She is hereby betrothed to Prince Zhao as his consort, with the wedding to take place on the eighth day of next month.” Shen Qingyan was betrothed to her aunt’s adopted son. She wept as she climbed into the bridal sedan, marrying a man she did not love. On their wedding night, the man drank the nuptial wine alone, did not lift her veil, and cut his finger to leave a blood mark instead. He did not share her bed. Beichen Jing began living apart from his wife as soon as they were married. In public, he played the attentive husband, caring for her in every way. In private, they treated each other with polite reserve and kept out of one another’s affairs. On the fifth day of their marriage, war broke out at the border again, and Beichen Jing requested permission to lead the troops once more. “As the royal family’s daughter-in-law, the Princess Consort enjoys the blessings of the imperial house and should be understanding.” Newlywed Shen Qingyan went to the city gates to see him off. Her new husband did not look back from atop his horse. The only thing he had said was “Take care” the night before. At the end of the year, on the Princess Consort’s seventeenth birthday, Prince Zhao returned victorious. The couple, who had been apart for half a year, looked at each other in silence... The aloof prince, newly married: Let’s just treat each other with polite respect. The prince, forever lost in love: My princess, I’m blessed to have won your heart in this lifetime.
