When Yue Zhan requested the emperor to grant him a marriage, he already knew of Lin Mo’s existence..
But he also knew that Lin Mo’s mother was on a hunger strike and forced Lin Mo not to marry Jing Hua.
Then he might as well marry her!
After dealing with the Longxi king, he would rather not have this military rank that had been passed down from generation to generation, and also want to protect Jing Hua.
However, Jinghua kept sending letters back to Chang ‘an, asking for peace. What he received was Jinghua telling him that the shuttlecock that she protected with her life was Lin Mo’s first gift to her.
At that time, Yue Zhan realized that he was a joke.
Jinghua didn’t need his protection at all. This silly princess would rather fall in love with the weak scholar Lin Mo than him.
Yue Zhan didn’t want to be the person who hurt Jinghua, so he had to let her go and let her go back to Chang ‘an. However, he still couldn’t let go of the girl that he had protected for years.
