Jiang Chuyue had loved Regent Xiao Ji for ten years, but she was forced to marry into the Regent's Palace due to her family's predicament. Before the wedding, Xiao Ji coldly left the promise of "no consummation", and Jiang Chuyue, heartbroken, prepared to live as a widow. Unexpectedly, on their wedding night, Xiao Ji climbed through the window, held her in his arms with red eyes, and said: "I've endured for ten years; I can't pretend anymore." It turned out that Xiao Ji had long known her feelings—his previous coldness was just fear of endangering her. From then on, between handling state affairs, the Regent always thought about how to dote on his little lady: blowing cool tea for her, holding her waist when going out, and even wanting to take her to see the peonies in the imperial garden during morning court. When Jiang Chuyue finally dared to ask, "When did you start liking me?", Xiao Ji lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "The first time I saw you, when you stuffed osmanthus cake into my hand and said, 'My lord, are you hungry?', I thought, this girl—I want to protect her for life."
