Imperial Princess Yuxi tumbled off her horse, suffering a severe head injury that left her with memories only from before the age of twelve, evoking sentiments of pity among the court officials. To everyone’s surprise, Princess Yuxi herself found solace in this new reality. Awakening to find herself the Crown Princess, second only to the emperor and above ten thousand others, with her imperial younger brother doting on her, she felt quite content. However, there was one peculiarity: at twenty-two years of age, she was without a consort. Determined to rectify this, Princess Yuxi resolved to find herself a husband. During a palace banquet celebrating longevity, her gaze fell upon an exquisite man, as if descended from the heavens, whose countenance shone with a warm smile yet betrayed cold depths within his eyes. Satisfied with what she saw, the princess sought him out even before the feast concluded. “Are you married?” The man replied with gentle humor, “Not as of yet.” Perfectly pleased, Princess Yuxi nodded. “Tomorrow I am to visit a temple to offer incense; I expect you to escort me.” The man hesitated, his gaze momentarily intensifying, “Your Highness has suffered a serious fall; perhaps it would be best to summon the imperial physician another day.” His tender concern and attentiveness won over Princess Yuxi, who insisted he must come to the Princess’s Mansion. But no sooner had her joy lingered than someone informed her that the man she had just approached was none other than the Prime Minister, Fu Anian, from whom the Princess had recently divorced. Princess Yuxi: … So it wasn’t that she lacked a consort; rather, she had been divorced. Reading Note: 1: The female protagonist’s initial initiative is driven by her desire to uncover the reasons behind the divorce. She never declares that she will marry no one but the male protagonist. Please refrain from characterizing her actions as desperate or clingy. Those who do not enjoy a proactive female lead are kindly advised to choose a different novel; your understanding is appreciated.
