Li Xuan was born into privilege. Her father was the Marquis of Lingnan, and her mother was a princess. One commanded the military, the other held sway over the entire court. Even princes and princesses had to give her a wide berth.
Spoiled rotten from childhood, she was willful and arrogant.
Who could have known that her reckless behavior would hurt others and make her pay with her own happiness for the rest of her life?
One day, she rode her horse recklessly through a garden and trampled the Jin hostage, breaking both his legs.
Watching the Jin hostage in his wheelchair endure endless humiliation at Princess Linqing's hands, she finally stepped forward. Standing before him, she promised, “I'll take responsibility for you. If nobody else wants you, I, Li Xuan, do. From now on, you'll be my man, and I'll protect you.”
From then on, the Jin hostage, who had struggled to survive in the cracks, had someone to protect him: a young wife who was fiery-tempered in public and gentle and considerate in private (not really).
