In the beginning, he said, "A lowly commoner from Jiangning County? What a disgraceful status, I won't marry her!"
After meeting her, he clicked his tongue, "So frail and delicate, she can't stand a blow, too weak, I refuse!"
When she approached him alone, carrying the marriage book, he stood leaning on the door, grinning insolently, "Are you here to make me marry you? But this young master doesn’t want to marry young!"
Upon learning she was there to annul their marriage, his face turned dark as a thunderstorm, emanating a murderous aura, "Who gave you the guts to revoke the marriage with this young master?"
...
Su Rong felt, Duanhua Princess must be blind, this man was so pampered and spoiled, how was he worth dying or living for?
If she had known earlier, she would have thrown the divorce letter at his face the first time she saw him.

The tender signs of spring on the delicate Hibiscus pillow, amidst the drunken flowers filling the room, unnoticed. — Su Rong.
A gallant young man in fine clothes and on a steed, a single glance causes a lifetime of confusion. — Zhou Gu
Your wish is my wish. I wish to have known you earlier, protect you among the aromatic chambers strewn with brocades. Tear through the illusions, cut down the thorns, with hands unstained by blood, just as pure as you were when we first met, the young and soft little girl.
Your wish is my wish. I wish I had known you sooner when you were like a refreshing breeze near the moon. I dared not approach for fear of disturbing the phoenix and mandarin ducks. Praying to be the moon in the sky to cast a reflection on you, accompany you while you watch the flowers bloom in the spring and gaze at the snow in winter, each and every year at Chang'an.

Flowers Drunk Fill the Hall

She looked at Zhou Gu, letting out a deep sigh, "Gu'er, I just asked you, but you didn't answer. Now I ask you again, you insist on seeking an answer, what is your purpose?"


She reminded him heavily, "You've already broken off the engagement with Su Rong! She's not yours anymore, you can't interfere with her affairs, and she doesn't need your involvement. If it weren't for the persistent advice from your grandfather, she would probably want to sever ties with the Duke Residence cleanly, releasing all connections. Do you understand?"


Zhou Gu lowered his head and said softly, "I understand."


That day Su Rong came to break off the engagement, she was resolute and decisive, not leaving a single string attached. The piercing words she said still echo in his mind.


He raised his head, looking at Princess Sheng An, his eyes reddening, "Grandmother, if you insist on asking my purpose, then I will tell you, I can't accept it."
