The Cherished One of Prince Chen

One exquisite jade rabbit lantern brings a fated romance that will last a lifetime.

She is Lin Wan'er, an overlooked concubine-born daughter in the household of the Deputy Director of the Imperial Academy. Clever with her hands and lively in spirit, all she wants is to live peacefully within the walls of her grand home.

He is Xiao Yu, the stern and noble Prince Chen, whose power holds sway over the court. A celebrated military hero who keeps women at a distance, he is the dream lover of every noblewoman in the capital, yet forever out of reach.

On the Lantern Festival, a startled horse causes chaos. She nearly loses her life, but he catches her in his arms just in time.

At their first fleeting glance, she sees stars in his eyes. He, in turn, remembers her clear, startled doe-like eyes and the exquisite jade rabbit lantern that fell into the dirt but remained unbroken.

From then on, a stone is quietly cast into the cold-hearted prince's heart.

He watches her being bullied and steps in without a word. He tastes the pastries she makes and secretly keeps them. He lets her shelter from the rain on his estate, and his heart softens toward her.

He protects and cherishes her, showering her with boundless affection, until all the world knows that this humble, overlooked girl is the precious treasure of his heart, untouchable and beyond anyone's claim.

From one fleeting glance to falling in love at every turn, from worlds apart in status to a blissful match.

See how His Highness Prince Chen spoils his little darling as if she were the whole world.
