Born into nobility and blessed with breathtaking beauty, she was promised to the Crown Prince as his principal consort at a young age. She should have been cherished and envied by all, but everything fell apart overnight. The Crown Prince broke off the engagement, and she became a discarded pawn of her family. The Emperor then betrothed her to the gravely ill King of Chu, who was said to be on death's door. Rumor had it that the King of Chu suffered from madness. When an episode struck, he would eat human flesh raw and drink human blood. No one dared go near him. Everyone waited to see Qing Wu make a fool of herself, and even she had given up hope. On their wedding day, a pale, slender hand lifted the veil before her eyes. She dared not look up, and heard only a low, gentle voice say, "Don't be afraid." * The King of Chu was the Crown Prince's uncle. He had been struck by a deadly poison, and a court physician once declared that he would not live to see the following spring.

Whatever she wanted, he would find it and give it to her. Even the throne that had originally been hers: the empress's throne. - In the eyes of outsiders, the King of Chu was a fearsome, ruthless man.

It was only when Jing Li discovered that Qing Wu secretly buried the food she didn't like at the bottom of her bowl that he realized she was actually quite picky. At first, Jing Li reasoned with her, telling her there was no need to be so formal with him. Later, he stopped talking and simply picked the little girl up and kissed her. Then he warned her: If you do that again, I won't stop there. Only then did the little girl learn not to do it. She learned to ask for what she wanted and to act spoiled. But he still couldn't help himself. Seeing his sweet, delicate darling, he ended up bullying her until she cried.
