Beanies, I am watching Scarlet Heart but one part confuses me why after the marriage with CP was canceled, Ruoxi asked 4th prince to marry her. I didn’t get the feeling she fell for him back then.

    It’s her having the future knowledge of what happens in history:

    She knows that 4th Prince will eventually become Emperor and how dangerous and slimy 8th Prince is (and will dive deeper into), so even if they don’t have feelings for each other at this point, she’s paving the road for herself so she’s guaranteed safety since she doesn’t know the specifics of her time-slipping and how long she’s going to be there
