A Guide to Raising the Disfavored Princess

When they were young, Wei Zhuo was always followed by a little princess with a sweet, soft voice. She was pampered, clingy, and affectionate. Wei Zhuo's attitude: The princess is spoiled. I can't handle her. I'll ignore her, and I absolutely won't marry her. So the little princess tossed him an imperial decree: The Princess Dumps You First. ~ Later, the prince's residence took in a little girl who claimed to have lost her memory. She was lively and delicate. The girl's attitude: Wei Zhuo is a demon, cold-blooded and merciless. I'll avoid him if I can, and never give in. So Wei Zhuo tossed her a book: How to Use Your Charms on Wei Zhuo. ~ Later still, the girl disappeared. They searched every inch of the capital, but couldn't find her. Some said that the Ninth Princess in the Cold Palace looked remarkably like the person dearest to His Highness, and was about to be sent south for a political marriage. So Wei Zhuo fought his way back to the imperial palace, seized the throne, became the new emperor, and snatched his bride. From that day on, the once-neglected Ninth Princess became the little palace maid most favored by the emperor. According to the palace attendants, the new emperor, who usually wore a cold expression, loved nothing more than carrying Miss Ruanruan out in front of the palace to bask in the sun, while softly coaxing her with the imperial phoenix seal in hand: "You keep trying to run off to some remote corner. Is the affection I give you not enough?" The hint was unmistakable. He was practically about to stuff the phoenix seal into her arms. The girl was timid, but she didn't seem moved at all. Wei Zhuo looked coldly at the ungrateful little thing. After thinking it over, he decided the best thing to do was still to cherish her with all his heart, cradle her in his hands, and give her the greatest love in the world. He had been ruthless and domineering all his life, but every bit of tenderness and every shameless trick he had was now devoted to the sweet, delicate darling in his arms. 1. One man, one woman, both each other's first and only. A sweet romance, no harem. 2. Ruanruan is first stranded at the prince's residence, then returns to the palace. ~, ~ Coming soon: Childhood Sweethearts' Pact (Rebirth) Gu Yining is the beloved jewel of the current Chancellor, beautiful and graceful, with an enchanting presence. In her youth, she gave her heart to the wrong man. She rejected Lu Jing, her childhood sweetheart, and instead fell for the young Marquis of the Lin family. To marry the man she loved, she broke off all ties with Lu Jing and spent her days weeping, growing thin. Her father loved her dearly, so naturally he agreed to the marriage. Later, her scumbag husband and stepsister conspired against the entire Chancellor's residence. Her father was thrown into prison, and she was trapped in a sea of flames. The man who braved the fire and risked his life to rescue her was none other than the Prince Regent, now revered by all, whom she had once cast aside. After narrowly escaping the fire, Lu Jing treated her coldly, but still insisted on welcoming the woman everyone called a discarded wife into his home in a grand procession with eight palanquins. She became the Prince Regent's consort, and for more than a decade, he doted on her without end, spoiling her until she grew even more delicate. Gu Yining often felt she owed Lu Jing. One rainy night, she returned to her youth. At the time, she had just cut ties with Lu Jing and declared that they would never speak again for the rest of their lives. The scene had been so dramatic that, as the story went, everyone in the capital had heard about it. Lu Jing was always the one who comforted her. She had no idea how to comfort someone else, so she steeled herself and delivered an engagement invitation, hoping she could see him. Fury surged in the man's eyes. His face turned livid as he threw the invitation aside and snapped, "Aren't you afraid I'll wreck the whole engagement banquet?" Gu Yining's face lit up when she heard that. "That would be even better." The man took it as a provocation, and his expression darkened further. Gu Yining trembled. Her way of comforting people... wasn't quite right, was it? Theme:
