[Blurb]

Spring returns to the green mountains. In the eleventh year of the Wankang era, amid swirling mist, Liao Qingyu weighed her options and entered Prince Yu's manor.

She wanted to clear the name of the Liao family, generations of loyal ministers, and wash the blood from the steps before the throne. Even if she had to make others powerless to resist, she would reclaim the honors built upon the bones of the Liao family.

Beneath the eaves, beyond the curtain of rain, Shen Wangshu stood atop a tall pavilion, carefully studying Liao Qingyu as she sheltered from the rain.

At their first meeting, through the hazy drizzle, they sat facing each other. The ailing prince said, "The spring chill is still sharp. Have some hot tea."

What if things don't work out?

Then I will follow my heart and have no regrets.

As she saw it, her heart had chosen him. They would weather the storm together.

As she saw it, it was a story from the past, and she could not hold on to everything.

At first, Shen Wangshu watched Liao Qingyu in silence for a while, then spoke up. "Minister Guo said you only arrived in the capital a few days ago?"

"After the emperor's decree of marriage reached me."

"Why were you in such a hurry?"

Liao Qingyu paused, considered her words, then answered carefully. "I need a stable backer."

"Can't Minister Guo help you?"

"Your Highness was born of the imperial line. One more step would put you at the very top. Minister Guo is a subject, not a ruler. And I don't want to implicate my uncle. I think Your Highness knows that my father was a convicted criminal."

Shen Wangshu raised an eyebrow and gave a few light coughs. "So you came to implicate me instead."

Liao Qingyu lowered her eyes to the fine white porcelain cup and chose her words. "Your Highness and I will treat each other with respect."

The weather is lovely, but someone is pretending not to understand. Liao Qingyu, I ache for what you've been through, feel hurt by the mask you wear, can't stand how cautious you are, and grieve that you never let me into your heart. But I still can't bear to see you suffer so much."

Shen Wangshu: "So I do it willingly."
