The Crown Prince's Beloved Consort

Before transmigrating, Ya Li was an absolute history dunce. So she had no idea why her husband was such a… lunatic! He was a crown prince, high above everyone else, yet he acted like a street thug! He made every woman in his household drink contraceptive soup! Every single one! Your Highness, are you trying to end your family line? He fought with ministers and drew his blade on his brothers. Your Highness, you’re going to be Emperor one day! You’re supposed to be benevolent and treat your family with affection! He fell out with the concubines. That’s your father’s favorite consort! Aren’t you afraid she’ll make trouble for you? And now he wants to give up his position as crown prince. Can you even resign from that? Aren’t you afraid they’ll take you at your word? Ya Li plucked up her courage and tried to talk some sense into him. How did that end with her being made crown princess? “Your Highness… I… I’m timid!” Terrified, Ya Li fled and never wanted to see that thug again! The crown prince’s favorite line was: “I beg Imperial Father to strip me of my position as crown prince!” For the first ten years, he meant it. The next ten years… he probably just said it out of habit… Not a mutually exclusive relationship at first; later, a devoted one-on-one romance with her as his sole favorite, dazzling the entire harem. Set in a fictional dynasty, so please don’t take it as history.
