The Chronicles of Qi Ning

[Pei Qingji, a scheming, obsessive emperor who begs for love × Luo Qi, a pampered and priceless eldest princess who defies convention × Shen Qinghuai, a refined and upright top scholar who bows his head for love × Yan Heng, a dashing commander of the Imperial Guard who tames his wild ways for love] [Half palace intrigue, half political scheming × extremely doting romance × strong male and female leads × love and hate × not biological siblings × 1v3] [The male lead resorts to coercion to claim her in the latter part of the story] Shen Qinghuai is clear-headed, yet willingly loses himself in love. Pei Qingji schemes for power and profit, all to keep her in the imperial palace. Yan Heng falls in love and knows it, willingly taming his wild ways for her. Luo Qi sees through everything and loves no one. She is no self-sacrificing saint and never goes easy on anyone. The heroine’s values are anyone’s guess.
