The Prince's Cherished One

[Complete] For a change of pace, my next novel will explore the lives of ordinary people in an ancient city: The Courtesan's Struggle. The business in a brothel is all flesh, and the affection inside it is all exploitation. Other than the madam, who rakes in a fortune, the courtesans are lucky if they live to see thirty. Nobody respects this trade, but Yu Niang was brought into it without a choice. If she wants to survive, and live with dignity, Yu Niang will have to fight with everything she's got! Wear your heart on your sleeve? Sorry, people in our line of work never do. Novel blurb: Lu Yao transmigrated into the body of a scrawny little palace maid who had sold herself into the palace. Pale, skinny, and as thin as a bean sprout, she wasn't even worth a second glance from the young eunuch guarding the palace gate. Who would have thought there was someone for every taste? This little sprout caught the Fifth Prince's eye. He begged to take her to his residence, then cherished her for the rest of their lives. Lu Yao was baffled, too. She had only shown half her face to the prince that day. Could His Highness have fallen in love with me at first sight? The Fifth Prince, Zhao Jing, had been frail and sickly since childhood. Dozens of imperial physicians were helpless, and all they could say was that he might not live to see twenty-five. He had thought his life would end just like that, but he never expected that repaying a debt of gratitude from a previous life would bind him to someone for the rest of his days. Looking at the tearful girl by his bedside, her face red from crying, Zhao Jing began to worry. If he left this world, how would his darling survive? Maybe he should struggle a little longer? Fake sickly, actually scheming x fake obedient, actually lively When a reborn person meets someone who has transmigrated, it turns out I fell in love with you long ago. P.S. A sweet story with no heartbreak, both leads have only loved each other, and it's a lighthearted little treat. Updates are tentatively scheduled for midnight or early morning. I'll give notice if anything comes up. Theme: Justice will triumph over evil, and holding fast to kindness leads to a happy ending
