First Note

Complete. Coming soon: Everyday Deceptions and Must Be Said

The Marquis of Weiping was tricked by a villain and killed in battle. With the emperor too foolish to protect the family, the Grand Princess gritted her teeth and registered her newborn daughter as a boy so she could inherit the heir's title and preserve the Marquis's estate.

Zhong Huazhen gets a second life and, as the heir, is selected to enter the palace as the Crown Prince's study companion.

The Crown Prince is two years older than her and likes how sensible she is. He especially loves taking her out to play.

Looking at the Crown Prince, who isn't even ten yet, Zhong Huazhen is speechless. She can hardly imagine that twenty years later he will be the iron-fisted ruler who unifies the Nine Provinces, ruthless in his methods and responsible for countless deaths.

Zhong Huazhen dislikes bloodshed, and the Grand Princess has no demands of her. She plans to earn some childhood-friend points with the future emperor and live a peaceful life in the capital.

But she grows more and more beautiful, and by the time she is fifteen, her figure has grown increasingly graceful as well.

To protect her identity, she deliberately falls out with the Crown Prince, claims to be ill, and keeps the doors of her residence shut from then on, no longer going out.

She never expected the Crown Prince to get himself drunk and shamelessly climb over her wall in the middle of the night to apologize.

He was so drunk that the next morning he couldn't remember what he'd done. All he knew was that he was sprawled on her bed in disheveled clothes, with painful welts on his back.

Zhong Huazhen really did seem to be in poor health. Wrapped in a cloak and pale-faced, she frowned at him and said, "Your Highness came to my room just to lay hands on my favorite maid?"

The Crown Prince sat up, his face flushing and paling by turns as he reluctantly apologized to her.

Zhong Huazhen took a step back and said cautiously, "She's my favorite maid. Even if something like this happened, please don't take what I cherish."

The Crown Prince said unconcernedly, "What's yours is mine. Why draw such a clear line?"

The first love letter Zhong Huazhen received came from an arrogant Crown Prince who hadn't grown up yet.

"Ming Yu"

A young general is rewarded with a princedom.

The prince falls in love with the empress.

On their wedding day, he stages a rebellion and declares himself emperor.

He forcibly takes the empress's virtue.

When Wen Mingyu, whom the Empress Dowager has verbally named as a likely future empress, hears this melodramatic plot, she turns in a daze to her sixteen-year-old general brother, who is still playing in the mud.

"Everyday Deceptions by the Gentle Heartthrob"

When Ling Zhan was thirteen, a Dragon Lady appeared, claiming they were destined to meet.

Her true form was a slender little dragon, but in human form she was a gorgeous beauty who put the cultivation world's number-one beauty to shame, with long legs, a generous bust, and a pretty face. She had the Dragon Clan's nature to the core.

Ling Zhan thought she had come to guide him in cultivation. Only later did he discover that the woman had come to take his primordial yang.
