Hou Jiayueling, the Chancellor's legitimate daughter, was born into a powerful family. Hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Dongqi Kingdom, she possessed incomparable beauty.
She was also a notorious spoiled young lady, fussy and extravagant, with money to burn.
In four words: Rich, and does whatever she wants!
As a result, no one dared to come forward and ask for her hand in marriage.
Because... no one could afford to keep her!
At eighteen, she became the old unmarried girl everyone gossiped about.
The Chancellor went to the palace to ask the emperor to arrange a marriage for his daughter. While the emperor was worrying over whom to choose, the usually irreverent Second Prince, Mu Chengyuan, volunteered, declaring that he was willing to take her as his consort.
On their wedding night, when the red veil was lifted, Hou Jiayueling stared at the man before her in shock. "Why is it you?!"
Mu Chengyuan wore a triumphant, scheming smile. He lifted her chin with one finger and laughed. "Why can't it be me? I told you... I'd marry you and make sure you spend the rest of your life alone, growing old in an empty room!"
That night, they tussled until dawn, chasing each other from the bed to the floor, neither willing to give in.
The next morning, the maids came in and saw the white wedding handkerchief stained red. They covered their mouths and giggled for ages, never realizing it was Mu Chengyuan's nosebleed.
Later...
"My lady, I gathered fresh lotus dew myself to make you tea."
"My lady, I grilled the koi from the garden pond to nourish you."
"My lady, can I sleep in your room tonight?"
"My lady, I want us to have a baby."
He knew nothing of love when they first met, but after marrying her, he doted on her without restraint.
