The Crown Prince Is No Good Man

She was the legitimate daughter of the Chancellor's household, trained in martial arts from a young age and exceptionally skilled.

She had someone she loved, and always thought that once she came of age, she and her beloved would marry and spend their lives together.

But when an imperial decree arrived, she was forced to marry into the Eastern Palace.

Only then did she learn that ever since their first meeting in the peach grove at Guanyin Temple, the Crown Prince had fallen in love with her at first sight and waited for her for three whole years.

But her lack of love for him made the Crown Prince consumed with jealousy. Was her beloved's death an accident, or had someone plotted against him? Was her maid's betrayal driven by selfish motives, or had someone coerced and bribed her?

And did it all seem to have a close connection to the Crown Prince?

When she learned the truth, she laughed in fury as tears slid down her cheeks. “Your Highness, will you only be satisfied when you’ve watched everyone around me die one by one?”

The Crown Prince's handsome face was cold as he replied, every word edged with spite. “When have I ever cared whether they lived or died?”

Was it all a misunderstanding between them, or prejudice? When the veil of mystery was finally lifted, could he give her the life she longed for, with one partner for all eternity?
