[Collecting Men, Dog-Blood Drama, Rekindled Romance, Possessive Pursuit]
Before she turned seventeen, Cui Jiuniang was the daughter of a country doctor, and her family could barely make ends meet.
At seventeen, she was unexpectedly discovered to be the only daughter of the late General Who Guards the Nation and the emperor's adopted daughter, Princess Jinyang, Cui Wanyu.
She moved into a palace of gold and splendor, and gained fine clothes, delicious food, and luxurious carriages.
She thought her happy life was finally about to begin.
Then she met the crown prince: handsome brows and eyes, a straight nose, thin lips.
Why did he look so much like the young man she'd once taken advantage of and abandoned?
No, he wasn't just similar. It was him.
Back then, she had found him badly wounded on a mountain. Seeing that his clothes were fine, she brought him home, hoping for a handsome reward.
But he'd lost his memory.
So she had no choice but to wait patiently for him to remember.
Spending every day together, it was only natural that the young man and woman would fall for each other.
But later, for the sake of a silver ingot, she ruthlessly abandoned him.
She still remembered that day. The young man's eyes were red with tears as he gritted his teeth and said, "So to you, I'm nothing but an object you can throw away whenever you like."
Cui Wanyu had no doubt that the crown prince would take his revenge on her.
To keep him from recognizing her, she deliberately injured her face and covered it with a veil every day.
To be even safer, she planned to leave for her fief after getting married and never return to the capital.
But on the night before her wedding, the crown prince suddenly barged into her room with a sword in hand, his handsome face shrouded in fury.
"Long time no see," he said with a cold, gritted-teeth smile. "I hope you've been well."
Princess Jinyang disappeared on the eve of her wedding. At the same time, a beauty appeared in the Eastern Palace.
