Jiang Yu is famous throughout the capital. As Princess Zhaohua, she is the most distinguished young lady in the city after the princesses.

In her previous life, the Grand Princess, worried about her health, arranged a husband for her. The man she chose was Qin Yan, a wolf with ambition in his heart. Poor Qin Yan: brilliant and gifted, yet confined to the Grand Princess's residence for three years.

Three years later, a great fire reduced the Grand Princess's residence to ashes. No one knew that as the flames suddenly surged, Jiang Yu had knelt and begged him to take her outside, only for him to cruelly knock away her pale, feeble hand.

Reborn, she forgot everything from her past life and was once again the proud, confident Princess Zhaohua.

This time, as she watched the handsome young men coming to seek refuge at her residence, she suddenly realized that she really did not want to get married.

Why did this gentleman look so loathsome?

In his previous life, Qin Yan wanted to accomplish great things. Following his advisers' counsel, he agreed to marry into the Grand Princess's household.

For three years, countless eyes watched him in the Grand Princess's residence. Even though he and the princess were in love, one wrong glance was enough for her to be taken away from him.

He endured it all in silence. When he returned after accomplishing his great ambitions, he planned to marry the princess again. But a sudden fire at the princess's residence burned everything he had to the ground.

He had only been away for a short while. How could she be gone?

He had won, but as he sat on the imperial throne, he could no longer find the girl who blushed while reading romance stories.

He could no longer find the girl who shamelessly refused to take her medicinal meals and asked him to hide pastries for her.

Qin Yan propped himself up. After clearing his parents' names, he set a great fire and walked into it himself.

He wanted to know how much it had hurt her.

Scene from the previous life:

A while ago, Jiang Yu had caught a chill, and the imperial physician prescribed her more medicinal meals. Her mouth was bitter, so for the first time, the young girl boldly sat beside Qin Yan and gave him a look.

Qin Yan nodded solemnly, his heart turning to mush. He steeled himself, sent everyone out, then carefully pulled a paper parcel from inside his robe. It held freshly baked osmanthus cakes.

A piece of paper fell from the parcel too, covered in graceful handwriting listing the names of the pastries...

This is a story about a calculating hero who wins himself over and is determined to win back his wife.

This is a story about a bold but frail heroine who's determined to escape from him.

P.S. The hero did not refuse to save her. It was a conspiracy!
