Toppling the Eastern Palace

【The Aloof Crown Prince Descends from His Pedestal (Automatically)~Both Leads Are Chaste: A Clever, Daring, and Satisfying Heroine VS a Steady, Powerful, and Devoted Hero (The Heroine Doesn’t Understand Love, and Leifeng Pagoda Is About to Fall~)】 The cool and noble Crown Prince unexpectedly chose Song Yuexiao of the Grand Tutor’s household to be his Crown Princess. But she was a free-spirited fish demon, the most carefree creature in the martial world. How could someone with her nature be content to be confined within the palace walls? After all, glory and wealth meant nothing to her. All she wanted was to keep her own feelings, while he insisted on having her. A year ago, Song Yuexiao finally escaped the Crown Princess’s position in this slow, simmering contest. But he had trapped himself in a cage of his own making. A year later, the Li River burst its banks. The Crown Prince went in person to oversee disaster relief, and they met again, yet failed to recognize each other. Surely this story was finally over? Not a chance! Chen Yi: Song Yuexiao, I have lit nine thousand nine hundred lamps, hoping only that you’ll promise me a love that lasts forever! Song Yuexiao: Being by the Crown Prince’s side may bring glory, but it is also a shackle. I want no part of it. Don’t throw away your whole life for a little love. A few notes: 1. The heroine treats life like a game. She is carefree and loves stirring up trouble, but her values are sound, and she is adored by everyone. 2. In the relationship between the leads, the hero loves more deeply and suffers a great deal in the early chapters. 3. There is no third party in the true sense of the word. The enemy is oneself. (No amnesia trope.) 4. There is no palace intrigue in the true sense of the word. The other characters’ schemes are beneath the heroine’s notice. She has a much broader perspective.
