When the Wild Goose Returns Qing Yan takes the place of a runaway princess to marry into the Yi Kingdom. The people of Yi Kingdom say the newly arrived princess is bright-eyed and enchanting, full of spirit and charm—undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the land. Her eyes captivate effortlessly. She is betrothed to Prince Zhan—a fearsome war god once known for killing without blinking, who even as a monk, draws countless admirers with his devastatingly handsome face. Later, when the real princess reappears, the capital is shocked to discover the admired princess was a fake. The public eagerly waits for Qing Yan to be cast out in disgrace. Even her former lover—now a eunuch—makes sarcastic invitations for her to “dine together”… The day she tries to escape, Qing Yan stuffs a bundle full of her favorite lotus pastries. Just thinking about leaving all the delicious food in the prince’s mansion makes her sob pitifully. He thinks she’s crying because she can’t bear to leave him. Gently patting her head, he fondly kisses her tear-streaked eyes while counting his prayer beads. She tries to explain, but he shoves a lotus pastry into her mouth. No one knows he had long since carved her into his heart and soul. For the rest of his life, this once fearsome man would both guard her with his blade and cook for her with rolled-up sleeves—turning all the flavors of the world into sweetness just for her.
