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?

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.

Duanhua spent another day playing in the East Fourth Hutong. When it was getting late and she estimated that her father should be finishing work, she headed back to the residence.


On the way home, the horse pulling the carriage suddenly collapsed, causing the carriage to tilt forward. Duanhua was nearly thrown out, but luckily, two maids on each side held her back. All the maids accompanying her were trained in martial arts, which helped to avoid any accident.


Still shaken, Duanhua was helped up and asked, "What happened?"


A maid, despite her scraped arm, lifted the curtain and asked loudly, "What happened?"


The coachman, pale with fright, had been thrown from his seat when the horse collapsed. He picked himself up, holding his head, and quickly replied, "My lady, the horse's foot seems to have sprained and it cannot stand up."


The guard immediately approached and asked anxiously, "Has the lady been injured?"
