Ji Muwan is the child who went missing from the Princess Royal's household fifteen years ago.
Once she is finally found, she transforms into a princess overnight.
But when she returns to the Princess Royal's estate, full of joy, she discovers that someone else has occupied her place for years.
Everyone favors her.
Her mother says, "Qing'an is the perfect example of a distinguished young lady of the capital, while you can't even manage a proper greeting."
Her father says, "Qing'an has been frail since childhood. Wanwan, you should give way to her."
Her brothers say, "We've watched Qing'an grow up. How could she possibly frame you?"
Ji Muwan comforts herself: It's all right. She still has the fiancé she was promised to as a baby.
She likes him very much.
But one day, even her fiancé says, "You shouldn't treat Qing'an like this. I'm very disappointed in you."
Ji Muwan finally understands. The capital is not her home.
So she packs her bags, leaves a letter breaking off the engagement along with evidence that Song Qing'an framed her, and walks away from the capital without looking back.
Who could have guessed that the moment she left, the people of the capital would come chasing after her?
Her mother: "I was wrong!"
Her father: "Come back, Wanwan."
Her brothers: "You're our only sister."
Her fiancé: "My name exists only in the hope that you'll come back."

Ji Muwan loves the evening breeze, warm against her face as it carries the glow of the setting sun.
After coming to the capital, she kept up the habit of going out to feel the evening breeze.
But the capital's wind always carried fine grains of sand. It scratched not only her face, but her heart too.
Only then did she understand that the capital was not her home, and that she had been forcing everything all along.
Her home was where her master, her senior brothers, and Zhaofu were.
"I'm so tired."
"I want to go home."
