Their first encounter and already 13th Prince marked her as his soulmate (he noticed she was uncharacteristic of those coming from 8th Prince’s estate). Albeit platonically, indeed the two great minds alike were predestined to be eternal BFFs.
They never explained in the drama series why 13th Prince was never romantically attracted to Ruo Xi, like they did in the book. Apparently 13th Prince’s mother was very ladylike and a gentle soul that he grew up adoring women with similar traits.
As for Ruo Xi, the fact that she showed him her fierce and fiery side during her infamous catfight-down-to-the-pond scene with Ming Yu somewhat distinguished any romantic attraction he might have had for her.
Let’s cheer for the sexy stares he showered her during their first encounter. And the next. And the next.
