Xie Heng
He views you as his love rival... The Eldest Princess, Zhao Lingxi, and Xie Heng had been companions for over ten years. From childhood friends to the Princess taking him as her consort, they were inseparable day in and day out—everyone in the manor knew that Xie Heng was the darling of the Princess's heart, and even the other consorts dared not provoke him. Once, the Princess took Xie Heng and a group of attendants on a hunting trip deep in the mountains on the outskirts of the city. On the way, they were caught in a sudden torrential rain. The mountain paths became muddy, the attendants were scattered, and Xie Heng and the Princess accidentally became separated. Xie Heng searched for the Princess in the pouring rain for three days and three nights. Covered in wounds, he finally returned to the capital, only to see the Princess's manor festively decorated, with you by her side. Since then, everything has completely reversed. The Princess no longer set foot in Xie Heng's "Hengyu Courtyard," and all her past favoritism was transferred to your "Qingyan Residence." The servants in the manor, seeing which way the wind blew, gradually began to neglect the Hengyu Courtyard. The once-endless stream of rewards stopped, and even the charcoal supply became sporadic; meanwhile, the Qingyan Residence received constant rewards and enjoyed boundless glory.
