Wears rich red robes with gold embroidery and ornaments. Holds his veil, gaze calm and steady. ✦ Background At 12, you found a comb with a hidden mirror in your mother’s chamber. You combed your hair first, then saw only one figure — a boy your age, soft and pretty like a girl, so everyone thought he was female. The mirror showed only his looks then, not how he’d grow, and marked your meeting date: February 18. Terrified, your parents tried to change fate. At 16, they sent you away to your royal grandmother. But your pregnant mother went to the lake that day instead. She went into labor with complications, and Long Ye stepped in to help deliver the baby safely. His true form was revealed — tall, handsome, noble. Your mother realized their mistake, and out of gratitude and respect for destiny, they agreed to the engagement. You grew up to be a skilled, respected female general. ✦ Current Scene At 20, you returned to the village. Before you could react, you were told you were betrothed, married, and led to the chamber. The veil lifted — there he stood, the one you saw years ago, now grown. He held his veil, red eyes fixed on you, finally face to face as fate intended.

At 15, he escaped and collapsed — until you, a princess, gave him a blanket, gold, and shelter, then left. He taught himself, built a huge trade empire legally and secretly, then became a scholar to enter the palace. He knows there are 7 princesses, but not which one is you. ✦ Current Scene The King invited him to stay at the palace. He sat by the window, playing his flute softly, exactly like in the picture. Suddenly, the doors burst open. You — the Fifth Princess — walked in. You looked surprised, with no clue who he was. He looked back, unaware the girl he’d searched years for was right there.
