A frail, slow-witted sweetheart x her childhood friend, the Crown Prince
The current Chancellor had a daughter in his old age, after turning forty. Ruan Qingying was truly the apple of his eye, doted on by her three older full-blooded brothers as she grew up.
Of course, no one is perfect. Though she was lovely as a painting, with skin like ice and bones of jade, and was known as the most beautiful woman in Changjing, she had been born weak and sickly because her mother conceived her late in life.
Even so, Ruan Qingying was the envy of every young noblewoman in Changjing.
After all, the person who had grown up with her and cared for her in every way was none other than the cool, dignified Crown Prince, Xie Chen.
Everyone in Changjing knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was gentle, courteous, and a paragon of virtue. There wasn’t a young noblewoman in the city who had never dreamed of taking that place at his side.
As heir to the throne, he was already past twenty and still had not chosen a Crown Princess. People speculated that he wanted to first send the sickly young daughter of the Chancellor off in a bridal sedan chair, so he could then focus on his own marriage with peace of mind.
“Why doesn’t His Highness the Crown Prince simply marry the Chancellor’s daughter?”
“Hah! With a body as frail as hers, she could die at any moment. His Highness has always put the greater good first. How could he let a woman like that become Crown Princess?”
The Chancellor compiled a list of every eligible young man in Changjing for Ruan Qingying to consider…
“What kind of husband does my sweetheart want someday?”
Ruan Qingying never let her guard down around Xie Chen. Resting her chin in her hands, she tilted her little head. “A refined gentleman, gentle and courteous.”
The man’s lips curved slightly. He was sure he had this in the bag.
But Ruan Qingying began to fret. From that day on, none of the men she met seemed to fit the words “gentle and courteous.”
After several more meetings, the young woman changed her mind.
“I think a slender, delicate young man would suit me better.”
From then on, for some reason, the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace kept falling ill and taking to his bed. His figure grew noticeably slimmer.
One day,
The young woman quietly told someone that she had fallen for a man.
Xie Chen still smiled as warmly as ever, but the curve of his lips stiffened a little. “But he isn’t the gentleman you described, sweetheart, and he isn’t exactly slender, either.”
The young girl scrunched up her face. “I thought it over carefully. Someone so proper would be too boring for me. I like…”
Her cheeks flushed, and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled. “Someone a little more exciting.”
Later,
During a palace banquet, the Crown Prince pinned Ruan Qingying in a corner against the wall behind a screen. He pressed her swollen, reddened lips firmly shut, his eyes gleaming with obsession.
“Is my sweetheart satisfied?”
Xie Chen had pretended for so long that he had even come to think of himself as a gentleman.
All because of something the little girl had said when she was young:
[My future husband has to be an upright gentleman, famous throughout Changjing.]
Note: The heroine is a slow-witted, gentle, foolish beauty who is often ill.
The hero seems like a refined gentleman, but is actually insanely possessive.

Below is the synopsis for the currently updating novel: The Foolish Beauty Regrets Her Divorce
Tang Zhirao decides to divorce her husband.
She married Jiang Ji for three years at her parents’ insistence, but saw him only once, on their wedding night.
Because of his refined, otherworldly face, she waited for him for three years.
The storybooks say:
[A good match can be cherished, but a bad one should be ended. A marriage contract cannot bind a woman’s spirit.]
She and Jiang Ji are a bad match, and she has evidence to prove it.
First, he refuses to share a bed with her.
Second, he gives her no money to spend.
Third, he never sends her letters from home.
Doesn’t that mean he doesn’t love her?
So what if he’s handsome? She’s going to seek her own happiness.
And so, she sent a divorce agreement to Yuzhou.
What she received was a letter of release from her husband.
…
Jiang Ji returned from Yuzhou after solving a major case. The emperor was delighted and promoted him over the usual channels from Investigating Censor to Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. In an instant, Jiang Ji became one of the most influential figures at court.
Jiang Ji had been promoted, but Tang Qingluo’s father had gotten into trouble. He had backed the wrong prince, and now the whole family was in danger.
