hear me out, what about a fengqing medieval au. feng xi/fem mu qing. i dont have kingdom names or anything yet. also slight ooc for the last part princess mu qing in all her cold and sarcastic splendour and feng xin being her bodyguard. they bicker constantly, if it weren't for feng xin's background as a commoner, they would both be seen as lovers. little do they know, feng xin is the crown prince of a distant kingdom to spy on the royal family (bc feng xin's kingdom and mu qing's kingdom aren't on good terms). but he ends up falling in love with mu qing, which he finds kinda odd since he has a fear of women. since mu qing is a fucking bitch to everyone, the king finally gives up on finding a suitor for her until the king has the idea to hold a joust for his daughter's hand. promising that if they win his daughter's hand in marriage and a huge fucking dowry since almost all the kingdoms have heard of her insufferable attitude and constant eye rolling. because of the promise of the huge dowry, all the princes come from all over to win this joust. mu qing isn't told of this until the day of since they know that she'll do something to sabotage or run away with the aid of feng xin. but mu qing learned of the tournament beforehand, and she's ridiculously calm about it, or at least feng xin thinks, but he finds her brekaing down in tears and they talk for a bit and he vowes to somehow save her from this fate, however that may be. mu qing is skeptical since only those of royal backgrounds can compete, but she trusts him wholeheartedly and agrees to stay calm and trust in him. feng xin then asks for a few days of leave, mu qing is desperate and suspicious but agrees. the day of the tournament arrives and feng xin still hasn't returned, mu qing's nerves are as taut as a wire. her maids dress her in her finest gown and jewellery to sit in the stands and observe the princes jousting for her hand. all the princes are extremely good at jousting, but one shines above all. defeating everyone with such ease. they're rumoured to be the crown prince of the kingdom of southeast, who's straightforward nature angers those, they're apparently quick to anger and curse excessively over everything. no one can verify the rumours since the prince refuses to speak or remove their helmet in public. their identity being a mystery. if the rumours are true, mu qing would rather die than marry someone like the crown prince. as the tournament progresses, mu qing can't help but feel uneasy as the mysterious prince wins victory after victory. finally leading to the finals, the two finalists ready to joust. when given the word they start, the rumoured crown prince knocks down his opponent immediately earning a swift and easy victory. the king announces that the enigmatic prince has won, but in order to meet his bride he must remove his helmet. the prince easily agrees, after refusing the entire tournament. he removes his helmet to reveal that he is indeed the rumoured crown prince but also feng xin, the princess's bodyguard. mu qing is incredibly surprised, rising from the stands with shaky legs to meet her soon-to-be husband. when she gets over the initial shock, she restrains the urge to run to feng xin and wrap her around them. he gets on his knees in front of her, any sense of tiredness seeming to have vanished as he kneels for his bride and his princess, last but not least the love of his life. "Your highness, the princess..." he murmurs, kissing her hand. "your lowly servant wishes you to seek your hand in marriage. i promise to love you til the end of my life." mu qing nods mutedly, blushing as she whispers softly. "i accept..." the king and the rest of the court is in shock, the bodyguard that the princess had always bickered with had turned out to be the crown prince of the southeast. when mu qing and feng xin wed, they would unify the two kingdoms. of course restoring and repairing the wounds of the past would take ages, but the two kingdoms would be united in love and harmony.
