Prologue
  From the sky, small droplets of rain poured down, causing Feng Zhi Yao's hair to become damp and her skin creamy. Her morning make-up had long since disappeared from her simple face. Excluding a pure and elegant nature, her slender and thick eyelashes adorned her eyes, carrying a few tears. At the moment, she looked pure and untainted, making people fearful of blaspheming about her.

When Zi Yun looked at her lady, she noticed that even under the sadness her lady felt, her lady still had a beautiful temperament. With this, even she couldn't bear to continue watching.

At the next moment, she remembered her master's command. Quickly, she prepared some reassuring words of comfort. "Eldest Miss... Eldest Miss, I beg you not to remain in the rain anymore. When you get wet, your body will become uncomfortable. Then what will you do if you end up with a cold?" Her anxious words held within it much concern.

"Zi Yun, I love him.  I really am innocent, so why doesn't he believe me? Why does he want to break out engagement?" As Feng Zhi Yao spoke softly, she cried, her tears blending in with the rain. It was hard to tell if her face was covered with a little more tears, or a little more rain. 

"Eldest Miss, as the saying goes, there is no fragrant grass under the heavens. Why should you suffer from unrequited love with Qi Wang, that stalk of grass, !" When Zi Yun spoke the two words, 'Qi Wang', she gnashed her teeth. If he had not been so unyielding in wanting the engagement to be broken, Eldest Miss would not have gone outside so early in the morning to think, subsequently getting wet from the rain.

"Zi Yun, it's just that I am unable to do this..." Looking into the rain which was becoming increasingly heavy, Feng Zhi Yao shouted, "I really love him! When I first saw him, I went crazy with love! That time, I was only twelve!"

"Eldest Miss, don't be like this, let us return to the room! Your body has always been quite weak, you shouldn't let the rain soak you." As Zi Yun and Feng Zhi Yao had grown up together, they were like sisters. "Eldest Miss..."

Feng Zhi Yao's eyes flashed as she recalled scenes of her time spent talking gently with Qi Wang. She had tried her best to forget, just that her mind was unable to control these scenes from spilling out.

At the moment, accompanied by the loud roars of thunder was the rain. It was becoming heavier and heavier while the sky turned darker. The sounds of thunder came one after another, while the lighting illuminated the sky. The wind was extremely strong, causing tree branches to snap. In just an instant, the rain would become even heavier. Within  just a short period of time, it was like the rain was pouring down, the sky resembling a humongous waterfall.

A gust of wind blew by, causing the waterfall like rain to be blown of course as though it was like smoke, fog or even dust.

"Breaking the engagement? Hahaha..." Feng Zhi Yao faced the intense rain as she cried loudly, laughing and crying all the while. Her words sounded completely insane especially when she desperately began attacking herself.

"Eldest Miss, don't hit yourself!" Zi Yun cried to the heavens as she grabbed at Feng Zhi Yao.

"Come, quickly report this to this matter to the Master!"
