Marrying the Sickly, Disgraced Crown Prince

Liu Yingying was once the cherished jewel of the Yan Marquis's household, and the most renowned beauty under heaven, with a slender waist and graceful, delicate bearing.

Then, one day, a coup sent her tumbling from the clouds into the mud. Everyone wanted to lay hands on this enchanting flower, once so far beyond their reach.

To protect herself, she agreed to the current empress's demand and married the former crown prince. It was a marriage in name, but in reality, she was there to keep him under surveillance.

The former crown prince, Liang Yi, had once been a favorite of heaven, praised as the ideal choice to become the next wise ruler.

Unfortunately, after a succession of political upheavals, this favored son of heaven developed a madness and became someone everyone despised and avoided.

Everyone steered clear of him. But one day, when he opened the door, a peerlessly lovely woman stood gracefully before him. She smiled gently and said, "Your Highness, from now on, I am your wife."

From that moment on, he knew he had fallen.

"Why did you marry me?"

Liang Yi could never believe anyone would jump into the pit that was his life. He was more suspicious than moved, yet the lovely woman before him treated him with wholehearted kindness and always met his gaze, earnest and resolute. "Because I want to live."

So he took her hand, his manner tender and indulgent. "All right. We'll face it together."

Later, he wielded his sword drenched in blood, walking over piles of bones and into the halls of power, all so he could cherish her as the one and only woman in the world.
