[Pure and Faithful Couples] [Traditional Historical Romance and Household Intrigue] [The Heroine Chases Her Husband to the Crematorium] [The Second Male Lead Takes the Lead]
Pei Shirui is the daughter of a military general. Frail and sickly since childhood, she grew up on the frontier and never learned to read a single character.
To stay alive, she leaves the frontier for the capital. On her very first day, she meets the man she has been promised to in marriage.
For three years, she follows him every day, hoping to earn a tender glance from him.
But to her surprise, he insists on breaking off their engagement, claiming that Miss Pei is illiterate and uncouth, then hurries off to Manlou to see the legendary Liu Xiao, whose skill at the zither is said to be unmatched in the world.
Pei Shirui takes back the token of their betrothal and smiles faintly. Who would wait in the same place for you forever?
When the final note fades, her former fiancé, who had just broken off the engagement, stares in disbelief at the person on the high platform whom he admires above all others. It is none other than the fiancée he had cast aside like trash.
On the road to the prince's selection of a consort, the carriage of every candidate is either damaged or overturned.
Pei Shirui enters the palace with a pounding heart, never imagining that she will be the only noble young woman from a prominent family competing to become the prince's consort.
The prince waves his hand. Her, then. A match made in heaven.
