Spring Comes Year After Year

Jiang Futong is a princess who lives behind the vermilion palace walls. Compared with her brothers and sisters, she is barely noticed. To others, her finest moment was when the late emperor arranged her marriage to the heir of a duke.

Unfortunately, neither of the two people at the center of the engagement had feelings for the other. After the late emperor died, they met once with a screen between them and agreed to end the engagement.

Later, the princess left the capital. The heir to the duke, despite having broken off their engagement, tossed and turned at night, unable to shake the feeling that she was the woman he loved.

Once he finally confirmed that she was indeed the woman of his heart, he discovered that she was always getting caught up in one case after another. Of course, it would have been even better if she hadn't ended up with one of his colleagues.

The year Song Xiangyi came top of the imperial examinations, he repeatedly encountered a girl disguised as a man in the imperial palace. The second prince stood beside her and called her, "Little sister."

Whenever they happened to meet again, the princess would greet him.

Her smiling face haunted his dreams, impossible to forget.

Later, the second prince ascended the throne, and for reasons unknown, the princess left the capital and settled at the Linqiang Palace.

Song Xiangyi never saw her again after that.

Until one day, after Song Xiangyi was promoted to Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, he was working on a case and found a witness. That witness was the woman he loved, though she had taken on a different identity.

When she saw him, her eyes curved with a smile as she greeted him: "Assistant Minister Song."
