To avenge herself, Yun Wei conceals her identity and becomes the Buddhist crown prince's trial bride maid.
The man is ascetic and desireless, with no love for power or beauty. She goes to great lengths to make him break his vows on the eve of his wedding, and succeeds in drawing his attention too.
When they're alone, he treats her coldly. But the moment anyone else is around, he can hardly wait to give her all his favor.
"Your Highness, don't do this. The Crown Princess is watching from outside." Wrapped around him, she laughs like a flower in full bloom.
"Don't get carried away!"
They say there's a bed-climbing maid in the Eastern Palace who has bewitched the Crown Prince into giving her his whole heart.
But only Yun Wei knows he's doing it to humiliate the Crown Princess.
The Crown Prince doesn't love the Crown Princess, and as it happens, neither does she.
At some point, the Crown Prince began to pinch her chin and glare at her angrily. "How devious. You sneaked a look at the portrait I keep hidden, and now you look more and more like her."
Yun Wei didn't understand, until she saw that portrait later.
It was unmistakably her!
