Life at the impoverished nunnery was hard. To pay for her master's treatment, the young nun Baoxian took money from an old woman in exchange for pinning the label of lecher on the Third Young Master next door.
When she risked herself to lure the Third Young Master, she saw another man living in the courtyard. He looked refined and handsome, a man without equal, but was actually steeped in evil.
Baoxian had a bright idea. She made the Third Young Master drink a bowl of medicine and dragged him into that man's room.
She herself fled, ignoring anyone who cried that the world had fallen into depravity and that she'd disgraced all propriety. She was acting on Heaven's behalf!
Later, after Baoxian became Princess Fujia, she learned that the man was Ming Zhao, the third son of the Ming family, the Grand Tutor who commanded the emperor's six guards and slaughtered thirty thousand people in Hejian.
Whoever he was, it didn't matter to Baoxian. From then on, she would just avoid him.
The hateful Third Young Master Ming held a grudge and seized every last bit of wealth she'd painstakingly amassed.
This was unforgivable! Baoxian would not stand for it!

At the royal autumn hunting tournament,
Jiang Baoxian clamored to go to Jade Island to cause trouble for Ming Zhao.
When Ming Zhao heard, he gave a sinister smile.
He set up layer after layer of defenses on the island and made a huge production of it, all so Jiang Baoxian would never make it back and would fall into his hands, with no hope of help no matter where she went.
He waited calmly for Baoxian to walk into his trap.
But Baoxian turned back halfway, devoting all her time and energy to figuring out how to rake in more money.
Later, Baoxian broke her promises again and again.
Ming Zhao went from taking it in stride to being tormented to the point of bone-deep anguish by the shameful feelings in his heart.
After much soul-searching, Ming Zhao suddenly understood: Baoxian had dropped from the sky and picked fights with him time and again. She seemed to be provoking him, but really, she was deliberately making him pay attention to her, so that he would think only of her and no one else.
Ming Zhao finally reached his conclusion: she was deeply in love with him.
Until one day, he heard Baoxian say with his own ears that she didn't like him at all...
