Jiang Yingnuan has always been seen as a heartless woman, seemingly passionate but actually indifferent. She has always managed to keep her distance from entanglements and avoid any trouble. That is, until an unexpected incident tied her to her prospective spouse's younger uncle, causing her life to spiral out of control. As the man closed in on her relentlessly, she had no choice but to surrender and plead, "Uncle, I truly know I was wrong. Please spare me!" In a composed manner, the man raised her chin with a smile that wasn't quite a smile and said, "Don't call me uncle. You're not old enough to be my niece." Staring at her intently, he continued, "You dare to take advantage of me, and even after doing so, you still want to leave just like that... Jiang Yingnuan, you really have guts, don't you?" Regret overwhelmed Jiang Yingnuan, but she still desperately struggled and said, "It's all just a misunderstanding... I can explain!" He replied, "There's no need for explanations. Why not be more practical and let me take back what I lost?"

Where are you running, my lord?

It is said that Princess Shulan, who lost her mother at a young age, was spoiled and unruly by the emperor. Even when she wanted to climb onto the roof of the imperial study, the emperor would just extend his hand from below and jokingly say, "Oh my, my little darling! Be careful not to fall!" Then he would sternly tell the guards behind him, "What are you all doing here?! Hurry up and go help the princess! If she gets tired, I want you to pay the price!" Consequently, when the newly appointed top scholar, Qin Jiao, heard that he was chosen by the emperor to be Princess Shulan's husband, he quickly packed his belongings and disappeared without a trace. When the spoiled princess heard that her husband ran away, she swiftly took down the three-foot sharp sword hanging on the wall, flicked its blade with her hand, and smiled with a sinister look on her face. "Qin, I'll see just where you can run!" Watching the figure of Shulan chasing after her husband, the old emperor leaned against the high city gate and sighed deeply, "Daughter, I'm sorry."
