A dimwitted prince was persuaded to rebel, only to fail in the end.
To stop the fool from doing anything else stupid, Chu Yi flew into a rage and sent Chu Ling off to marry into another kingdom.
Unexpectedly, before he even reached his destination, his bride was already chasing him down to kill him. Chu Ling cried, "Is this an attempt to murder your own husband?" Though, truth be told, he really didn't want to marry that ugly woman with her unremarkable looks.
On their wedding night, Chu Ling got his first taste of sitting alone until dawn. I am a prince, for heaven's sake. Was I just rejected?
"She's old and ugly. What gives her the right to reject me?"
"Your Highness, she is the ruler of a kingdom, after all."
"I'm a prince of Great Yu, and Chu Yi's own younger brother."
"Your Highness, could it be that you've fallen for the empress?"
"Impossible! That woman is devious. How could I possibly like her? I'm a prince of Great Yu, for heaven's sake."
The face-slapping came as fast as a tornado.
"Zhao Fenghe, you've toyed with my feelings again!"
Tune in for the tale of a goofy, arrogant prince and a scheming empress, and their tangled love and hate.
