[Love After Marriage + Contract Marriage + Both Pure + Palace Intrigue + Sweet Romance] A lighthearted, funny story about falling in love after marriage. Xiang Zhitang would also love to know how she was chosen to become the Crown Princess and married into the Eastern Palace.
Fortunately, she had met the Crown Prince twice outside the palace. She had hoped to lie flat and take life as it came, but the Empress wouldn't allow it...
So Xiang Zhitang takes the initiative, caring for him and keeping him company, only to make things worse at every turn and plunge everything into further chaos.
At first, Crown Prince Ling Xiao simply finds her amusing. The more time they spend together, the more he realizes she has quite a lot of demands.
Fifth Prince Ling Yun is not very shrewd, but he hates Ling Xiao and wants him dead! When poisoning fails, he tries arrows; when one attempt doesn't work, he tries again; if he can't get him inside the palace, he'll do it outside!
The two fall in love over time and, after a long struggle, she finally gets pregnant. (The child won't feature in the story; the pregnancy is just to move the plot along.) Just as it seems she's about to enjoy the happy life of a Crown Princess, with her husband and child by her side, she discovers
She was adopted. She's not actually the biological daughter of the Minister of Revenue's family...
The day her true parentage is revealed, Xiang Zhitang weeps like a flower in the rain. “What are we going to do?”
Only after the two flee to a foreign land do they learn that Xiang Zhitang's true identity is even more impressive... Let's see who turns out to be beneath whom!
When they return to the palace to punish the villain, they confront him and discover that the real villain is someone else entirely...
