Book Description
[Pure historical romance + seven years of careful scheming + forceful, possessive love + emotional push and pull + doting and flirtation]
[A sweet, delicate young woman with fifth-level martial arts skills VS a cold, calculating, domineering prince]
A sudden conspiracy leads to the execution of Ye Yiyi’s father and brothers, generals in the army, while the women of the Ye family are exiled to Ningguta.
On the freezing, snowbound road to exile, they encounter the once-crown prince, now Prince of the South, Dongfang Moyu: powerful, renowned for his valor, and long accustomed to galloping across battlefields beyond the frontier.
He forcefully brings Ye Yiyi into his luxurious carriage, intent on keeping her all to himself.
Inside the military tent, steam fills the bathhouse as the prince calls Ye Yiyi to him while soaking in the tub.
She steels herself to die, intending to become his junior concubine.
All for the prince’s promise: he will investigate the wrongful deaths of her father and brothers, on the condition that she accompany the army.
The general’s daughter wipes away her tears of humiliation and says with a tremble in her voice, “I’m willing to be Prince of the South’s junior concubine.”
Dongfang Moyu looks at her calmly in astonishment. Wait, what? What is this supposed to mean? Become a junior concubine?
There’s no need to rush. We have plenty of time. I’ve been looking after you for seven years, and it wasn’t so you could become my junior concubine.
Seven years ago, in the imperial garden, eight-year-old Ye Yiyi, with her chubby baby face, ran straight into the fifteen-year-old crown prince, Dongfang Moyu.
From that moment on, he decided she would be his crown princess.
Seven years later, she is right before his eyes.
He brings her back to his prince’s manor...
He doesn’t want her as a junior concubine, and he doesn’t want them to marry first and fall in love afterward. He wants her to fall for him, then marry her...
He flirts with her, dotes on her, protects her, avenges her, and follows her around like a little attendant.
Finally, one day, the valiant Ye Yiyi declares imperiously, “I’m going to be the prince’s one and only.”
