I am the person He Lianshan, a hostage prince from the Southern Kingdom, hates most in this life.
When he was ten, a group of palace maids and eunuchs bullied him and denied him food. The one steamed bun he managed to snatch was crushed beneath my foot.
When he was fourteen, the palace held a banquet. In front of every prince and princess, I shoved He Lianshan into a pond, heedless of everything, just after he had finally managed to clean himself up.
But fate played a cruel trick: when he came of age, I was betrothed to him as his wife.
On our wedding night, he would rather spend the evening chatting animatedly with a lowborn dancer than step into our bridal chamber and touch me.
But what he doesn't know is that I've done all of this for years to save him.
