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!"

The tender signs of spring on the delicate Hibiscus pillow, amidst the drunken flowers filling the room, unnoticed. — Su Rong.

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.

Half an hour before mealtime, Su Xingze had the scholars from Jiangzhou entertain themselves while he ventured into the kitchen. After rolling up his sleeves, he attracted the attention of everyone in the kitchen.


The kitchen maids delegated from the Princess Residence were stunned and cautiously inquired, "Young Master Su, what dish are you planning to make? Just leave it to us."


Su Xingze shook his head. "I'll do it myself."

The instructed maid gave a bemused nod.
