After My Engagement Was Broken Off, I Married the Emperor

Lin Hua, Princess Ziyun, was jilted by Prince Qian, shocking all of Shengjing.

This... one was Princess Ziyun, personally bestowed the title by the Empress Dowager and loved like her own daughter. The other was the Empress Dowager's beloved youngest son. It was said that Prince Qian had fallen for a lowborn courtesan, which was why he broke off the engagement.
