Wen Ruochu, the legitimate fourth princess of Tianhuang Kingdom, was said to possess breathtaking beauty—ethereal and enchanting, with mastery in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was the kind of soft, charming beauty rarely seen in this world.
What no one knew was that since childhood, her elder brother had hung a portrait in her room, telling her that the man in the painting was her future husband.
One day, after being harmed and losing most of her memories, she finally met the man from the painting. He was even more handsome and noble than depicted. As a lover of beauty, she naturally followed him around with adoring eyes.
“Darling, hold me~”
“…”
The Crown Prince of Yuanqi, by nature aloof and reserved, was like the bright moon hanging high above. Since his coming-of-age ceremony, he had been haunted by a recurring dream—of a woman who, just before their marriage, wed another man.
For three years he searched for her, but she vanished without a trace. Just when he was about to give up, he met her again at a shallow riverbank—soft, sweet, and throwing herself into his arms, calling him “husband.”
Side Story One:
During the annual Flower Festival, noble ladies of the capital fought tooth and nail for the position of Crown Princess.
Yet, to everyone’s shock, the elegant Crown Prince brought back a mysterious woman from among the commoners and kept her in his residence. No one could uncover her background.
People laughed that the once-unreachable prince had fallen from grace for the sake of beauty—until his wedding day, when Tianhuang’s new monarch sent an endless procession of treasures and gold, along with a treaty of a hundred years of tax-free trade between the two nations.
The crowd who had waited to see a joke fell silent.
This was no wild rose from the roadside—she was the most noble, precious flower among the four kingdoms!
