Little Sweetheart

(The landscape descriptions in this story were adapted from snow-scene sentences found on Baidu. I apologize for my mistake and sincerely regret having borrowed them. I have accepted the punishment. I'm sorry.) Everyone in the capital says Sui Miao is blessed. She was raised in the Empress Dowager's palace from a young age, enjoying food, clothing, and comforts on par with a princess. The noblewomen of the imperial city all envy her. The Third Prince, Yan Yi, is cold, ruthless, and sinister. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. After years of careful planning, he finally ascends the highest throne, where he has absolute power over life and death and the final say in everything. Others rush to curry favor with him, but Sui Miao only wants to stay far away. She never imagined that an imperial decree appointing her as his consort would land on her doorstep. As a child, Sui Miao was spoiled by the Empress Dowager and did many outrageous things, heedless of the consequences. One of them was bullying Yan Yi and stealing his favorite white jade flute. When the decree appointing her as his consort arrives, Sui Miao panics. Is he planning to take revenge, keeping her by his side day and night to torment her? Little scene: On the night the decree is issued, Sui Miao packs a small bundle and sneaks into a little carriage. With the token the Empress Dowager gave her, she makes it all the way to the South Palace Gate without a single obstacle. Beyond the palace lies a whole new world. But that night, torches at the South Palace Gate make the sky as bright as day. Yan Yi stands before the gate, impatient and grim-faced. He walks up to the little girl, who's been scared stiff, and says in a frigid voice, "You stole my jade flute and never returned it. Now you defy my decree and leave the palace without permission. Sui Miao, do you really think I'm that easygoing?" Little scene: Sui Miao has been spoiled since childhood. Yan Yi insists on making her his consort, and naturally he treats her well. But this woman finds one excuse after another to keep him out of her rooms, day and night. At last, one day, Yan Yi can't take it anymore and forces his way into her palace. Later, tears well in the little woman's eyes. Yan Yi's anger melts away, and he doesn't dare raise his voice. He can only coax her in a soft, pleading tone, sweet-talking and half persuading her until the spoiled darling finally makes a tiny bit of room for him. Pouting, she says, "There. No more than that." Yan Yi looks at the patch of space, not even big enough for him to put a foot down, and is nearly laughing with anger. 1. Blurb dated October 10 2.

She's beautiful, and many people come just to see her, so business is brisk. One day, Yan Cheng's carriage passes her cosmetics shop after court. He sees Xu Yuancheng, who used to follow him everywhere, blushing as she talks to a brave and handsome young general. He gives a cold snort, dismissive. The next day, Xu Yuancheng gives a sachet to the gentle and refined heir of the Duke of Ying's estate. The two look perfectly matched, exchanging tender, affectionate glances as if their eyes could spin silk. Yan Cheng smiles. The expensive porcelain cup in his hand shatters under his fingers, his face utterly expressionless. 1. Both are each other's only partner, in both their past and present lives 2.
