Oh No, The Prince Kissed the Little White Flower Unconscious

[Innocent, pampered beauty × possessive prince who craves her love]

Song Zhaohui was born lucky. Her parents doted on her, and the Song family was royalty by marriage, the empress’s birth family. She had never known a moment of worry.

When she was fifteen, her aunt the empress passed away. The emperor had loved Empress Song deeply, and he agreed to her dying wish: his next empress would come from the Song clan.

The Song family could not bear to give up their power and wealth, but every eligible woman in the household was already married, while the younger girls were too young for the responsibility. So the position fell to Song Zhaohui.

When she heard she would have to enter the palace and serve an emperor old enough to be her father, Song Zhaohui cried and protested day after day. Her parents favored her, and after much deliberation, they sent their eldest daughter, Song Zhaoxi, into the palace instead. Song Zhaoxi had been engaged and was waiting to marry, but she lay low in the palace and carefully maneuvered until she managed to send Song Zhaohui to Prince Shun’s residence as his secondary consort.

Prince Shun, Li Jingsu, was the emperor’s least remarkable seventh son. In the winter of the twenty-fifth year of Chengde, he took Song Zhaohui’s hand, and with it, the light and warmth that would fill his life. He knew she was sheltered from the ways of the world and that her heart belonged to someone else, yet he loved her all the same, every part of her.

He was her sunshine, and she was his air. No one can live without air, and Li Jingsu could not live without Song Zhaohui. Even if he had to overthrow the throne and conquer the world, he would embrace her and kiss her without hesitation, telling her how much he loved her, for all eternity, until death.

[P.S. The hero has wives and concubines, but has never touched them. He only has feelings for the heroine. The heroine grows over time: she’s very innocent at first and cries when things go wrong, but later she tears her elder sister to shreds.]
