The Aloof Crown Prince's Beloved

Main story complete.

My upcoming novel, A Tough Man Marries a Young Bride, is open for preorders. If you like it, please add it to your collection!

A peacock of a man who struts his stuff for love goes completely mad after realizing his wife doesn't like him.

A mistress's standing, a wife’s bearing.

Li Chengyi is the crown prince, born of the imperial line, and the most honored man in all of Great Yong.

Every noble-born young woman dreams of marrying Li Chengyi, but he is aloof and proud, like the moon in the heavens, impossible to approach.

Little do they know that the heart of the cold and distant crown prince holds an utterly ordinary mute woman.

He used his own schemes to coax her to the capital, believing their feelings were mutual.

But in the end, he was the only one in love.

He can only set aside the dignity of his position as crown prince and learn how to win a woman's heart.

He wants her to be just as lost in love as he is, unable to escape its tides.

The heroine's perspective:

Lin Yanshu rescued a handsome fool who couldn't remember anything.

This same fool stole her away on her wedding night.

He told her he was a man of importance, but she never imagined he was the heir to the throne.

So impossibly far beyond her reach.

He said:

"Lin Yanshu, if there's something you don't want, I'll take care of it for you."

She thought Li Chengyi was simply repaying her kindness. She never expected he wanted to repay her in bed as well as out of it.

After she discovered the man's indecent designs on her, Li Chengyi enticed her with a pleading voice:

"Show me a little mercy, just once. Will you?"

Xie Shuran was one of the greatest beauties in Yangzhou, yet her aunt married her off to Cheng Zhengye, a dirt-poor man from the village.

Aside from his ruggedly handsome face, he had no redeeming qualities. He knew nothing of poetry, had no romantic sensibility, and came back from the fields every day smelling awful. All he knew was sleeping with her, working up a sweat as he plowed away. He was a complete country bumpkin.

Xie Shuran refused to settle for such a life. After making countless plans, she reclaimed the inheritance her mother had left her from her aunt.

She left with a letter of divorce, convinced that she and Cheng Zhengye would never cross paths again.

But when they met once more, he had become the formidable General Cheng, a rising favorite at the emperor's side.

That mighty General Cheng climbed through her bedroom window in the middle of the night, clinging to her and pinning her down.

"Wife, I never agreed to divorce you."

"For the rest of your life, you'll be with me and no other man."

Theme: Love can cross boundaries of status and class
