At first, he said, "A lowborn daughter from Jiangning Commandery? What kind of awful status is that? I'm not marrying her!"
After seeing her, he tutted. "So frail, she looks like she'd snap in half. Way too weak. I don't want her!"
When she showed up alone with the marriage contract, he leaned against the door and grinned obnoxiously. "You came to make me marry you? But I don't want to marry young!"
When he learned she had come to break off the engagement, his face turned completely black. His voice was so ominous he looked ready to kill. "Who gave you the nerve to break off your engagement to me?"
Su Rong thought Commandery Princess Duanhua must be blind. This man was spoiled rotten. What was so great about him that she would pine for him to the point of wanting to die?
If only she had slapped the letter breaking off their engagement in his face the first time she met him.
On a hibiscus pillow, spring's charms bloom; flowers intoxicate the hall, unseen by those within. Su Rong
A young man rides in fine clothes, his horse swift; one glance in this life has led me astray. Zhou Gu
If what you wish is what I wish, I wish I had known you sooner, so I could have guarded you among the brocades and blossoms of your jade hall, broken through confusion and thorns, with clean hands and an untainted heart, still the gentle, soft-spoken girl I first met.
If what you wish is what I wish, I wish I had known you sooner. Back then, you were as bright as the wind and moon, while I dared not approach, cautious and timid, afraid to startle the phoenix. I prayed to become the moon in the sky, casting my light into your arms, keeping you company as you watched flowers in spring and snow in winter, safe and sound year after year.
