[The aloof beauty goes mad for love VS the parkour pro]
While recovering from his injuries in Ping'an County, Chu Yue met a young woman.
She was passionate and bold, and her smile shone like the sun.
Under her fierce pursuit, he fell for her, sinking deeper with every step.
After an accident, they became husband and wife, exchanging vows before the Guanyin Temple.
But just as he decided to formally take her as his wife, she left him a divorce letter and ran away.
Chu Yue crushed the paper, laughing in exasperation.
A Xi, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I'll find you.

Song Xi escaped a great fire by the skin of her teeth, lost her memory, and somehow ended up being brought back to the imperial palace.
At her investiture ceremony as a princess, she met Chu Yue for the first time.
His features were strikingly beautiful, his posture as upright as a pine, like an immortal banished from a painting.
But she always felt his gaze on her was especially cold.
When someone framed her, he walked away indifferently.
When she was punished while learning the rules, he sneered and mocked her.
Even the birthday gift he gave her was just an ugly stone worth next to nothing!
She couldn't understand why this imperial brother, whom everyone praised for his gentlemanly conduct, seemed to target her at every turn.
At the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the empress chose a husband for Song Xi, and the young noblemen vied for her favor.
She stared at the third-place winner of the palace examinations without looking away and said shyly, "I'll leave it to Mother to decide."
Beside her, Chu Yue's face turned terrifyingly cold.
In a dimly lit chamber, he backed her into a corner, his eyes full of gloom. "Dear little sister, with me here, who else do you think you can marry?"
Song Xi was startled. "W-We are siblings!"
Chu Yue abruptly gripped her chin, his voice full of both hurt and resentment.
"A Xi, do you really not remember at all? We used to be husband and wife."
Song Xi's head throbbed. As she looked at his frenzied expression, a memory came back in a daze:
She really had been married before.
And it seemed she was the one who divorced him.
