I, Song Zhiling, am the illegitimate daughter of the Song family, and my motto in life is to lie flat.
I thought my biggest worry would be which plain outfit to wear today, but then an imperial decree dropped me straight into the Eastern Palace to take my cousin's place as the bride of Huai Xiao, the black-clad, ruthless Crown Prince.
Whatever. Whom you marry hardly matters, right?
My only regret was the young man in white I met at a street corner a few months ago. We spent the whole afternoon talking poetry, but he disappeared before we could even exchange names.
After marrying into the Eastern Palace, I kept to myself as an invisible Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince paid me no mind.
That suited me just fine.
Until one day, the way he looked at me changed.
He stopped coldly poring over memorials and began asking, in roundabout ways, whether I was happy.
He said he wanted us to be the only ones in each other's lives forever. I said, “You must be joking.” He replied, “Do I look like I am?”
Me: ???
Even more absurdly, at a palace banquet, that young man in white was sitting among the envoys, smiling at me.
Oh wow, Yun Sheng, the hostage prince of an enemy state.
My husband is the Crown Prince, and my unattainable first love is a hostage prince.
And my sworn-enemy older sister, Song Wanrong, who cried as she refused to marry the Crown Prince, went on to marry Prince Anyang, who dotes on her endlessly.
Every absurd thing in the world has happened to me.
Reading guide: An obsessive, unhinged Crown Prince × a wily, lie-flat Crown Princess
Happy ending, one-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first and only, love after marriage
The heroine's little crush on the second male lead vanishes as soon as the hero starts “going crazy”
Second male lead: I was only a few months late, and the sky has already fallen
The side couples are great too, but this is the main couple's story. If you want to see Prince Anyang humbly pursue his wife, a general and her thick-headed but tenaciously devoted partner, the princess and her young guard's romance, or the music-house girl's unrequited love, see you in the main story~
