The Eastern Palace's Favor

My next book is With My Elder Sister. Please add it to your favorites!

"Thanks for supporting the official release"

It is said that Princess Feng Youning of Chong is beautiful, kindhearted, and peerless in talent and looks. Yet she devotes herself to helping her younger brother govern the country and has no interest in marriage.

Just as Chong and Cheng are at war, Chong suffers a crushing defeat. The Emperor of Cheng seizes the opportunity to drop increasingly unsubtle hints: If the princess comes here to marry my son, the war can end!

With the resolve to serve her country and its people, the princess enters the Eastern Palace of her enemy in a red bridal sedan.

Feng Youning: One sacrifice from me, happiness for the whole country.

But how did this sacrifice end up feeling a little sweet?

The Crown Prince of Cheng, Qi Xinglan, has never been interested in women. When he first hears about the political marriage, he refuses.

Qi Xinglan: Women are such a hassle. I'm not getting married. If someone has to marry her, Father can do it himself. One more woman in his harem won't make a difference.

The old emperor: Are you trying to anger me to death so you can inherit my throne?

Qi Xinglan: (I'm upset, but I'm not saying it.)

But as the saying goes, men always end up eating their words. No one escapes it.

Before the wedding,

Qi Xinglan: I won't marry you.

Feng Youning: All right, Your Highness.

Qi Xinglan: … (Why does this feel familiar?)

After the wedding,

Qi Xinglan: Ning'er? Where did Ning'er go?

Feng Youning: Your Highness, I'm right here.

Qi Xinglan: Come here and let me hold you.

After that one embrace, the Crown Prince never let go again.

Blurb for With My Elder Sister ↓

Ji He inherited her mother's beautiful looks and is the eldest daughter of Prince Zheng. In everyone's eyes, she is a lofty beauty, impossible to approach.

But no one knows that she has been mistreated by her stepmother at home for over a decade. The only person who has ever been kind to her is her younger brother, the heir to the title.

Everyone knows that Ji Shu, the young heir of Prince Zheng's household, is dignified and gentle as a fresh breeze and bright moon. He is the very model of a noble young gentleman, always proper and respectful.

Ji He once regarded him as her only comfort, until Ji Shu used the life of her mother as leverage to propose an outrageous bargain.

"I want my elder sister. I want only my elder sister."

Her mother is her only family, so Ji He has no choice but to agree.

But Ji Shu grows more and more out of control. He deceives and threatens her, ruins her engagement, and takes over her entire life!

One night, on a desolate road swept by a cold wind, a pair of familiar long boots stopped before Ji He as she fled in a wretched state.

He draped his cloak over her thin, trembling shoulders, then gripped her chin with his long fingers. "Elder sister, I told you those people don't truly care for you or love you. Only I can make you happy…"

"Why don't you believe me?"

Later, in a villa on the estate, Ji Shu took her hand and pressed it against the wound she had stabbed into him.

Blood soaked through the bandages. Its burning warmth hurt Ji He's hand, yet he smiled with satisfaction.

"You didn't stab me deeply enough, so I added another wound myself."

"Now… can you stop leaving me, elder sister?"

Theme: Keep a positive attitude toward life, and every difficulty will be overcome.
