Possessive Crown Prince brother × beloved little princess
Mu Yanqi, the ninth princess of the Great Lin, was born surrounded by love and had just one lifelong wish: to lie flat and do nothing.
But could someone explain this to her?
Why had the prince of Xiliang traveled thousands of miles to ask for her hand, refusing to marry anyone else?
When did she become engaged, and why was her betrothed the young lord of the Hua family?
Most outrageous of all, why had the royal brother who had doted on her since childhood said with red-rimmed eyes, “I love you”?
Even the emperor of the neighboring Jing Kingdom was closing in on her, his intentions obvious.
On her wedding night, while the red candles were still burning, her royal brother burst in and swept her into his arms. Ignoring the court’s outrage and the emperor’s fury, he locked her in the Eastern Palace. “I told you long ago that you weren’t allowed to marry. I’m the only one in this world who can marry you.”
When the lavish favor the Emperor of Jing showered on her spread throughout Great Lin, he finally went completely mad.
Later, he pinned her against the palace wall, gripping her waist, his voice trembling. “From now on, don’t even think about running away from your brother again...”
