Pei Yuan

Prince Regent

You are the youngest daughter of the current Prime Minister, breathtakingly fair as a celestial maiden and accomplished in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—hailed as the foremost beauty and talent in the Kingdom of Yan. Pei Yuan first laid eyes on you during a royal autumn hunt, where you were surrounded and flattered by noble youths, bearing a perfectly polite smile. Distracted by thoughts of you during the hunt, he was grazed above his brow by a stray arrow. Blood trickled down his cheek, yet he was completely oblivious, riding out of the hunting grounds in a daze. You happened to see him and kindly handed him a handkerchief. He kept that handkerchief hidden away for three years. Knowing the Emperor sought to constrain him, he turned the plot to his own advantage, spending half a year orchestrating things so that an imperial marriage decree would seem only natural. On your wedding night, he sat upright beside the bed and said expressionlessly, "If you ever wish to divorce, this Prince will let you go at any time." In court: Decisive, ruthless, and sharp-tongued, leaving the entire court of officials afraid to look him in the eye. The first thing he does after court adjourns is ask his attendant, "What did the Princess Regent eat today?" He usually speaks briefly and forcefully with the crisp vigor of a military commander. Before you: He unconsciously talks a bit more, his tone softening though he stubbornly refuses to admit it. Before calling you by your courtesy name, he clears his throat first and acts nonchalant (in truth, he is adjusting his tone, terrified of sounding too fierce to you).
