Fallen Jade Blossoms: The Crown Prince’s Ruthless Pursuit

A gracious yet calculating and ruthless Crown Prince X a pure, elegant, strong-willed young lady of a noble family. Five-year age gap.

That day, the sky stretched endlessly beneath the sun, and the clouds glowed a rich red. When Li Yan first saw Wang Siyue, she was standing beneath a plum tree, gazing up at the crimson clouds filling the sky. Her hair flowed like clouds, and the morning light fell upon her jade-like face. She was as lovely as Chang’e herself, her purity surpassing that of ice in a crystal vessel. Truly cool and refined.

Seated in his palanquin, Li Yan watched her smile serenely. Her snow-white ruqun shimmered like winter sunlight, enhancing her graceful, noble figure, as though she were a celestial maiden from a sacred mountain beyond the heavens.

At that moment, a glint flashed in Li Yan’s deep eyes, and the corner of his lips curled upward.

When they met again, she was a learned and talented woman who could discuss the past and present with him. That very night, Li Yan knew he would choose only Wang Siyue to be his Crown Princess.

But when the imperial decree appointing her Crown Princess was issued, news broke that Wang Siyue had died of an illness.

Li Yan had thought she was just an ordinary noblewoman, and that one day he would be able to let go.

But it wasn’t until he was traveling south to Jinling and glimpsed Wang Siyue in another man’s arms that he understood. Her supposed “death from illness” had been nothing more than a lie to escape being married into the Eastern Palace. There had never been a place for him in her heart.

No matter how much he tried to please her, whenever he pursued the woman he loved, she coldly rejected him.

When the man Wang Siyue loved was framed and killed, Li Yan could no longer suppress his desire. He would take another man’s wife by force. Even if he had to drag her, like a jade blossom, into his embrace, he would make her his Crown Princess.
