Before Chonghua became the king of Chen Kingdom, Ganlu was with him. Even though she knew that there was someone deep in his heart, that woman was dead. She thought that she was his future and she wanted to be his queen.
After Chonghua came to the throne, for four years, the harem was vacant, except for Mrs. Ganlu.
Ganlu thought that the throne was unstable and the world was in chaos. She should give Chonghua some time. The throne would be hers sooner or later.
But later, Chonghua named his deceased sweetheart Queen Wenxuan, and also wanted to find a new successor.
Ganlu was sad but refused to give up and went to confront Chonghua.
He was impatient: "I have been living this great spring and Autumn dream with you for four years, and you are still not satisfied?"
Ganlu contradicted him, and he was accused of being disrespectful and thrown into the Yeting Palace.
On the night after Chonghua welcomed the new year, Ganlu escaped from Yeting Palace and inserted a dagger into his heart. Unfortunately, it missed by three points and failed to kill him.
Chonghua pressed the dagger and issued an order: "Mrs. Ganlu intends to kill the king and will be thrown into death row. Tomorrow, she will be killed without mercy."
That night, a fire reduced Death Row to rubble.
After hearing the news, Chonghua was silent for a long time. He rejected the palace officials' proposal for a grand burial and only said: "From now on, there will be no more Mrs. Ganlu in the palace."
A year later, his younger brother brought back a woman from Western Tibet, whom he said was his new favorite.
This woman wears a veil, is lively and charming, and often hangs around him, calling him "Brother Wang" just like his brother.
Sometimes, they would also ask him: "Brother Wang, have you ever experienced the feeling of asking for something but not getting it?"
He has never tasted it and never will.
Motto: Love has a price
