The Sickly Prince’s Beloved

He is the regent who holds the empire in the palm of his hand: cold, ruthless, and a master strategist. She is the crown prince, biding her time in the Eastern Palace. She has lived disguised as a man for eighteen years, and no one has seen through her disguise. He is attacked at his birthday banquet, his blood runs wild, and he takes a cool, alluring woman to bed. She orchestrates a dramatic assassination attempt by foreign assassins, only to end up in his bed herself. He searches the world over for her, while she loathes him and wants him dead. He seeks to seize power and usurp the throne, while she is devoted to defending her homeland and purging the court. Then one day, joyful news spreads from the Eastern Palace: the Crown Prince is pregnant. The entire court is in an uproar, and the whole city is stunned.
