Shen Luoyang was born with every blessing the world had to offer. With her charming almond eyes and peach-blossom cheeks, she was breathtakingly beautiful, and every frown and smile brimmed with allure.
With looks like hers, an ordinary family could never have protected her. Fortunately, her father was the chancellor and her aunt was the empress.
With a family and looks like hers, she naturally deserved the finest man in the world.
The Crown Prince, Jun Yi, was as handsome as a jade sculpture and unmatched in talent and looks. Shen Luoyang felt he was the only man worthy of her.
But the Crown Prince wasn't interested in her. For years, she had been the one chasing after him.
Just as her father was about to enter the palace and ask the emperor to grant them a marriage, Shen Luoyang had a dream.
In the dream, she married her cousin, the Crown Prince, only to discover that he loved someone else. He despised her arrogance and spoiled nature, saying she was nothing like the generous, proper, gentle, and kind woman he loved. In the end, she died of illness in the Cold Palace.
Shen Luoyang had grown up in luxury and couldn't bear the slightest hardship. Terrified at the thought of living in the Cold Palace someday, she hurriedly set her sights elsewhere.
Once she broadened her horizons, she realized just how wonderful the world could be.
The young general from the Duke of Zhenguo's household blushed whenever he saw her. The young master of the Marquis of Anyang's household was handsome and elegant, and then there was the dashing top scholar with broad shoulders and a narrow waist...
But after she stopped bothering her cousin, the Crown Prince, and left him and the woman he loved in peace, why did his expression grow darker by the day?
Just as she and her father were poring over A Guide to Eligible Bachelors in the Capital, picking and choosing, the usually calm and composed Crown Prince pinned her against a wall and ground out, "Shen Luoyang, can't you see something through to the end? How can you give up halfway? You can't flirt with me and then run off!"
P.S. The Crown Prince is the son of the emperor and Consort Hui. The female lead and her cousin are not related by blood.
