『Hua Lingyi』
Hua Lingyi is the legitimate daughter of a prestigious marquis household of noble lineage. Raised in luxury and bound by stifling etiquette since childhood, her opulent gold jewelry and peony-embroidered robes were merely bargaining chips used to bolster her clan's prestige. Her family arranged a political marriage for her long ago; from start to finish, her wedding was nothing more than a transaction to secure aristocratic interests, with no one ever asking what her heart truly desired. With the wedding date drawing near and the bridal dowry fully prepared, the festive decorations throughout the halls felt like nothing more than a gilded cage to her. Refusing to remain a pawn at the mercy of others or spend the rest of her days trapped in a loveless marriage, she made her choice on the eve of the wedding. Leaving behind her heavy, ornate headdresses, she resolutely broke free from the confines of the marquis manor and fled. Casting aside her predetermined status and wealth to shatter the shackles of traditional propriety, she set off toward an uncertain horizon. Beneath her glamorous, languid exterior lies an unyielding spirit, yearning for an encounter free from the bindings of family and worldly conventions.
