   Reader note

   I am Xiao Jingyu, the crown prince of a dynasty. Everyone says I'm a freak, and I think so myself, because I'm naturally averse to smiling. Rumor has it that I didn't cry like other babies at birth, and even as I grew up, I didn't like to talk, always indifferent to everything. I hate being disturbed, and if anyone tries to disturb my peace, I immediately exercise my authority as crown prince. Therefore, my reputation is bad, but I don't care. Apart from my father and mother, everyone seems to be afraid of me. But it doesn't matter; I thought my life would just be like this forever. Until I met her, Shen Jiaojiao. Whether it was love at first sight or lust at first sight, it stirred my long-dormant heart. I, Shen Jiaojiao, the daughter of the current prime minister, accidentally bumped into that person's arms while playing, and from then on, I couldn't escape. (The cunning crown prince Xiao Jingyu) × (The aloof beauty Shen Jiaojiao) Love at first sight, step by step, a sweet romance. He is the only heir of the Great Jing Dynasty, the only crown prince. Yet, she was a true oddball. Born without crying or fussing, and even as she grew up, she rarely spoke. The few words she uttered were all spoken to Shen Jiaojiao. Shen Jiaojiao, a soul from another world, was transported into a book called *The Demise of the Great Jing Dynasty*. In the book, only the male protagonist, Xiao Jingyu, was naturally dull and seemingly without desires, unlike ordinary people, and ruthless in his actions. Logically, he should have been a truly "good" emperor, and shouldn't have perished. Who knew that because the male protagonist, "Little Whale," disliked women and had no offspring, the Great Jing Dynasty fell?! What a bizarre book! Shen Jiaojiao, of course, transmigrated into it, becoming the daughter of the prime minister, frail and sickly from childhood. The poor prime minister, though honest and upright throughout his life, couldn't cure Shen Jiaojiao's weakness. One day, the aloof crown prince came to propose marriage, offering the national treasury as a dowry to marry Shen Jiaojiao, the daughter of the Shen family. From that moment on, the aloof crown prince was bathed in light...

    This book is truly amazing! Although the title is so-so, the heroine, a princess betrothed by the late emperor, is showered with love and affection. Because she's been frail since childhood and unable to leave the house, rumors have always circulated that she's plain-looking. However, the male lead remains chaste for his unseen fiancée. Not only is he from a prestigious family and a top scholar, but he's also incredibly handsome and attracts many suitors. He falls head over heels for her at their second meeting. The heroine had someone she liked before, but due to family background and other factors, they couldn't be together. Later, the male lead takes the initiative to enter her heart, replacing her unrequited love. Their time together is incredibly sweet and blissful. It's truly a wonderful book.
