Zheng'd made a promise to his father and he intended to fulfill it. The Fork-Tongued Princess is exactly what it says and tells her story of being on the run to find someone she can marry because her father thinks she is horrid. But she's really beautiful before they know of her tongue. You see, she had a talent other than her ability to change form: she could make small moments repeat themselves.I’ll protect you, little brothers and sisters.
