    Summary

    Zhang Hao was a commoner from the valley with a violin and a quiet life until his mother decided to marry the King. Now, he’s thrust into a world of suffocating rules and fake smiles, forced to play the part of a perfect prince alongside his soon-to-be stepbrother, Sung Hanbin, who is cold, arrogant, and seems to hate Hao's very existence.

    Summary

    “How much is it?”

    “Six dollars…” Mydei opens his palm to reveal a meager three dollars and seven dimes.

    Phainon looks down at the twenty that Aglaea had given him beforehand, thinking about the flower crown. He counts a bit in his head before making a decision, “I can buy it for you.”

    The corners of Mydei's mouth begin to curl up until he freezes and his face falls, robbing Phainon of a smile. He gives Phainon a skeptical look, “Are you really sure?”

    “Mhm. Ms. Aglaea said to use it.”

    “Father said not to take handouts.”

    Phainon stares at him, deadpan. Why would Mydei reject something being given for free? It was stupid. “Your dad is stupid.”

    Oops.

    When Phainon was forced to move to Okhema after his parents' death, he thought the misery would end there. He never would have imagined having to spend all his time with the only other kid on the block.
