He was originally a useless prince, but he was ambitious and boasted of being extraordinary. He quietly entered the military camp and went north to fight, hoping to achieve great things. Unexpectedly, the reality is extremely cruel. The city is destroyed, his comrades are dead, and he is also dying. He drifted downstream with the river and was fortunately rescued by a woman. He concealed his identity and vowed to make his own way.
She is a ship trader for generations. Although she is young, she is experienced and capable and manages her family's business in an orderly manner. Unexpectedly, she arouses the jealousy of others, and besides running the business, she also needs to fight with wits and courage. She rescued him once when he was out on a boat, thinking that he was an orphan, so she taught him how to sail and do business. The two traveled to many places hand in hand, and their love gradually grew. In her ignorance, she thought that this was how love should be, and marriage was a matter of course.
However, when it was time to get engaged, he actually left without saying goodbye...
Purpose: Through the story of the good-for-nothing prince and the water transport girl, the novel shows the personal growth and choices in the ups and downs of fate, as well as the complexity and tenacity of love under the test of reality. On the one hand, the prince's transformation from being pretentious to re-recognizing himself after experiencing setbacks is a reflection and reshaping of one's self-worth in a difficult situation. Although the shipping girl is young, she is able to take charge of her own role, fighting wits and courage in a complex business environment, showing the strength and wisdom of women. On the other hand, the feelings that arise between the two as they get along and the changes that occur when they get engaged are even more conflicts between love, responsibility, and ideals. In addition to small love, there is also character growth and family and country justice.
