[Both Pure, Not a Strong Female Lead, “Possessive Love”]
Rong Ci has always been good at making the most of things. From selling herself into servitude to becoming a blood bank supported by the Rong family through a twist of fate, not one step was forced upon her.
She is always looking for a way to improve her lot in life.
Later, to escape the Rong family and avenge the elder sister who once protected her,
Rong Ci sets her sights on the Crown Prince.
Word has it that the Crown Prince is the Empress's legitimate son, a brave and skilled warrior who has won considerable territory for the Great Sheng and earned the Emperor's deep trust.
He has only one shortcoming: his household contains just one frail secondary consort.
A Crown Prince hopelessly in love...?
Rong Ci doesn't believe it.
She plays the pig to eat the tiger, advancing bit by bit toward the top.
Looking at the frail secondary consort prostrated before her, Rong Ci puts on an innocent face:
See? There's no conflict!
Watching the faint shadows of figures beyond the door, malice fills Luo Qingyi's eyes. “Rong Ci, you're doing all this just to get revenge on me, aren't you? You don't love His Highness at all!”
Rong Ci smiles boldly. “Of course. It's all for you...”
He let the frail Luo Qingyi into his household because of their childhood affection.
As for the rumors that he is devoted to Luo Qingyi, Xiao Yiji makes no comment.
His ambitions lie beyond the inner court, and those rumors are a convenient way to keep trouble at bay.
Rong Ci appears just after he returns in triumph and secures his position as Crown Prince. At first, he is indeed attracted by her looks.
After all, she really is beautiful.
Then, little by little, he steps into her sweet trap.
She doesn't love him?
She will.
In the study, the bedchamber, or somewhere else...
