The Crown Prince's Daughter

[Advance notice: The Amnesiac Princess Royal Who Loves to Make a Scene is open for preorders. Feel free to add it! The blurb is at the very end!]

I. Xiao Shen'ai, Commandery Princess of Qinghe, has been doted on since childhood. She is willful, capricious, and utterly lawless.

She is gorgeous and alluring, with features like a painting. A frown or a smile from her can steal the soul.

Qi Han, Marquis of Pingliang and a celebrated war hero, is the first to bow and scrape at the commandery princess's side.

He does whatever she says, without hesitation.

His everyday refrain is an apology to her: “I'm sorry. I was wrong. It's all my fault.”

II. In time, Qi Han rises to the highest ranks of the court and takes sole control of the government, becoming a regent in all but name.

Everyone says that Xiao Shen'ai, a pampered flower of wealth, is doomed to misfortune. With her spoiled temperament, they fear she won't come to a good end.

Then, one snowy day in Chang'an, at a plum-blossom viewing banquet, a magnificently dressed beauty furrows her brow. “My skirt is dirty.”

She's still so demanding at a time like this? Everyone tenses, waiting for the man to lose his temper.

Instead, the dignified and stern Grand Commandant Qi bends down, brushes an almost imperceptible speck of dirt from his wife's hem, and gently coaxes her. “It's clean now, so it's not dirty anymore.”

Only Qi Han knows that

when the little girl looked up at him in the Eastern Palace and softly called him “big brother,”

that alone was enough to stay in his thoughts for a lifetime.

He also remembers the day the young girl cried in front of him, asking whether Shen'ai had been abandoned by everyone.

His heart nearly broke. He drew her into his arms and gently told her again and again, “There, there. I'm here.”

#She's so wonderful, he'd give her his very life#

#She will always be his moonlight and cinnabar mole#

[Reading Guide] 1. Both leads are virgins.

2. The female lead is very spoiled and demanding.

3. The male lead does everything of his own free will. I didn't force him.

Here's a blurb for a book available for preorder: The Amnesiac Princess Royal Who Loves to Make a Scene

Blurb: Princess Royal Yongjia is Emperor Qian'an's most beloved younger sister. She has a face as lovely as jade and a soft voice that can make anyone's ears melt.

Taking advantage of her status and beauty, the princess royal has one lover after another.

Yet this princess royal, despite her countless lovers, just can't get along with Gu Jinghe, the youngest Grand Secretary in the court.

Grand Secretary Gu, for his part, has nothing but disdain for the princess royal's behavior.

Then one day, the princess royal falls from a rockery and loses her memory, mistaking Grand Secretary Gu for the new young man she's set her sights on.

She spends her days visiting the Grand Secretariat, fussing over him and showering him with attention.

Everyone in court knows that the devastatingly handsome and decisive Grand Secretary Gu has never had a woman by his side.

Rumor has it a woman hurt him when he was young, leaving him with a heart of ice.

Everyone watches and assumes the princess royal is finally going to get what she deserves.

Sure enough, Grand Secretary Gu's face is always dark.

He refuses the princess royal's pastries with a dark expression,

tells the princess royal to stop fooling around with a dark expression,

and helps the princess royal down from her horse with a dark expression...?

At last, a bit of gossip comes to light: the woman who once dumped Grand Secretary Gu was none other than Princess Royal Yongjia.

Later, Song Zhaoyu regains her memories. Looking at everything she's done over the past few days, she wants the ground to swallow her up.

But as soon as she turns to leave, Gu Jinghe grabs her wrist and backs her step by step into a corner. “Your Highness, are you planning to toy with me a second time?”

Remembering how she had coldly abandoned him and walked away when they were young,

Gu Jinghe feels as if his heart is being torn apart.

He knows full well what she's like, yet he can't help falling for her all over again.