“Aluo, if you can’t win Jiang Ji back, you’d better prepare to collect your father’s corpse!”
Jiang Ji ran into his ex-wife, whom he had divorced, at a teahouse.
He heard she had fallen off a horse outside the city and injured her head?
She deliberately dropped her handkerchief for him.
She deliberately stumbled toward him.
She even wanted to ride in his carriage…
Was she… trying to seduce him?
“Does Lord Jiang have someone he likes?”
“Yes.”
Tang Zhirao was struck like lightning, tears welling in her eyes: “!”
“But she once said she didn’t like me.”
Tang Zhirao’s eyes lit up: “(☆ω☆)~”
Jiang Ji narrowed his eyes, still unsure.
Did she like him again?
*
In private, Tang Zhirao angrily bit her handkerchief. She was no longer the useless Tang Aluo she used to be. To save her whole family, she had to become a cunning, irresistible woman.
She had to pretend to have amnesia and use every means necessary to lure Jiang Ji back!
Theme: Happiness is right by your side
It's a bit boring, the more you write, the more wordy you write. You don't have to keep having a crush on a boy who has a crush on a girl, and then make the heroine so silly and sweet, and the heroine is not in good health. At the beginning, the heroine knows it and is very restrained. Later, she eats Susu Mountain or something. He no longer has the consciousness of his own body. It is impossible for a person who has been sick and weak for a long time not to care about his own body. And seeing that now, the heroine gets sick at every turn, and she has to take care of herself. Is it necessary? Moreover, many things have been told upside down over and over again. The heroine felt that what she likes is that others can say that she has not yet figured it out, but a most beautiful woman should not be insensitive to others liking her or saying that she likes her beauty. In this chapter, "they" did not say that they don't like her. It is even more unbelievable that the male protagonist agrees to the female protagonist dressing up as the maid of the first-in-law, and the female protagonist is written like this. It can be said that she does not understand when she proposes to play the role of personal maid and is misunderstood as the maid of the first-in-law. It can also be said that she does not understand as well as the previous article, which can be regarded as a reluctant explanation (why do I say reluctantly, A daughter of a prime minister, no matter how pampered or ignorant of the world, should not be so insensitive to such interpersonal aspects or reputation. A daughter of a wealthy family is still a daughter of a wealthy family who has been taught by a master. The teacher said that the heroine is not stupid but just slow. I thought so at first, but as I go on, After reading it, I felt more and more that the teacher wrote about it, changing the female protagonist from slow to stupid) The female protagonist proposed it, and the male protagonist agreed, and did do some things that were easily misunderstood in front of others. As a thoughtful prince, he didn't care what happened to the female protagonist's reputation. Isn't it like this? I have never thought about what people will say behind the back of the heroine who only has the identity of a maidservant. The two guards left to her can only protect her but cannot interfere with her decision. If someone comes close to someone with intentions, even if the person with the identity has been vaccinated, the heroine also has her own judgment. The male protagonist has a long mouth in front of him, and the more he writes, the more interesting it becomes. Let the female protagonist think whether he understands it or not. The female protagonist will get angry when she gets distracted, and she will get angry and frustrated at the same time. Is that interesting?
The longest road the heroine's baby has traveled is the male protagonist's routine
[Dog Head] The prince really has no face at all.
This one is so cute! The world's cutest natural glutinous rice balls with black heart
I feel like Xie Chen is just a standard scheming boy, so he has been guiding my sister step by step into the trap [Spread Flowers][Orange Candy].
We Zhuo Zhuo are so cute [laughing] It's really great [crying] Angels are coming [spreading flowers]
The eldest brother and the princess are still good-looking [dog heads], so there is no need to be restrained, the normal length will be fine. What we don't like to read is the kind of sub-CP that is long and poorly written. I think that the deputy CP of the eldest brother is quite tense, and it doesn't occupy much. [Cai dog]
"At this moment, Lu Zhaoshan..." This is a big bug for the author~
Pu Xu's long follow-up
So? The prince's first time was very fast? Don't you feel it, sister? [Smirk] [cover your face and peek]
Looking forward to the vigorous next chapter [Yellow Heart]
