Peach Blossom

Zeng Luoyuan, youngest daughter of the Marquis of Qu Yuan and younger sister of the current empress, is known by the childhood name Taoyao.

In the third year of Yize, Taoyao enters the palace on the Empress Dowager's orders to care for the gravely ill empress.

In her first month in the palace, the empress and Empress Dowager work together to make her a Zhaoyi. No one cares that she and Xiao Cheng can't stand each other.

Her family is powerful, and no one in the harem dares target her. She pays no attention to anyone, and Xiao Cheng is no exception. He never gets a kind look from her.

When the empress dies, she reins in her temper, shuts out the world, and devotes herself to caring for the child the empress left behind.

As for Xiao Cheng, he treats her like an honored ancestor he has to keep in the palace. He only visits now and then to see his frail son and give him some gifts.

Everyone in the palace thinks Zhaoyi Zeng is the least formidable rival.

Until, at the little prince's funeral, Xiao Cheng sees Zeng Luoyuan sobbing uncontrollably and feels a pang of sympathy for her.

And Zeng Luoyuan, after crying for days, sees the person standing in the doorway of her bedchamber and rushes straight into his arms.

In Huayang Palace, Xiao Cheng builds a peach garden for no other reason than the graceful figure in peach-colored palace robes beneath the peach trees that year.

Peach trees in bloom, their blossoms radiant.
