[Hypocrite Prince x Honest Minister's Wife]
(I)
Wangyue was the newlywed bride of the Xie family.
Three months into her marriage, rebels entered the city. As she fled with the others, she fell from the carriage.
Snow fell thick and fast. Dragging her broken leg, she collapsed in the snow, tears streaking her face.
Just when all hope seemed lost, a nobleman passing by rescued her.
When she awoke, she learned that her savior was the Crown Prince.
He told her that her husband was one of his subordinates, and that he would look after her for the time being.
Wangyue thanked him profusely, never suspecting a thing.
*
Three months after the Crown Prince rescued her, he personally brought her the news of her husband's "death."
Overcome with grief, Wangyue didn't want to impose on him any longer.
But as she quietly packed her things and prepared to leave, the Crown Prince stopped her with a smile:
"Didn't you say you wanted to repay me?"
*
The Crown Prince's smile was gentle, but Wangyue had the uneasy feeling that there was something wrong with the way he looked at her.
Only later did she come to bitterly regret discovering what kind of ruthless demon lurked beneath the polished exterior of the gentle, refined gentleman before her.
By then, she was already under house arrest in the Eastern Palace, with nowhere to run.
The day before the entire Xie family was exiled, torrential rain poured from the skies.
She knelt before the Eastern Palace, tears streaming down her face as she begged the Crown Prince to spare her husband.
The man above her remained calm, smiling as he cruelly replied:
"If you're going to kneel, do it on the bed."
"You want him to live?"
"Then get up here and beg me."
--- [Hero's POV] ---
Yuan Heng first met Wangyue at a mountain temple.
Through the curtain, she mistook him for her husband.
Then, one day, beneath warm hibiscus curtains, he saw those same tearful eyes in a dream.
He suddenly felt that a man like Xie Heng did not deserve a wife like her.
That night, the Crown Prince stayed awake until dawn, listening to the snow from beside the window.

[Arrogant dragon x Honest, married woman]
0. A proper, unrepentant forced romance! The male lead is a feudal patriarch and a hypocrite, and he behaves terribly at first.
Expect plenty of melodrama, a groveling chase, and rivals competing for the heroine's affection.
1. The male lead is a virgin; the female lead is not.
2. As Crown Prince, the male lead has had a verbal betrothal proposal, but it was never finalized. He is pure in both body and heart.
3. The heroine may seem delicate, but she isn't a pushover. At heart, she's resilient.
4. The romance begins after the heroine is divorced. No problematic messaging!
5. Set in an alternate Northern Dynasty with mixed influences.
Theme: Stay true to your original intentions.
