Recently, the news that Second Lady Gu sought to marry Princess Roujia spread like wildfire throughout the capital.
Everyone said that Second Lady Gu must be insane. How could a woman possibly marry another woman? What was more, the person she wished to marry was none other than Princess Roujia, the Emperor’s most beloved daughter.
No one could dissuade Second Lady Gu. In the end, Princess Roujia herself raised a sword and personally cut off Second Lady Gu’s hair, severing her hopes. Only then did this farce finally come to an end.
After that day, Second Lady Gu vanished completely from the capital.
Who would have thought that two years later she would return, honored with the extraordinary title of General. Only then did people realize that her disappearance had been spent at the frontier, fighting on the battlefield.
Many believed that Second Lady Gu’s hard work and rise in rank was meant to avenge the humiliation of having her hair cut off. But when the Emperor sought to reward her, she refused titles, refused gold, and refused treasures. All she wanted was to marry the princess, to become Princess Roujia’s consort.
No one knew how many nights Gu Qing could only fall asleep while holding the safety amulet she had begged for, bowing with her forehead to the ground step by step before that young girl.
No one knew how many times, when her life hung by a thread, it was the image of that young girl with red eyes, holding back her tears as she cut off Gu Qing’s hair, that pulled her back from the gates of death.
The main story begins from the moment, two years later, when Gu Qing returns to the capital.
At its heart, the relationship is mutual, but Gu Qing leans toward the dominant role, while Princess Roujia is slightly more receptive.
Note on the Title: “Shang Princess” means to marry the princess and take her as one’s wife.
