[A refined, restrained, secretly calculating top scholar x a seemingly clever and aloof but actually gentle and soft-hearted princess], one-on-one, both leads have only been with each other, happy ending
Princess Cui Yaozhi (Ningyun) met the young top scholar who had passed the highest imperial examination at the Lantern Festival that year.
"We have suffered a grave injustice, and fear we may never receive Heaven's pardon. Yet we believe the clouds will part and the sun will shine again. Today we fall, our bodies upon the ground, to pave a better road for those who come after us. But Your Majesty, yin and yang have changed places, and the times are out of joint. We dare not await punishment beneath your carriage canopy. We are departing now!"
Mu Xiao (Jinzhi) wore coarse brown hemp clothes. He was a young top scholar with the people in his heart. He had once worn deep crimson, so glorious and distinguished.
Only Yaozhi was left in tears.
