The Crown Princess Is Ill

Shen Xinyi, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Chang'en, was infatuated with the Crown Prince, but he turned her away time and time again. Later, the Emperor issued an edict betrothing Shen Xinyi to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince flung his sleeves and flew into a rage. On their wedding day, Shen Xinyi suffered a blow to the head and became convinced that she had a beloved who looked just like the Crown Prince, and that the Crown Prince was merely a substitute she had found for him. Their married life: "Hmph, men. Don't think I'll ever fall in love with you. You're nothing but a substitute!" "A substitute should act like one. Know your place!" "No one has ever dared to reject me. Do you want to be the first?" Crown Prince: Get the hell away from me! A recommendation for my new novel, One Thing Brings Another Lu Xingliu is the only son of the prominent Lu family, one of the capital's top elite households. With striking, delicate features, he looks as if he stepped out of a misty landscape painting. Cool and aloof by nature, he has rules and discipline etched into his bones. He is an odd one out in the extravagant world of the wealthy elite. Ever since entering military academy, he has held himself to even stricter standards. Others fear offending him, and even speaking to him leaves them trembling as they carefully weigh every word. A slightly raised voice is enough to make them break into a cold sweat. Chi Jiabao is the only daughter of a nouveau riche country family. Spoiled rotten since childhood, she is a domineering menace who does whatever she pleases. Her catchphrase is, "Do you know who my dad is?" The two would never normally cross paths. Until one day, at a friend's request, Lu Xingliu becomes an instructor on a show meant to reform spoiled rich brats. His ruthless, iron-fisted methods leave the whole bunch wailing for their parents and fearing him like the plague. Chi Jiabao has just arrived. Three gold chains hang around her neck, eight gold rings adorn her fingers, and a counterfeit LV bag she was conned into buying is slung over her waist. The first time she sees Lu Xingliu, she tosses down a bank card and declares arrogantly, "Hey, handsome. Two hundred thousand. I'll have you for a month." "Very good. No one's ever rejected me before. Do you know who my dad is?" Lu Xingliu: "...Get lost." At first sight, Chi Jiabao is so captivated by Lu Xingliu's beauty that her heart itches. She brags to her troublemaking friends that she'll definitely win over the Iceberg Beauty within a month. As the saying goes, a flower on a high peak is for admiring from afar, not up close. Chi Jiabao didn't just get close enough to admire him, she plucked him and had her way with him. She just never expected that one fling would lead to such trouble. Chi Jiabao: Oh no, I need to run.
