The True Princess, Shattered Like Pearl and Jade VS the False Crown Prince, Plotting at Every Turn
Chen Lingwan never imagined that after the Golden Palace fell and flames spread across the jade towers, anyone in this world would still know her by another name: Xiao Yuhua.
Even less could she have imagined that the boy who gave her a chance to live back then and the crown prince who years later was betrothed to her at a palace banquet were one and the same.
As a boy, Xiao Chengxu had watched his father seize power and usurp the throne with his own eyes. After being forced to kill his cousins, he understood that only by claiming that seat could he escape sleepless nights, constant fear, and endless unease.
Eight years as crown prince had made him a master of schemes, always planning several steps ahead. Yet when that naive girl from years ago stumbled into his game, he lost his composure.
But all of it turned to dust with the dying words of Attendant Cui. Half a lifetime of scheming had been for nothing.
Theme: Always strive to improve.
