But he was always after her dowry, and even got her young son killed to advance his career. Reborn, fourteen-year-old Sui He clutched the keys to the dowry her birth mother had left behind and told her stepmother she wanted to learn proper etiquette. It was also her way of choosing the life of a noblewoman. If she was going to be a concubine anyway, she might as well become the concubine of the most powerful man. Her target was the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace. After all, he had been reinstated before she died. But whenever she went to great lengths to “run into” the Crown Prince, Fourth Prince was there too. Every move she made to get closer to the Crown Prince was thwarted by him. The cold-faced beile kept telling himself, “She belongs to the Crown Prince,” yet couldn’t stop himself from jumping out a window to rescue her, sending her clothes anonymously, or standing in the shadows of the trees, watching her accept flowers from someone else until his knuckles turned white... He dreamed of her at night, sketched her, and was “coincidentally” there every time she ran into the Crown Prince. He overthought himself into madness, yet was too afraid of her rejection to confess his feelings.
