Who Wants to Be a Concubine in the Marquis's Household? Life in the Eastern Palace Is the Sweetest

Just after Song Zhiyi arrived in the Kingdom of Zhao, she saved Lu Xing'an, who had fallen off a cliff and broken his leg. She tended to him day and night for two years. Once he recovered, Lu Xing'an promised to marry her. When they reached the capital, she learned that Lu Xing'an was the heir to a marquis's estate, and that he planned to marry both his principal wife and concubines at the same time. She would be his concubine. Song Zhiyi: “Get lost, you scumbag!” She turned and walked away with her head held high, only to run into Lu Xing'an's sworn enemy, Prince Jing. Mistaking him for a lecher, she had him hauled off to the authorities. Old grudges and new grievances boiled over. Prince Jing ground his teeth and snarled, “Bring that woman here! I’ll tear her limb from limb!” But instead of killing her, Prince Jing kept her by his side, never letting her out of his sight. Song Zhiyi used her medical skills to save her own life, cured the prince who should have died young, and helped him ascend to the position of Crown Prince. By the time he claimed the Crown Prince's seat, she had become his one and only Crown Princess. Lu Xing'an showed up at her door with bloodshot eyes, accusing Song Zhiyi of coveting wealth and climbing the social ladder. The possessive Crown Prince was green with jealousy. “Zhiyi has touched those two legs of his, hasn't she?” Song Zhiyi choked. “That was ages ago. Let’s not bring it up. I might as well have saved a dog.” The Crown Prince sneered. “Then break the dog's legs and throw him out, so he can't go around biting people again!”
