Everyone in the capital knew that Meng Jinshi and the crown prince had been betrothed since childhood. They were a perfect match, destined for each other. But who could have guessed that her younger sister would secretly carry on with the crown prince, crushing her sincere affections underfoot?
The betrayed heroine isn’t one to be intimidated. She resolves to give her “fiance” a proper “reward,” and sets her sights on him: the crown prince’s imperial uncle.
The hero is the emperor’s younger brother, a man of high rank and power, usually aloof and restrained. Yet when he sees the heroine, his heart stirs. From then on, he draws closer to her step by step, appearing by her side time and again, whether by design or by chance, while affection quietly takes root.
“There, don’t cry. Just bear with it.”
He stroked her dark hair, pressing closer and closer. His gaze burned as he looked down at the little white rabbit beneath him, a hint of panic in her eyes. His voice was low and tender. “There, didn’t you tell me you wanted to secure your place through a child?”
Faced with the hero’s sudden affection, the heroine is thrown into confusion. She doesn’t know whether his feelings are real. Could this act really turn into the real thing?
Little does she know that a conspiracy is quietly closing in.
