[Marriage before love, love triangle, running away while pregnant, personal growth and a comeback]
On the day Yan Bingxin married Zhong Nanjiang, the emperor fell gravely ill. He left before he could even lift her bridal veil.
He was gone, and they didn't see each other for three years.
Forgotten in the back courtyard, she had neither food nor drink, and could barely get by.
He walked on eggshells in officialdom, constantly on edge, and hardly ever made it home.
She thought he had deliberately forgotten her.
He thought she was observing mourning for her family in the back courtyard.
Until the emperor noticed Bingxin Tower, the business she had founded.
That was when the two of them finally met for the first time.
Right in front of him, the emperor even tried to steal her away: “Enter the palace and become my consort.”
…
Xia Muchen fell in love with Yan Bingxin at first sight.
He knew she was already spoken for, but he still couldn't help throwing himself at her.
