Wen Jiuning, the most distinguished young lady in Chang'an, had been betrothed to the Crown Prince of Great Xia for as long as she could remember. Everyone envied her good fortune. Unfortunately, her betrothed vanished without a trace.
Before heading south to search for him, she was filled with joy. But when she finally saw him, she found he was nothing like the gentle, courteous Crown Prince she'd remembered.
Though exceptionally handsome, he was unruly and did as he pleased.
His behavior was nothing like the heir of the Eastern Palace, hailed as the Purple Star. Instead, he seemed more like the notorious southern bandit said to commit every evil under the sun.
Even so, the two of them got married.
One day after their wedding, she heard news that a new emperor had ascended the throne and finally realized she'd married the wrong man.
Wen Jiuning faked her death to escape, thinking she'd never cross paths with her old acquaintance again. But during the Lantern Festival, when she went out wearing a phoenix crown,
she saw her former husband standing beneath the city tower, looking every bit like a demon from hell.
She fled in a panic, but he caught her slender hand and coaxed her, "A Ning, even a cursed fate is still fate. You can't escape me."
Behind the bed curtains, Wen Jiuning finally understood: a cursed fate is hard to break.
At first, when Yue Chuyi learned Wen Jiuning had mistaken him for someone else, he found it amusing. He deliberately toyed with the so-called Crown Princess of Great Xia, as if playing with a kitten.
Later on,
he traveled three thousand li from Gusu to Chang'an, alone and armed, just to hear her say from afar, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Jealousy shackled him, leaving him no room to retreat.
So, no matter how far apart they were, he was determined to win back his one and only wife.
