Su Yue was the pampered, delicate young cousin of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household. She needed mountain spring water boiled three times for her tea, lotus-seed paste with the cores removed for her desserts, and maids to support her even when she walked. Yet an imperial decree from the Empress Dowager married her to Xiao Jin, the deranged crown prince feared by everyone in the capital.
On their wedding night, Xiao Jin tossed her a contract. “We’ll divorce after a year. I’ll make sure you leave the palace safely.”
She thought it was only a transaction, never imagining that this prince, ruthless and cold-blooded to the world, would spoil her rotten.
At a palace banquet, when a concubine tried to make things difficult for her, he splashed tea on the woman in front of everyone to defend his wife. “Who do you think you are to criticize my woman?”
When she returned to her family home, her relatives mocked her for being spoiled. He declared, “Anyone who dares say a single bad word about her will have their entire clan executed!”
When servants in the Eastern Palace tried to trip her up, he purged his informants and handed her control of the household. “My crown princess can be as spoiled as she likes.”
She had only planned to endure it until the divorce, but she gradually fell for him as he doted on her. When the year was up, she took the contract and asked to leave. Xiao Jin tore it up and pulled her into his arms, his voice hoarse. “The contract is void. You can only be my crown princess.”
