Fu Wen, a prince of the current dynasty, fell for Ruan Yunqing, a woman from a mediocre aristocratic family.
From the moment he first saw her, her image was etched deep in his mind, impossible to forget. He begged his father to issue an imperial edict betrothing her to him.
Even though he knew it was only wishful thinking on his part, and that Ruan Yunqing did not want to marry him, he still offered her his sincere heart without hesitation, hoping only to win her favor.
For her sake, he was willing to give up everything. He even took off his clothes and offered to warm her bed, going so far as to seduce her with his body, all to make her fall for him.
Unfortunately, she was like a cold stone, impossible to warm no matter how long he held her. No matter how hard he tried to please her, she remained unmoved, leaving Fu Wen wounded by her coldness.
At last, with no other choice, he decided to give up and divorce her, allowing her to leave and seek the husband of her dreams.
What he didn't know was that she had already fallen for him after all his relentless advances...
