[One-on-one romance, both leads are each other’s first and only, fictional dynasty, don’t overthink the historical details]
Xu Rong and Xie Kexing grew up together as childhood sweethearts. They married at fifteen, had their first son at seventeen, and then divorced by mutual consent.
Everyone said the Third Prince’s maternal family had been weak back then, and he owed his place as Crown Prince entirely to marrying the Xu family’s only daughter. Now that he had grown powerful, why would he let his wife’s family hold him back? Casting Xu Rong aside like an old shoe was only a matter of time. Their so-called “divorce” was merely a way to spare the Xu family’s dignity. He hadn’t even bothered to issue a formal divorce decree.
After the divorce, Xu Rong returned to her family’s fief with her parents, seemingly confirming the rumors that the Crown Prince had cast off his first wife. He wouldn’t even let her stay in the capital for long.
Four years later, Xu Rong returned to the capital.
Before Shenwu Gate, the sons of noble families knelt in the street, begging Miss Xu to marry again.
“Miss Xu, I have admired you for a long time. I only hope to spend the rest of my life by your side.”
The carriage curtain stirred, revealing half of a peerlessly beautiful face. She gave a cold, faint smile, her voice clear as shattering jade.
“Your feelings are so sincere, Young Master Pei. Xu Rong… is deeply touched.”
“Then stay at the Duke of Xu’s residence, ”
“And be my watchdog.”
Everyone said the Crown Prince was compassionate and noble, while the eldest Miss Xu was domineering and ill-tempered. They were not suited to each other.
But no one knew the Eastern Palace lay empty because he was waiting for one person to come home. She was his precious pearl, his lifeline. He could not live without her.
