The prince broke off the engagement, and I turned around and married his uncle.
A contract marriage, each gets what he wants.
He used my ability to control floods to clean up the court, and I relied on his power as a prince to defeat the scum. From the Handan flood to the shady story of the imperial examination, from arms corruption to the mysterious case of the palace, we worked together to solve strange cases and tear open the deepest scars of the royal family. The prince regretted it, the aristocratic family was afraid, but the prince who had agreed to "reconciliation in two years" pushed me against the wall with red eyes:
"The contract is void. Shen Heng, this is my job, and I want you for life.
The world laughed at Shen Heng, the legitimate daughter of the Ministry of Industry, for being arrogant, rejecting the Eastern Palace but clinging to the idle prince.
But I don't know——
When she was pointing out the mountains and rivers by the Ling River, his eyes were shining behind her;
When she was attacked in the court hall, he drew his sword in front of the palace to protect her;
Until she pushed the revised He Li Shu back to him:
"Your Majesty, the contract has expired. "
He tore up the contract in public and held her writing hand:
"Shen Heng, the contract is void. Now, I'm going to start chasing you seriously. "
What he thought was a chess game turned out to be a lifelong obsession.
