While they were passionately in love, the hostage prince said, "The person I love is a merchant, but he's different from the others. He's a benevolent, kindhearted businessman, pure of heart and generous to those in need."
During their cold war, Boss Yun said, "Prince Jin, you must be seeing things. This bun costs fifty taels. Can't pay? Someone, strip off his clothes!"
Prince Jin: …
On the eve of their wedding, Prince Jin was filled with regret. "I think I may have misjudged him back then..."
Boss Yun blocked the door, sharpening his knife. "I've already sent out the wedding invitations. You can't just say you misjudged me and call off the wedding! Trying to run? Not a chance!"
Before the wedding, Prince Jin sincerely confessed, "The first time I saw you, you were standing beneath a red plum tree, like an immortal. I fell for you then, and I could never forget you..."
After the wedding, Boss Yun casually remarked, "That time, I spent a fortune bribing a palace servant to find out where you were going. I arranged to 'bump into you' along your route, and even uprooted a bunch of plum trees from the middle of the grove so you'd spot me at a glance. But you big idiot didn't notice me for ages. I nearly froze to death!"
Prince Jin: …
The hostage prince's endless journey of schemes.
