There were many consorts in the Qin palace, and schemes and rivalries never ceased. Zhao Yu became a thorn in everyone's side, and the consorts constantly plotted against her. She never realized that Ying Sang had been protecting her in secret all along.
Just as Ying Sang and Zhao Yu were about to confess their feelings, the real Princess Rong Jiang returned... Ying Sang: Xiao Yu, you rejected me so decisively back then, yet in the end you still married me... Zhao Yu: A Fei, as long as you stop being so fierce, I won't run away...
