Prisoner of the Eastern Palace

[Ruthless Possessiveness] [The Husband's Long Road to Winning Her Back] [Court Intrigue]

In the twenty-fifth year of the Xuanzhen reign, the emperor falls gravely ill.

Li Shenzhi, who has spent several years stationed in his fief, is summoned back to the capital and made Crown Prince.

The entire capital is thrown into an uproar.

Winter has arrived, and the streets of the capital are blanketed in white.

The court's power structure is reshuffled. Countless officials are executed, and the snow turns crimson. Everyone keeps silent, trembling with fear day and night.

Shen Qingli sighs, "He didn't even spare his former teacher. The Crown Prince is far too cold-blooded..."

Little does she know that the Crown Prince has been standing behind her with his hands clasped behind his back.

After they fall out, an unexpected turn of events forces her to be entrusted to the Eastern Palace.

Knowing her place, she keeps her distance and makes sure not to anger him.

As the days pass, her relationship with the Crown Prince finally begins to thaw. Even so, she lives in constant fear and doesn't want to leave her life in someone else's hands so easily.

The newly appointed top scholar needs a wife, and she needs protection. They hit it off at once.

Perhaps she will spend the rest of her life as a dutiful wife and mother, living a quiet, ordinary life.

But the person who arrives that day is not the newly appointed top scholar. It is the Crown Prince.

With a dark expression, the Crown Prince backs her into a corner, inch by inch. "Are you that eager to get married?"

Imprisoned in the Eastern Palace, no one can find her.

Everyone thinks Li Shenzhi has returned for revenge.

But after Li Shenzhi turns the court upside down,

only then do they realize:

There is no cycle of cause and effect, no inescapable retribution.

This madman's only creed in life is:

Those who follow me will prosper; those who oppose me will perish.
