The Noble Consort Just Wants to Slack Off, but His Majesty Insists on Spoiling Her Alone

At five, Lu Wanning was betrothed to Crown Prince Xiao Yan. At thirteen, the crown prince was deposed, and she was forced to marry into Prince Ning's household.

Everyone said she was a social climber who had turned her back on her childhood sweetheart.

Only she knew she had married into Prince Ning's household to become a pair of eyes protecting the crown prince from the shadows.

Six years later, the crown prince was reinstated. Then, after he ascended the throne, an imperial edict snatched her back from Prince Ning's household.

He asked her coldly, "Tired of life at Prince Ning's? You were willing to come back after all."

She dared not tell him. She could not.

He summoned her to his bedchamber every night, yet never deigned to speak a kind word to her.

He burned the memorials impeaching her from the entire court, then turned around and had a huge fight with her over a white jade hairpin.

He said, "You are the only woman in my harem," never knowing that through every winter night in Prince Ning's household, she had endured by thinking of her "Crown Prince Brother."

The emperor's jealousy was spilling everywhere, while the beloved consort's secret weighed heavily on her heart.

Only when the truth came to light did he realize she had never betrayed him.
