An ancient saying goes: "Hands soft as young shoots, skin smooth as congealed cream, neck like a longhorn beetle, teeth like melon seeds, forehead like a cicada, brows like moth wings, a charming smile, and beautiful eyes that glance about." That is a beauty.
Now, in the flourishing Northern Li dynasty, it is the first year of Yuankang. Everyone is saying, "The daughter of the Luo family has come of age, raised in her chambers, her beauty unmatched." And so, in a daze, I was bestowed upon the Prince of Jin. From hearsay, I learned that the prince, Mo Qianchen, was young but already famed for his military achievements. He could defeat enemies on the battlefield and win the hearts of beauties. Why? Everyone called him "as handsome as Pan An, with a grace surpassing Song Yu."
I thought that once I entered the Prince of Jin's household and became his princess consort, I could live without a care. Little did I know that "the young man came riding a bamboo horse, circling the bed and playing with green plums." He and Chu Lian, the famous courtesan of the day, were deeply in love. What place was there for me?
But even a childhood sweetheart can't beat a girl who appears out of nowhere. Dear readers, just watch how I win this prince's heart!
