Goodbye, Peach Blossoms

In the thirty-fifth year of the Tai'an era, the fifteen-year-old heir to Prince Heng, Li Yu, came first in the imperial examinations under the identity of an ordinary candidate. His achievement brought glory to his ancestors and made him the talk of the town.

His paternal uncle, the Emperor, was overjoyed. He bestowed countless treasures, gold and silver, silks and satin, a display of boundless imperial grace. But he hadn't expected his own nephew to politely decline everything, asking only for a promise from the Emperor.

Li Yu: Imperial Uncle, you are a man of your word. You promised that if I came first in the examinations, you would grant me one request.

Emperor: I never go back on my word. Speak, Yu'er.

Li Yu: I... I want to marry the daughter of Prime Minister Lin.

The Emperor was dumbfounded. Prime Minister Lin had five sons and one daughter. His only daughter, Lin Ran, was six years older than Li Yu, and on top of that, she was a widow whose husband had died.

Reborn, all I want is to protect you and give you a place to call your own.
