[Palace fight for power + marriage first, love later + running in both directions]
Taifu Yan and Yan Zheng, the daughter of the former princess of Kyoto City. Due to their special status, the daughter of a noble family lived a modest life, so when she was young, she entered into an engagement with Wen Chen, the young master of the Wen family. The two were childhood sweethearts and devoted themselves to the Wen family, becoming his virtuous wife.
The Wen family came from a medical family. The young man had lofty aspirations and went to Chaoge to learn superb medical skills. He could inherit the family business and practice medicine to save people. Before leaving, he gave her a picture of lotus flowers in the four seasons as a token of love. He said "Wait for me" and he fell in love with her. She insisted on waiting for three years. Even though she was approaching the age of hairpins, she did not tie her hair up. Instead, he took his beloved back to Beijing.
Seeing him holding her in his arms and doting on her, he wanted to bring back his childhood love but it hurt her too deeply. He decided to put his feelings aside, but was entangled by a careless and domineering man.
Wen Chenan realized his true inner feelings.
Wen Chenan: She was born for me, and she loves me too;
Ling Xiaoyi: You daydream, I cherish my little Yan Zheng.
