After her family fell into ruin, Bai Jiao came to the capital with her master and junior fellow disciple to make a living as performers.
It was her first time onstage with her master, performing for the imperial family.
But beside the Crown Prince in the audience, she saw a familiar face.
Bai Jiao thought she must have mistaken him for the young hunter she'd picked up a few days earlier. They looked exactly alike.
Her master and junior fellow disciple felt sorry for her, having been cheated out of both her money and her virtue, but they told her the truth: "That's Prince Jin. He deceived you."
Bai Jiao didn't believe them and chased after the young man to ask him. But he said, "I have never met you."
Many years later, with the savings she'd built up and a tiny little business empire inherited from her master, Jiao Jiao began living the extravagant life of a wealthy Jiangnan merchant.

Everyone had heard of the beautiful Lady Bai of Shengzhou, a jewel like a drop of fairy dew.
She began her career as a performer and had since become a wealthy and powerful merchant.
On horseback beyond the crowd, a young man in black armor tightened his reins, his heart trembling as he dared only gaze at her from afar.
He hadn't forgotten how, before departing for war, he had placed the jade pendant from their betrothal back in her hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "If I die in Bingzhou, will you remember me for a while?"
There was an innocent cruelty in Jiao Jiao's expression as she answered honestly: "No."
A fictional Northern Song setting, 1v1, HE. A groveling romance. The heroine's profession is based on performers in Song variety theater. This work was inspired by a research paper and my personal interests.
Theme: Earn well, work hard.
The leader of the rebel army who tried to take the princess of the previous dynasty as a plaything was pulled down from the altar by the squeamish princess and tortured severely in this life?? Click on the author's column, pay attention to "Broken Blade (Rebirth)", and appreciate the humble courtship life of the Flower of the High Mountain Consort!
"Eunuch origin"... I don't want to vomit this point. Can eunuchs still have children? It should be changed to "official background".
"Zangzhuo" means to put away one's stupidity and not let others laugh at it. It is a word of humility. According to the literary meaning, it should be changed to "Zangfeng".
That's all I saw. I'll check it out next time. The author has done a lot of hard work. He wrote it very well. It's great.

I really love this kind of heroine who is not centered on the male protagonist. This is the heroine who is not trapped by love.
