After Escaping from the Palace, I Made a Private Lifelong Commitment to Qing Leng Tan Hua

"On the eve of the wedding, I climbed out of the palace wall and met the man who would become the most powerful man in the future. He was still a poor scholar at that time and did not know that I was a princess. Later, he named me on the gold medal list and said to my father in the court: 'I am willing to pay thousands of miles of land to marry the ninth princess.' The whole court was in an uproar. Only I know that last night he was still kneeling at my feet, begging me not to marry."
