[Possessive pursuit + winning her back after losing her + revenge on the scum + a touch of angst]
The seemingly aloof and noble Crown Prince is actually obsessive and unhinged, while the heroine is clear-eyed and courageous.
(The heroine is weak at first, but awakens and takes revenge.)
At a spring banquet, Ye Songning, the legitimate eldest daughter of the Chief Secretary, is framed as having seduced the Crown Prince. He coldly humiliates her: “Shameless.”
The emperor issues an edict condemning the Ye family’s daughter as immoral, making Ye Songning a laughingstock across Rongjing. Her father, Ye Zhongying, rushes to send her away to a country estate, leaving her to fend for herself.
Three years later, she returns transformed. She takes on her stepmother, punishes her vile half-sister, clears her name, exposes the mastermind, and proves her innocence.
Along the way, she meets Xie Shian. The two become kindred spirits, and both the Mu and Xie families are pleased with the match.
They therefore ask Emperor Rongren to grant them an engagement.
But the usually composed and aloof Crown Prince loses control in open court. A storm brews in his dark eyes, and he says coldly, “Father, shouldn’t you make sure of Songning’s feelings first? What if a blessed match turns into a bitter marriage?”
Yet Ye Songning’s unequivocal answer cuts Pei Yijing to the heart.
He stubbornly clutches her sleeve, as if that could make her his.
Ye Songning tears the sleeve free without hesitation. She wants nothing to do with the Crown Prince.
Their entanglement, too, is severed like a strip of torn silk, and their bond is at an end.
Once the imperial decree of betrothal is issued, there is no turning back.
But how could Crown Prince Pei Yijing simply let it go?
He goes mad and tries to steal the bride, completely disregarding Emperor Rongren’s fury.
On their wedding night,
Pei Yijing strides in, bringing the storm with him. His gaze is icy as he says, “Ye Songning, for the rest of your life, you will be mine.”
