I am the only son of the richest man in Runzhou. My father is the emperor's savior. He supports most of the national treasury with salt. Even the court officials have to show respect when they see me. Three years ago, I rescued the dying Princess Jiang Qingxue of Yanzhou from a mass grave. She begged me to save her with my life, and I agreed. I spent all the resources of the Lu family to help her reborn, making her the young master of the Lu family who was envied by the people of Runzhou. But once the civil strife in Yanzhou was over, she turned around and forgot about her promise. While I was romantically involved with Xiao Yan, the demoted young prince, I despised the son of a lowly businessman for not being worthy of her status as a princess. What's even more ridiculous is that she actually wanted to marry Xiao Yan as his consort on the grounds that she was pregnant with Xiao Yan's child, and she also wanted to demote me to a lesser person! Little did she know that the new emperor of Yanzhou was the prince who killed her mother and concubine. Her dream of being a princess was in vain, and the century-old foundation of my Lu family was never something she could steal away.
