The Ultimate Crown

The old and new factions in Yanjing have been at odds for years, with no end in sight.

So when news breaks that the Shen and Song families are joining forces through marriage, everyone is in an uproar.

Song Beizhi, second daughter of the Song family and Yanjing’s princess,

was born, everyone says, to live a life of luxury.

Song Beizhi doesn’t deny it. The hardest things she’s ever been through were perhaps being kidnapped for three days as a child and being forced into a business marriage.

But her fiancé is Shen Guannan, the eldest son and current head of the Shen family, number one on the list of the most eligible marriage partners.

He’s handsome, wealthy, and powerful. Most importantly, in twenty-five years, he’s never been involved in a single romantic scandal. He’s the ideal match for any of the great families.

The union of two top-tier families draws the attention of nearly everyone in Yanjing.

Two details about their marriage capture the most attention:

First, on the day of their engagement, Song Beizhi receives an unparalleled crown as a betrothal gift. Made of rare sapphires and pearls, it once belonged to England’s first queen. There is only one in the world, and it is said to be priceless.

Second, on their wedding night, the bride and groom leave one after the other.

Rumors swirl about this marriage between two elite families, and everyone wonders how long their fake marriage can last.

But as time goes by, no one gets the divorce they were expecting. Instead, the two appear hand in hand at a fashion show, looking completely in love.

“I love you, so I want you seated high above the rest, at the summit, looking down on them all.”
