[Chu Shining × Zhou Liyan | “An ancient feud is hard to resolve. They are bound together for life, loving and hurting each other.” | They join hands to overcome their families’ feud and fall in love]
/
The chains of her family’s old feud hold Chu Shining fast. All she wants is to live in peace, but her fate is full of misfortune: her enemy arranges for her to marry the Crown Prince of the capital, Zhou Liyan. She becomes a Crown Princess whom everyone doubts and despises. Chu Shining keeps reminding herself that she must not allow herself even the slightest hope.
On their wedding night, Chu Shining and Zhou Liyan clash for the first time. Their encounter is far from pleasant, but it gives Chu Shining a new understanding of the Crown Prince.
In the capital and within the Eastern Palace, she stays on her guard at every step, proceeding with utmost caution. She builds a wall around her heart and repeatedly tells herself not to entertain impossible hopes, keeping her family’s hatred close to heart.
Zhou Liyan presses closer and closer, gradually breaking through her defenses. He shows her through his actions that his feelings are sincere, telling her that even if their love is separated by a generations-old feud, he will defy fate and stay by her side.
When everyone says she is no good, Zhou Liyan tears down the rumors for her.
When she says she wants to go out and see the world, he takes her to all kinds of places beyond the capital without a second thought.
As time passes, Chu Shining’s resolve begins to waver. Little by little, she lets down her guard, and her feelings for Zhou Liyan gradually become clear.
