Banruo is the only daughter of Doctor Song of Huichun Hall.
Beautiful and kind-hearted, she often gives out porridge and rice, and freely provides medicine. In Jiangling City, she is known as a little Bodhisattva.
Unfortunately, she was betrothed from a young age, much to the heartbreak of countless young gentlemen.

Liang Yuan, Prince of Huai'an, is the younger brother of the current emperor. He is ruthless in his dealings and has won countless military victories.
Once, while traveling to Jiangling, he was ambushed, wounded, and fell off a cliff. A beautiful young woman rescued him.
The woman put him up in a wooden hut in the woods and changed his bandages every day. She was gentle and quiet, and rarely spoke.
Liang Yuan liked her thoughtfulness and promised her ten thousand taels of gold as a reward, but she refused.
After he recovered, the Prince of Huai'an left a gold ingot and departed without saying goodbye.

When they met again, he saw the young woman holding a handkerchief and tenderly wiping the sweat from the brow of a handsome young man.
A servant beside him said: That's Doctor Song of Huichun Hall's daughter and her fiancé. They're getting married in a few days. They really are a perfect match.
Liang Yuan had met her fiancé, Chen Xun, the eldest son of the Changling County magistrate. He was refined, courteous, and accomplished for his age.
Liang Yuan was in Changling on official business, staying at the county yamen.
Sensing someone's gaze, the young woman turned to look at him. Her expression was indifferent, as if he were a complete stranger.

The twenty-third year of Emperor Jianwen's reign brought a rare auspicious day. It was Banruo's wedding day.
But after the groom waited the entire day, the bride never arrived.
Banruo was taken to another room. A strange man lifted her bridal veil and smiled faintly at her. "Banruo, long time no see."
*
Liang Yuan held a high position. Having grown up amid blades and bloodshed, he had long since acquired a heart of stone.
Only Banruo remained beyond his reach. No matter how he threatened and coerced her or exhausted every means he possessed, he could never win the slightest bit of her affection.
A domineering, possessive romance!
