Shen Yuehua loved Crown Prince Xiao Yuchen for ten years. To be worthy of his station, she reined in her bold, radiant nature until virtue and propriety seemed carved into her very bones.
Yet all she got in return was a cold rebuke from the elegant and dignified Xiao Yuchen: "You're unruly and impossible to deal with. What about you says you have the bearing of a future crown princess?"
When the Shen family fell into trouble, he did not soften for even a moment.
Shen Yuehua came to terms with it and let him go for good.
Then Xiao Yuchen watched as the young woman who had chased after him since childhood seemed to become someone else.
She had abandoned all her old interests, and he no longer recognized her at all.
At first, Xiao Yuchen said, "My heart holds nothing but boundless power and an endless realm. I have no interest in women."
Later, the crown prince, who everyone said plotted with care and held only the people of the realm in his heart, shed his pride and begged her with red-rimmed eyes: "Qingqing, look at me just once more."
And later still, Xiao Yuchen said, "You can have my realm and do whatever you want. Just don't leave me."
