He is the greatest merchant in the land and the emperor's own cousin.

She came to the capital seeking her father, but through a twist of fate became a princess from Huijiang sent to marry for peace.

She is a princess named Aoxue who has taken someone else's place; he is a nobleman of the imperial family. They were never meant to meet, but a political marriage brought them together.

The whole capital gossiped that he had married an ugly woman and fled on their wedding night. Little did they know that the moment her red veil fell, he had already glimpsed her breathtaking beauty. For the first time in his life, he was overcome with panic. Like someone fleeing a flood or a ferocious beast, he wanted to run far away from her.

She never dared hope for his love, yet he loved only her.

He took her on a nighttime stroll through a valley to watch fireflies dance across the sky.

He once gazed at her tenderly and said, “Don't think so little of yourself. No one but you will ever take the place of the young madam of the Shangguan household.”

Among ten miles of peach blossoms, he said, “The peach tree is lush and flourishing, its fruit ripening in abundance.”

Her favorite words of his were, “Don't be afraid. I'm here.” Those four words seemed to have a magic of their own, giving her endless courage and strength.

He wrote their marriage certificate: Shangguan Rongzhi and Jiang Xinyue.

Bound together for life, forever united...
