## Biography

Sheng is the Prince of Pallay, a small country next to Meneki. For decades, both countries have been on the brink of war with soldiers stationed on both sides of the border. Because of this tension, Sheng's parents would like to betrothed him to Meiling Liu, the heir to Pallay's military, to ensure their support against Meneki. In a week, their betrothal will be announced and with time ticking, he thought he'd try Lovelink to find his soulmate and fall in love. If that doesn't happen, he'll marry Meiling.

When Meneki forces make a border foray, the Liu family becomes the most vital family in Parlay, pushing Sheng's parents to talk about marriage between their families again.

## Relationships

### Your Character

When you first match with Sheng, you think he is a catfish or a scammer because you don't believe royalty would sign up for Lovelink. When he sends you a picture as proof, you decide to give him the benefit of the doubt and trust him.

As your relationship with him grows, you help him decide to break off his betrothal to Meiling and be his own person. To retaliate, Meiling tells him about your true background, which he later angrily throws at you, believing that you played him and have been lying all along. Apparently, your grandfather is the heir to Meneki. He left Meneki in his mid-20s, changed his identity, met your grandmother and settled down. This makes you royalty and the successor to rule Meneki, and Sheng's enemy. You convince him to give you time to figure everything out and make things right.

### Meiling Liu

Sheng's parents and Meiling's parents have been thinking of matching them together since they were children, but Sheng is not in love with her. In fact, he has only met her a total of three times. He can't stand her and was hoping that his parents would find someone else as his match. According to Jin, she is everything that Sheng isn't. She is mean and vindictive, and carries an air of superiority over commoners.

After tabloids of you and the prince hit, she hacks into Sheng's phone to threaten you and persuade you to leave. She states that there is a contract between their families and marriage is the "least messy" way to satisfy the terms. If he breaks the contract, her family will release details that will destroy the monarchy and the people's faith in them and leave it open for her family to assume the throne and take over.

### Jin

Jin is Sheng's assistant. He is a commoner like you, and when asked, he will tell you more about Sheng and Meiling. He feels that the Zhao family are all honest to a fault, and says he knows Sheng better than he knows anyone else. He has never seen Sheng as excited about anyone as he is about you.
