The Crown Prince's Consort's Pampered Days

Qin Chuzhu broke out of prison to save her father, and schemed against Liu Xuan, the Duke's heir. Liu Xuan was strikingly handsome, accomplished in both letters and arms, yet perversely cruel and ruthless. No one dared cross him.

Everyone in the capital thought Qin Chuzhu was doomed after provoking Liu Xuan. Instead, she not only stayed alive, but dared to sell his medicinal herbs, dismiss his men, and shatter his peace and quiet. She was utterly outrageous.

The people of the capital: Where did she get the nerve and the ability to do all this?

The heir laughed softly: I taught her the skills, and I gave her the nerve. Any objections?

Everyone trembled.

The heir took a young woman as his disciple. Though they never met in person, they sent letters by carrier pigeon all the time. When his disciple complained of being in trouble, he sympathized with her and helped her come up with plans. As time went on, he realized something was off. Why did all the tricks he taught his disciple end up being used against him?

Later, the heir cornered his disciple in a corner of the great hall and proposed. "Once we're married, I can keep teaching you to be utterly unruly and let you do whatever you please. Will you say yes?"

The heir promised someone he would take no lives for three years and spend the rest of his life in seclusion at a Taoist temple. He never expected a woman would inspire such tenderness in him that he would break his promise again and again, returning to court just to give the one dearest to his heart a love like no other.

This story is also known as Teaching My Disciple to Win Me Over. Entirely fictional setting.

A protective, doting, jealous heir VS a beautiful woman who is composed but mischievous.

Currently serializing: After the Emperor Fell in Love with Me at First Sight

Forced possession | Older woman and younger man | The female lead is not a virgin, the male lead is | He pursues his wife after marriage in the later part

Emperor Pei Chengjue was young and knew nothing of love.

One day, he met Qiao Tang outside the palace. Qiao Tang was as lovely as a hibiscus, smiling sweetly. For a moment, he lost himself and summoned her to the palace. "I only want to talk with you, Sister."

Qiao Tang: "..."

So shameless, making a forced summons sound so innocent.

*

Qiao Tang had no feelings for the emperor, but he kept her in the palace against her will.

When the empress dowager learned she had been married before, she disapproved. She promised that once Pei Chengjue understood love and grew tired of Qiao Tang, she would let her leave the palace.

To leave as soon as possible, Qiao Tang spent every night teaching Pei Chengjue about love. He experienced every facet of passion, and his love was ardent and sincere. "I love you, Sister. Do you love me?"

Qiao Tang coaxed him. "I do."

Two years passed, but Pei Chengjue was still obsessed with her and kept demanding her affection. She panicked. Wasn't he supposed to get tired of her?

Then one day, Pei Chengjue heard Qiao Tang speaking outside the window. "Once His Majesty chooses a consort, I'll leave the palace. Perhaps then I can reconsider you, my former husband."

A man's voice murmured tenderly, "So it seems Tangtang truly has no feelings for His Majesty."

"If His Majesty hadn't made me come to the palace..."

Pei Chengjue's eyes turned bloodshot. For the first time in his life, he tasted the heart-rending pain of being deceived, along with hatred.

For several days afterward, Qiao Tang was confined to her palace.

Pei Chengjue's once ardent gaze was now cold and terrifying. "Since you've already used up everything your former husband taught you, it's time I taught you."

The fiercely possessive man was no longer an easy-to-placate boy. Qiao Tang swallowed the bitter fruit she had planted with her own hands and bit her lip without making a sound.

When the palace again discussed selecting consorts, Qiao Tang requested permission to leave.

Pei Chengjue's thin lips curled in scorn. "Do you think I would beg a woman who has grown tired of me to stay?"

On the day of the selection, people waited in the palace from morning until night, but Pei Chengjue never appeared. Instead, in a carriage fleeing the palace, he held Qiao Tang, dressed in an empress's robes, in his arms and gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. "Don't cry, Sister. From now on, I'll let you keep deceiving me. The more cruelly you deceive me, the more I will love you."

Coming soon: An Old Flame in My Heart

The husband-chasing crematorium

Spring, the second year of Jingming.

Someone glimpsed the emperor following a woman down the end of a long street. The woman had a graceful figure, a plain band of cloth covering her eyes, and a little boy by the hand. The boy was sweet and innocent. "Mother, this way." The two soon disappeared from sight, and the emperor stood frozen for a long time.

The news reached the empress. That night, she saw the emperor wearing an old, worn-out robe, looking weary and distracted in the candlelight. After thinking it over, she suggested, "If you cannot forget this old friend, why not bring her into the palace? If she objects, I will request permission to leave."

The emperor smiled. "She has remarried and has a child."

*

Asu came to the capital with her child and her husband. Her husband was in poor health, but fortunately a young man came to their aid. He and her husband became good friends, and he even helped Asu regain her sight.

The day before Asu was to see again, her husband smiled and said to the young man, "My wife is about to meet her benefactor."

Asu regained her sight. Strangely, the young man was nowhere to be found.

Her husband was puzzled and described the young man's appearance to her. Asu panicked and decided to leave the capital the very next day, only to find the emperor's carriage blocking the city gate.

Note: The emperor and empress entered a political marriage for their own purposes and never consummated it. The heroine's marriage to her husband is genuine.
