Rong Qiao was granted in marriage to Xie Yanzhen, the Prince of Shao and the only prince in the state of Ye. Everyone said their marriage was merely a matter of convenience. Though she came from a distinguished family, she was frail and sickly, and the Prince of Shao would never truly care for her. Rong Qiao herself thought the same.
After their marriage, however, Xie Yanzhen doted on her in every way. Rong Qiao assumed it was all an act, nothing but false affection. Who could have guessed things would become increasingly strange? He seemed to have genuinely fallen for her, pampering her tenderly by day and whispering sweet nothings to her each night. Before long, she was hopelessly caught up in him.
Rong Qiao thought he had ulterior motives, so she planned to secretly save up some money and run away. But Xie Yanzhen was willing to give her his enormous private fortune, rich enough to rival a nation. With that, it was hard to leave him, so she obediently stayed on as his princess consort, putting on a show of marital bliss every day.
Many admirers of the prince watched with resentment. "The princess consort is so spoiled. I've never seen anything like it."
Rong Qiao replied, "You should say that to the Prince of Shao. He's the one who spoiled me this much. Honestly, he's gone too far."
Xie Yanzhen merely smiled. At first, he had indeed meant to use her. As long as she didn't leave him, he would indulge her in whatever she wanted. He never expected her to charm him without even realizing it, making him fall deeper and deeper in love with her.
Can that bad maid be discovered? Will she be harmed again? [What]
