Shen Yueqing, the legitimate daughter of a general’s household, pursued Song Qingshu for two years, only to receive an imperial decree annulling their engagement.
Song Qingshu condescendingly offered to make her his secondary wife, but in truth he wanted to seize her family’s estate and take control of the general’s troops.
Shen Yueqing turned to her sworn rival, Crown Prince Xie Moyun. She became the crown princess and dealt with her nemesis at the same time.
Everyone laughed at her for throwing herself at the crown prince, but she was determined to thrive.
What a bunch of fools. She wasn’t after love. She wanted power.
When the scumbag made a public show of his affection and ruined her reputation, Shen Yueqing produced evidence of his infidelity and nailed him to the wall.
But why was this cold, aloof crown prince always cleaning up after her? And why were they getting closer and closer? Well, he was so handsome and distinguished that she could accept this after all. She might as well be a good crown princess.
Xie Moyun:
“I once loved someone. She was my childhood sweetheart, but she thought of me as her sworn enemy. After waiting for her for ages, I finally managed to marry her into the Crown Prince’s residence and make her my crown princess.”
