[Clearheaded, independent noblewoman with a mask × two-faced, unhinged crown prince]
Rumor has it that the crown prince has a beloved, a woman of low birth.
Rumor has it that he knelt outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a whole day and night, begging to marry the woman he loved until he fainted.
Rumor has it that love has tormented the crown prince, provoking the emperor's wrath and earning his contempt.
Rumor has it...
Just as the rumors were spreading like wildfire, an imperial decree arrived at the Lu residence.
Lu Li knelt on the ground, raised the decree high in both hands, and accepted it. “Your humble subject accepts the decree. Long live the Emperor!”
From then on, Lu Li, the legitimate daughter of the Taiyuan Lu clan, took up residence in the Eastern Palace.
, ,
Since childhood, Lu Li had everything others could strive for over several lifetimes and still never obtain: a distinguished family, boundless wealth, the affection of her elders, and a face of incomparable beauty...
So, for the sake of the Lu clan, she plunged into the abyss without hesitation.
She had once looked forward to her future husband, but she knew she had never had a choice. It didn't matter whom she married. At least he was the second most powerful man in the realm.
But... why did the crown prince from all those rumors seem a little off?
