A Sequel to My Fair Princess: Mo Xin

Three years ago, Yongqi chose Xinrong, leaving Xiaoyanzi utterly devastated and desperate to run away. On the road, she happened to hear that Ertai was in trouble. With nowhere else to go, she decided to visit an old friend. She walked all the way from Yunnan to Mongolia. Two of her toenails fell off, and the scabs on her soles kept forming and breaking open. She didn't know why she was going to Mongolia. She only knew one thing: Ertai was waiting for her.

She hid in the camp for two days and saw him kneeling outside Saiya's tent, his knees torn open to the bone. He didn't make a sound as the whip struck him. When the whip rose again, she burst out from behind a haystack and spread her arms in front of him. “Stop!”

She helped Ertai up and dragged him out of the camp, hiding him in a cellar for three days and three nights. He burned with fever, murmuring, “Don't hit me.” She chewed medicinal herbs for him, bandaged his wounds, and held his trembling body while calling his name over and over. She didn't close her eyes once for three days and nights.

Later, he woke up. She thought it was all over. But when they returned to the capital, an imperial decree of marriage was issued for Ertai and the Guwalgiya clan's daughter. Ertai knelt in the imperial study for an hour, his knees bleeding, and said to the emperor, “I will not marry Guwalgiya. I want Princess Huanzhu.”

From traveling a thousand miles to stand by him in a cellar, from the turmoil of the imperial betrothal to stealing a moment beneath the moon, from newlywed bliss to a family spanning two generations, she waited a lifetime for him to turn back to her. He waited a lifetime for her to see him.
