The Phoenix Once Roamed

In my youth, to save the crown prince, I became a demented princess, only knowing to follow him every day.

I once lost control of my bladder in public, causing him great shame.

The crown prince never showed disdain for me in public, but in private, he gripped my wrist, full of anger.

One day at a palace banquet, the emperor wanted to bestow a marriage upon me and asked which young man I fancied.

The crown prince’s jaw tightened.

Everyone thought I would ask to marry him.

Who knew I would bypass the crown prince, pointing to the Lord of Changguang in purple clothes, “I want to marry him.”

Ah-Man, though demented, has but one heartfelt desire.
