It was a powerful expression of true love to give 100% of oneself for another happiness and not wanting in exchange. The family value and quality of life is the mature answer. I loved this drama and the cast did a wonderful job as I cried and laughed with them. It's a story about a princess with 3 different identity Rong Le / Man Yao / Qin Man. It starts with her being in Qi and sent to Northern as a marriage alliance between countries. She is princess rong Le to marry prince Zongzheng Wu You, but when she gets there he turns her away. So she becomes Man Yao the mistress of the tea house and here she meets prince wu you and they start to fall in love over time, but due to schemes in the palace they don't realize and confess to each other and so she is married off to a general fu(he know her true identity and uses her) who hated wu you.. The story goes on and on scheme after scheme of murder and betrayal.
