[All descriptions of Xie Shuci use she/her pronouns]
[At the beginning, only the prince and princess, four maids, and the female physician know the heir's true identity]
[Miss Xu is always guessing]
Everyone said she was gentle and self-possessed, pure of heart, and noble by birth, yet able to tell right from wrong.
Only when she was with that one person did all her hidden feelings spill out.
Until the peach-blossom eyes she was infatuated with clearly reflected disgust and disdain.
She offered three years of life-and-death service on the battlefield as payment, personally delivering the imperial edict of betrothal and granting her beloved and her true love their wish.
She traveled far to the frontier, surviving one brush with death after another. She thought that time would wear away her obsession with the capital and bury it for good.
The person who had once been as bright as spring had long since become cold and proud, her sharp edges honed.
News of victory from the northern frontier arrived, and the army returned to the capital.
From high in a teahouse, Xu Qihan watched her turn her face to the side and speak gently and tenderly to another woman.
When she saw her give someone else the hairpin she had once received as a token of love, she couldn't help going over to confront her, eyes red.
"Our old feelings? What old feelings could there be between us?" Her voice was cold as frost. She wouldn't even spare her a glance.
