That year, Su Zhiyuan saved Prince Zhan, Ye Lingxiao, who was gravely wounded.
He was blind, and she lovingly nursed him back to health. After two years together, they fell in love.
To save him, she went to gather herbs and fell off a cliff.
Later, after Ye Lingxiao recovered, he returned to the capital.
She went to reveal her identity, but he mistook her for someone else, believing she was a scheming woman who had used him to rise in status. He cast her aside as though she were worthless.
He took her to bed night after night, but there was never any love.
Three years later, Su Zhiyuan was left with barely a breath after all the pain he had inflicted.
At last, she left him.
And Ye Lingxiao went completely mad!
When she returned, she was transformed. Now seated on the throne, she had countless admirers.
But the former Prince Zhan had long since become crazed with love and obsession.
"Zhiyuan, I was wrong..."
Su Zhiyuan looked down at him. "Your Highness, regret won't do you any good!"
