In the third year of the Fengxian era, Emperor Wei decreed that his thirteenth daughter, Princess Yu, would be married off to the Li Kingdom to make peace. At the border where two armies had once clashed, the enmity between the nations was to be transformed into harmony, with a pact that for three years, neither side would invade the others territory, under penalty of war.
"King Zan... weve been marching for three days... youre not tired, Im not tired, but the soldiers are exhausted... how about we... take a break?"
Princess Yu Jin lifted the curtain of her carriage to behold the breathtaking profile of her betrothed, King Zan, the famed war god of the Li Kingdom.
"Princess, we are not tired," came the unanimous response from the soldiers behind him, before King Zan could even speak.
Heavens above, were these people made of iron? After three days of travel, she felt like her bones would crumble in the carriage, yet they remained spirited.
"Make camp here," King Zan commanded, raising his hand to shoulder level and then dropping it. An officer shouted, and the carriages came to a halt amidst the swirling dust.
The landscape was shrouded in a golden hue, the buildings covered in a layer of yellow sand. The moonlight provided a faint glow, but it could not conceal the desolation and desert of the place.
Pingfeng Road
King Zan, whose name was Zan Chuanglie, was the only surviving brother of the Emperor of the Li Kingdom and the most beloved and relied upon by its people.
"Why do you always wear a mask, King Zan?" Princess Yu Jin approached Zan Chuanglie with a playful smile, gazing at the man before her.
Even with the mask, she could tell from his eyes and the side of his face that this man was undeniably handsome.
"Princess, please rest in the tent," King Zan rose and strode, pointing to a nearby tent.
"Fine, be that way..." Princess Yu Jin rolled her eyes at him. They had been traveling for half a month, spending at least ten days in each others company, yet he had never spoken a word to her.
She knew this man resented her.
A princess from the Wei Kingdom who had eloped and failed, now turned into a peace-offering princess married to the second most powerful man in the Li Kingdom, King Zan. The people felt it was an injustice to Zan Chuanglie, and he himself?
Indeed, when she had, it was at the very moment when the original owner of this body had failed to elope and attempted suicide by throwing herself into the river. By some stroke of fate, her wandering spirit had taken over, becoming the Princess Yu who had cheated death.
At midnight, Princess Yu Jin found a piece of cloth and packed all the gold and silver from her dowry chest, filling a bag which she then struggled to carry on her back.
"I cant beat them, but I can avoid them. A wise man knows when to retreat. King Zan, we part ways here. Im off!"
Princess Yu Jin leaped out of the tent, waved in the direction of Zan Chuanglies tent, and then ran towards the unguarded direction.
"Your Highness, its bad, Princess Yu is missing!"
In no time, it was discovered that Princess Yu Jin had vanished, and the news was immediately reported to Zan Chuanglie, who looked grave as he awaited orders.
"Clank"
"Search every inch, bring her to me."
His wine bowl was slammed down on the rough wooden table, creating a loud noise. In the midst of the march, no one dared to make a sound, only hearing Zan Chuanglies deep voice giving orders. Through the mask, his eyes showed a rising murderous intent.
"Little girl, little second..."
Princess Yu Jin hummed a tune, bouncing in the opposite direction of the march.
She thought that one going south and one going north should not cross paths.
A dark figure flashed through the sky, and a robust form stood before her in the night. In the dim light, Princess Yu Jin could not make out his face.
"Hero, spare me, Ive never done anything wrong in my life. When I was a child, I would turn in any lost change to the police. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old brother. Please spare me, if you want money, I will give it to you with both hands!"
Princess Yu Jin, thinking it was a robbery, almost knelt down in fear, pleading loudly with the person in front of her.
Zan Chuanglies face stiffened at the plea, an eighty-year-old mother... a three-year-old brother?
Hearing such a plea, his lips couldnt help but freeze.
"Princess, the road at night on Pingfeng Road is treacherous, come back with me."
After a while, Zan Chuanglie pulled back his thoughts and calmly said to Princess Yu Jin.
He was not asking for her consent, but informing her.
"King Zan?"
Princess Yu Jin was taken aback, immediately straightened up, took a few steps forward, and lit a fire to see the man in front of her wearing a silver mask. She let out a sigh of relief, smoothed her chest, and said: "Since its King Zan, Im not worried. Your Highness, I can see you dont want to marry me, and I also dont want to marry you. Just pretend you didnt find me, go back and say that I, the princess, died on Pingfeng Road. We part ways here, and never cross paths again!"
Princess Yu Jin imitated the ancients on TV, clasping her hands together, and as she spoke, she turned to run.
This was the time to run.
Princess Yu Jin had only taken a few steps, not yet out of Zan Chuanglies sight, when she felt her collar tighten, and her feet left the ground.
Zan Chuanglie lifted Princess Yu Jin as if she were a little chick, his gloomy gaze devoid of any warmth, yet he still said, "Princess, come back with me."
Then, regardless of Princess Yu Jins loud protests, Zan Chuanglie never let her go. Knowing her history of escape, he not only moved his quarters into Princess Yu Jins tent but also stationed layers upon layers of elite soldiers outside the large tent.
"King Zan..."
Princess Yu Jin called out, pouting and looking pitiful, a sight that would surely make anyone feel compassion for her.
"..."
Zan Chuanglie turned over as if he hadnt heard her.
Princess Yu Jin shrugged, you can talk, but I dont want to talk to you either!
With that, Princess Yu Jin leaned back in her chair and dozed off. Although the environment on Pingfeng Road was harsh, she had to admit... she was exhausted.
Zan Chuanglie frowned, surprised that Princess Yu Jin, who usually talked non-stop even on the road, had fallen asleep.
He looked back to see her sitting in the chair, but her posture was far from elegant...
Was this really a princess?
The next morning, as soon as Princess Yu Jin opened her eyes and moved, she felt something was off with her surroundings. Wasnt she in a chair? Why was she in a bed?
"Wow!"
She felt an arm draped over her, and she was held in the embrace of the person behind her. The warmth made Princess Yu Jin break out in a cold sweat, and when she turned to see the persons face, she almost jumped out of the bed.
"Princess, Im not awake yet."
Zan Chuanglie frowned, glaring at Princess Yu Jin in discontent, pressing
