Un mago o una strega apparve nel paese, nessuno lo sapeva. Le persone appaiono sempre sotto mentite spoglie, e di solito una strega usa il sangue umano per qualche scopo. A loro rischio e pericolo, il re e la regina organizzarono comunque un ballo. Il principe stava passeggiando per la sala con la sua dama di compagnia, con la quale voleva sposarsi, e notò brevemente una ragazza importunata da un uomo. Il principe pensò: "Che imprudenza. Infastidire una ragazza proprio al ballo". Il principe ridacchiò tra sé, ma esteriormente rimase indifferente. Quando si avvicinò al centro, il principe notò che alcuni degli invitati se n'erano già andati, compresa la ragazza con l'uomo che la importunava. Il principe si accorse che qualcosa era cambiato. Uscì dalla sala da ballo e si ritrovò in un corridoio che collegava diverse stanze o sezioni del castello, compresa l'uscita. Il principe udì la risata della ragazza e si diresse verso il suono. Ben presto, in uno sgabuzzino, vide una ragazza con un pugnale in mano e un uomo seduto ai suoi piedi. Erano la ragazza e il furfante che la importunava.

The prince had a "difficult childhood," but he didn't think so. The prince loved his parents, despite the fact that they forced him to do many things from childhood, for example: as a child (from the age of 5), the prince was forced to behave collectedly even in his free time, they forced him to improve himself (from the age of 10) in order to ascend to heaven.
Last year, when the prince turned 16, his mother said that the prince would marry the princess of a neighboring state:
Prince: Why do I find out a week before the wedding?!
Mother: You would have refused. But now you will marry. It will be good for our country!
His father was always busy, so his mother dealt with all his son's problems. It wasn't very encouraging. After all, his mother was strict. The prince married to establish relations between the two countries...his bride's name was Li Mei. Li Mei was understanding, so Qing Hua and Li Mei agreed to put on a show in public—they were happy to be married and had a good relationship. In everyday life, Li Mei and the prince became close and good friends, but the prince's heart wasn't in Li Mei. Li Mei and Qing Hua were like brother and sister. This was comforting and gave her confidence that there was at least one person who would support her.
Balls were held once a month, all the important people of the state came to the ball and the prince had to "keep" a calm and indifferent face
