After she was found and brought back, the Emperor and Empress doted on her immensely, spoiling her into a willful and temperamental young lady.
Everyone in the capital knew: Princess Heyang was not only the most beautiful woman under heaven, but also had the worst temper. And yet, this very woman was engaged to the all-powerful Prime Minister, Shen Hezhi.

Shen Hezhi was cold and distant, proud and unyielding. He would rather defy a royal decree than marry the princess.
Qin Xiangxu wasn’t surprised by that at all.
What did surprise her was—That snowy year, she ran into Shen Hezhi at the gates of her residence. He was holding a small child, snow piling on his shoulders, his figure desolate.
Qin Xiangxu sneered coldly,
“If the Prime Minister doesn’t wish to honor the engagement, then don’t act so pitiful.”
She turned to leave, but a hand—red from the cold—stubbornly tugged at her sleeve.
The once aloof and proud man lowered his eyes and gently said:
“My daughter and I have no one to rely on... I wish to ask the Princess for a bit of kindness.”
“…Is that not allowed?”
Qin Xiangxu stared at that face, pale as snow and sculpted like jade.
Tch. Maybe… it wasn’t entirely impossible.

After the death of his beloved wife, Shen Hezhi changed completely.
He seized power, dealt ruthlessly with enemies, and wiped out the bandits who had destroyed his family. But just then, the Emperor suddenly issued an imperial edict for marriage. Naturally, he refused.
On his way out of the palace after rejecting the decree, a woman of stunning beauty and elegance brushed past him.
Shen Hezhi knew her very well.
Because she was his late wife—Yangyang.
