The Prince's Captive Princess of a Fallen Kingdom

[First Love × Unhinged Crown Prince vs. Fallen Princess × Angsty Romance] He was once the lowest-ranking hostage in the depths of the Liug Kingdom’s imperial palace, trampled by everyone. Only the little princess, An Nan, secretly brought him food and kept him safe. She was the only light in his dark years. Sheng Xu, crown prince of the Dasheng Empire, once vowed that if he ever rose again, he would devote his entire life to loving her. But war broke out and Liug fell. The once-noble princess became a lowly prisoner overnight. He returned through rivers of blood, now the most esteemed heir to the Dasheng throne, and could only watch as the light of his life sank into the mud. With every step fraught with difficulty, rejected by the world? He would defy fate itself! Sheng Xu disregarded the feud between their nations and risked public outrage to keep her hidden at his side, deep in the Eastern Palace. She hated him to the bone and held a dagger to his heart, seeking revenge for her country. He only smiled and pulled her into his arms, letting the blade pierce his clothes. “Go ahead, An Nan. This life is already something I owe you. Just don’t hurt yourself.”
