Princess Mingyue was peerlessly beautiful, gentle, and dignified. There was just one little hobby unknown to outsiders: concocting medicinal formulas.
One day, in order to develop a potion to help her friend forget love, the princess personally tested it.
Who could have guessed that when the formula took effect, something would go slightly awry? The princess's memories became muddled, and she became convinced that she had a beloved who was deeply devoted to her and with whom she could never part.
Just then, the young general with countless military achievements arrived in the capital to meet the emperor. In the silent passageways of the imperial palace, the princess took her "token of love" and cornered him against the wall.
At a young age, Pei Yunqi pacified Beijin in a single campaign, earning himself a marquisate and widespread renown. Yet no one knew his true identity.
After arriving in the capital to meet the emperor, he planned to take revenge. He never expected to be repeatedly intercepted by that unreasonable princess.
"Brother Yunqi, this is the jade pendant I made for you. I carved it myself!"
"Brother Yunqi, come riding with me. Just the two of us!"
"Brother Yunqi, I'll be waiting for you at the teahouse. You have to come. I have something very important to tell you!"
Whenever he said no, her eyes would turn red, and she would start sobbing.
He was at his wit's end, so he could only accompany her in this charade, exasperated.
Later, the potion's lingering effects completely wore off, and the princess returned to her usual gentle, dignified self.
Thinking of how outrageous she had been lately, the princess apologetically expressed her regret to General Pei.
"My behavior was improper, though I did not mean it. I hope you won't hold it against me, General."
But who would have thought that the usually taciturn man would gaze at her darkly, his eyes filled with the resentment of someone who had been seduced and then abandoned?
So you've already forgotten me?
Don't expect me to let this go!
