The Sickly Prince's Beloved

Prince Ning, Xiao Chuxuan, led troops into the northern frontier at fourteen. He made a name for himself in a single battle and became a celebrated god of war, renowned throughout the Great Zhou.

In her previous life, Shen Xinrong misunderstood him and refused his marriage proposal. By imperial decree, she entered the palace as a consort, only to die miserably in the Cold Palace.

After Shen Xinrong died, her spirit lingered. She saw Xiao Chuxuan turn gray-haired overnight, lead troops in a coup, kill everyone who had harmed her, and become a tyrant feared by all.

Yet this same cold and ruthless man would hold her Ruyi lock in his hands late at night and weep in grief.

Reborn, she returned to the moment when she had refused Xiao Chuxuan's proposal.

Later, Xiao Chuxuan cornered her against a wall, his voice hoarse. "Marry me. I'll protect you. Whoever bullies you, I'll destroy them!"

Shen Xinrong softly agreed.

From then on, Xiao Chuxuan protected and doted on her every step of the way, giving her the most exalted position in the land: empress!
