Tang Wu was the top courtesan of the capital’s Junmeng Garden, a precious pearl cherished in the palm of the Mama (Gu Jiuniang).
The first time they met was also the day of her debut.
He sat in a private room, looking down at her with an air of superiority, while she carefully lifted her slender, fair arm to pour him wine.
His face was like polished jade, elegant and refined, at a glance a noble gentleman of dignity.
She thought to herself, better to be sold to this man before her than to that Count Cheng’an who haunted the brothel every day.
So, summoning her courage, she timidly hooked his palm with her little finger…
Song Xi (□□) calmly raised the wine cup and drained it in one go.
He sighed inwardly, indeed it was so.
The night was enticing, her beauty intoxicating.

First meeting, Tang Wu: “Does Your Highness think my identity is too lowly, that you can cast me aside as you please?”
Song Xi frowned, saying nothing.
During household strife, Tang Wu: “If Your Highness thinks I am being unreasonable, then I might as well leave now.”
A dull ache struck Song Xi’s chest, and he immediately reached out to stop her.
While pregnant, Tang Wu: “If Your Highness thinks I am not worthy of you, then…”
Song Xi covered her mouth with his hand, lowering himself as he murmured, “It’s I who is unworthy. Is that good enough?”
