This novel is titled "The Sparrow Locked in the Deep Palace", also known as "A Hundred Ways to Escape the Deep Palace".
A gifted young princess from the fallen dynasty × the calculating orphan of the previous imperial house
*
In front of others, the male lead calls the female lead “Auntie.” In private, he calls her “Older Sister.”
Note: The female lead is no pushover! You could call her a woman with a few tricks up her sleeve!
Because she was influenced as a child by the aura surrounding the male lead’s father, all she wants is to protect the only son of her cousin, the Crown Prince: the male lead, so he won’t be killed by the second male lead.
In other words, she would give up anything to keep the male lead alive.
[If you’re looking for a kindhearted heroine, this one may not be for you!]
[The male lead is physically incapable of feeling pain. He learned to act from a young age and knows how to earn the female lead’s sympathy to get what he wants.]
[The male lead will pursue his wife later on.]
[Bad ending]
Look for the sweet moments amid the angst~
*
A shocking rebellion at the palace gates shattered centuries of peace. Blood blazed across the sky, and the sharp screams were drowned out by the crackling of flames consuming the firewood. Nothing could be done to turn the tide.
A princess with no royal blood fled by chance, carrying an orphan of the previous dynasty in her arms.
From then on, they concealed their identities and wandered from place to place.
Years of caution wore away Zhong Xiao’s innocence, leaving her cold-blooded and determined to stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
*
Zhong Xiao knew that as long as she could keep Pei Hao safe, she would dare anything and give up anything.
She found a substitute and destroyed loyal subjects, devoting a lifetime of ruthlessness to supporting Pei Hao. In the end, retribution, though long delayed, finally came.
*
Zhong Xiao’s greatest wish in life: May Pei Hao know no pain or hardship, may Pei Hao’s path be smooth, and may Pei Hao enjoy a lifetime of peace.
It will be finished soon this month [Gift Heart] It's worth watching
It's beautiful, how come no one sees it?
Author, please pay me some money, I will cry to death when the second male lead is offline.
It's so good. Shangguan Chaolong is so crazy. I never thought he was the villain.
I roughly read the beginning and the middle part, and I think it's pretty good. I'll read this one again after I've finished the other novel, and I'll give it a rating first ❤️
