small governor.

One might think you're a princess
from some country,

- Being so arrogant. - You...

Miss Qiao, I see you have a beautiful face

but such a malicious heart.

Bullying the weak

is not something to be proud of.

If the Empress Dowager finds out,

it could tarnish your reputation.

I was just kindly reminding you.

Since you don't appreciate it, forget it.

Miss,

this person doesn't seem like a good person.

Don't worry, she can't beat me.

I've read so many palace intrigue novels.

- These little tricks. - Palace intrigue?

Don't concern me.

[Feiyun Pavilion]
Miss Qiao

truly deserves the title
of the most talented women in the world.

Her musical skills are so exquisite.

I'm afraid the position
of Princess Consort is hers for sure.

Miss Bai,

what talent will you show us?

Miss Qiao, you're really concerned about me.

I don't know any of the arts,

so I won't embarrass myself here.

She doesn't know any of the arts.

We shouldn't learn from her.

Okay, I'll definitely study hard in the future.

But I won't give up the position

of Princess Consort.

The ladies are performing arts,

but I learned some tricks

from foreigners.

Let me show you today.

Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits,
super transformation!

This must be celestial magic!

Miss Bai must have received divine teachings.

Yes, indeed.

This is called magic.

What magic?

Just some street performer's tricks,

not worth showing.

Yes.

- It's amazing! - Yes.

Flowers for the hero.

Miss Youke,

I am not a hero.

Your Highness, you lead soldiers
to defend the land and protect the people.

In my heart, you are a hero.

Miss Youke is always so special,

always doing things

beyond my expectations.

Then I'll take it as a compliment from you.

It's just a trivial skill,

yet you dare to perform it here.

This is a consort selection,

looking for a lady

proficient in the arts,

not a street performer.

Tao, don't speak nonsense.

The foundation of a nation lies in its people.

Whether they are laborers

or performers,

they are all part of this country.

You are here

not just because of your parents,

but because of the contributions

of all the people.

I…

I didn't expect Miss Youke

to have such awareness.

Miss Bai's words

make me feel ashamed.

I was clearly talking about your performance,
but you're twisting words!

Alright, quiet down.

I already have an idea
about the consort selection today.

The results will be announced shortly.

[Elegant and Graceful]

Your Highness,

I find Miss Bai quite interesting.

She always surprises us.

And when she's near you,

your gynophobia doesn't act up.

You two are truly a match made in heaven.

I don't think

she has any ulterior motives.

Maybe she really likes you.

Your Highness, perhaps you should…

Sorry for my rudeness.

So, Your Highness, about today's ladies...

Today,

the candidate who can
enter the Prince's Mansion

is Qiao Shuangshuang,
the daughter of the governor of Ning City.
