Xiziqing

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

The Grand Princess Sheng An had lived for a lifetime, so she had already anticipated Su Rong's refusal. If Su Rong was such a soft-hearted person, she wouldn't have stood her ground so firmly on the day of rescinding her marriage, when Zhou Gu adamantly disagreed.


She was decisive, neither vague nor indecisive. 


Last night, when Zhou Gu had a fever, she sent for Su Rong without hesitation. Just as soon as Zhou Gu woke up, she did not linger and bid him farewell. 


Su Rong's character was perhaps what Xie Yuan intentionally nurtured in a future heir to the Nanchu Royal Family! 


Such a woman, if she were to become queen in Nanchu, would certainly be capable of holding up the entire Nanchu Dynasty. Only those not swayed by sentimental affections can be suitable heirs to the throne. Otherwise, they would be mental fickle, easily manipulated by others, not only harming others but also bringing harm upon themselves. They would be unfit for ruling over the kingdom.
