The servant's eyes met the sorrowful gaze of the princess. "Your Highness, the Regent Prince has sent your scholar fiancé to marry the daughter of the Western Butcher." With a clenched jaw, the princess dismissed her servant's words, stating that she had other suitors waiting in line. But as days passed, her hopes were shattered when the servant came running in a panic. "Your Highness, the Regent Prince has declared his desire to court you. And all the other men in line have been sold off to the infamous Gou Lan Red District." Distressed and overwhelmed, the princess told her servant not to worry, as she would soon be married to Prince Fuma. But fate had other plans. Once again, the servant rushed to her with news, nearly tripping in the process. "Your Highness, Prince Fuma has been imprisoned at home. And there is a red sedan chair waiting at your residence for your marriage, led by none other than the Regent Prince himself." The princess was left speechless. It seemed impossible for such a day to come, but here it was, unfolding before her very eyes. This was nothing but a tragic tale of a powerful woman who had traveled back in time, only to find herself caught in a web of political schemes and power struggles. And while she had intended to use her influence to elevate the status of her beloved, she ended up being consumed by the very system she sought to conquer.
