The Crown Prince Eloped, and the Crown Princess Quit

Qu Song'an, the legitimate daughter of the Ding'an Marquis household and the capital's foremost talented young woman, is accomplished in both letters and arms and beautiful enough to captivate a kingdom. So what?

From the time she was little, her family told her again and again that she was destined to become the Crown Princess, that she belonged to him.

She, too, secretly fell for the brilliant and valiant Crown Prince, her heart having long since settled on him.

She mastered the qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, riding, archery, and martial arts, all so she could be worthy of him and stand by his side.

On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, she was finally betrothed to him. Her heart filled with joy as she dreamed of the future and of a lifetime spent by his side.

But he disappeared...

The Emperor fell ill, and the Empress was forced to govern in his stead. Prince An was poised to seize power.

She, Qu Song'an, led the Ding'an Army and stood before the palace gates, using her own flesh and blood to build a wall.

"If you want to enter this palace, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

Later, he returned, but he had forgotten her, forgotten everything...

He looked at her coldly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes. "Who are you?"

She risked everything and fought to bring him back to the capital, but he returned with another woman.

He pointed to the woman and said to her, "This is Chu Wan, my wife."
