Meng Qingci, the Great Zhou dynasty's eldest princess, was breathtakingly beautiful, but also ruthless and used to doing whatever she pleased.
At a palace banquet, she took one look at Zhou Heng'an, heir to the fallen Marquis of Changping household, and chose him. Everyone called it absurd. They said that if the Marquis's heir fell into her hands, his life would be ruined.
Zhou Heng'an was already engaged, but she broke off the match by force and kept him at her side.
Yet Zhou Heng'an only grew to despise her more. "Your Highness's behavior makes me sick."
Meng Qingci smiled. "But I can see how happy you are to see me."
Then one day, a rumor spread that Meng Qingci was not the late emperor's daughter at all, and that her title as eldest princess was false. The revelation sent everyone into an uproar.
Watching her fall from the clouds and become the object of everyone's ridicule and contempt, Zhou Heng'an felt a surge of satisfaction, and thoughts of revenge took root.
But one night, the dejected Meng Qingci fell into a lake and nearly drowned. When she woke, her personality had changed. A blow to her head had left her unable to remember the people and events around her, but she still remembered Zhou Heng'an.
She tried to hide in his arms, only for him to shove her away. "I should repay Your Highness a hundredfold for what you did to me."
At the Spring Blossom Banquet, the once aloof and proud princess now stood in silence as the crowd bullied her. Eyes red, she looked at the man among them, but Zhou Heng'an merely watched coldly, unmoved.
He thought it was all part of her schemes, another attempt to play hard to get. He sneered. "Are you done playing, Your Highness? How long do you intend to keep up this act?"
Meng Qingci turned away and wiped her reddened eyes. "Heng'an, I didn't. I'm scared. I have no one left but you."
Ha. She was a convincing actress... He swept out in front of everyone.
But later, she changed. The woman who once smiled only at him and wanted nothing but to be wrapped up in love with him no longer had eyes for him. Instead, she laughed and flirted with someone else, and was even going to marry him.
For the first time, the usually composed Zhou Heng'an lost control. He pulled her into his arms. "Meng Qingci, could you please look at me?"
