------------[Story Blurb]------------
In her younger years, Li Qinyang, the eldest princess of Yue, had terrible luck in love. Her betrothed was assassinated before their wedding, and she ended up marrying Xie Yanxing, a hostage prince sent by Liang. She became the laughingstock of the entire capital, Yingdu.
The two of them bickered every few days. Li Qinyang thought the man had been born just to make her angry, and yet…
Xie Yanxing was willing to suffer a public beating with the court staff for her, nearly losing his life.
For the sake of a single word from her, he spent half a day in the freezing snow just to catch an ordinary sparrow.
To stand up for her, he took first place at the spring hunt, humiliating every noble young lord there.
Li Qinyang thought that the hard times were over. She gave all her tenderness and affection to the prince consort who loved her so deeply, and they were a devoted couple, ready to spend their lives together.
But when civil unrest broke out in Yue, Xie Yanxing abandoned Li Qinyang and returned to Liang. Only then did she realize that every tender moment had been part of his carefully laid plans.
Her family was gone, her country was in chaos, and she had nearly died in the midst of this deception. Her heart went cold toward the Xie family.
Three years later, Xie Yanxing, the Prince Regent of Liang, came to Yue to ask for the hand of Princess Li Qinyang.
Li Qinyang: Uncle, do you know what kind of person I like?
Xie Yanxing: Someone good-looking.
Li Qinyang: Do you know what kind of person I hate, Uncle?
Xie Yanxing: …
Li Qinyang: Just go home and look in the mirror, and you'll understand.
Couple: A proud, pampered princess with a gentle heart x a scheming, jealous, hypocritical prince regent

1. The female lead isn't a virgin, but the male lead is. If that bothers you, don't read!
2. Older woman-younger man romance, old-school tastes, imperfect characters, and both leads have a complicated past.
3. The leads are each other's true love and save each other. The heroine suffers first, then the hero has to win her back, and they ultimately end up together.
------------[New Historical Romance: A Spring Dream Beneath the Crabapple Blossoms]------------
Yingshi was born to a merchant family. She was lovely and charming, but after her family fell on hard times, she was left an orphan.
Fortunately, her fiance Yin Xu saved her from the brink of death and took meticulous care of her, treating her with endless tenderness. She gave him her heart, hoping only to grow old by his side.
Yin Xu was the youngest head of the Yingdu Merchants' Guild. He was as radiant as the morning clouds and moonlight, cold and severe by nature, yet he treasured Yingshi and cared for her deeply, keeping her pampered at his home in Huai.
Knowing Yingshi loved crabapple blossoms, Yin Xu built a crabapple garden for her. From his estate in Huai to his residence in Yingdu, he indulged her in every way and considered her in everything.
Yin Xu: From now on, my wife will rule our household. She can set all the house rules.
Yingshi: Then... the first rule should be...
Her tender words drifted beside Yin Xu's ear. He held the woman he loved and murmured sweet nothings to her, though his heart had already melted the first time he laid eyes on her.
When the crabapple trees he had planted for her blossomed again, his beautiful wife leaned close and whispered in his ear: You always look at me like that, it's embarrassing. I may have to make another house rule for you.
Her orchid-scented breath brushed Yin Xu's ear. He adored this tender haven of love. "Just tell me, my wife. I'll listen."
He thought it was just playful pillow talk between husband and wife, but a sudden chill rose in him, reminding him of something:
Many years ago, in the dark, damp Yingdu prison, he had looked down at the disgraced former head of the Yingdu Merchants' Guild, eyes full of hatred and grim satisfaction, and said:
A life for a life.
Theme: Never bow your head in the face of hardship. You can get through anything
Yes, where did Chengyu go?
The heroine should not rely on men, she must strengthen herself!
I really wish that the heroine would accept all these male supporting characters. Why in some stories can the hero have concubines and not have one woman and multiple men? It's annoying.
Su Weidao, I can scold him every day. Don't let the little golden fan appear again, and don't look back to the heroine. He doesn't deserve a crematorium to pursue his wife. It feels disgusting to pester the heroine. There are also people like this who are prone to violence...
The writing style and writing are so great, please give it a try?
What a mess, the hero has been dealing with a maid for so long, what else can he do?
Your writing is very good, why are there so few people?
What's the heroine's mentality like? Can't understand
The heroine actually stayed a widow for the hero for three years. I was so disappointed. I thought the heroine and Cheng Yu had a relationship, but it turns out they didn't. The hero was too cheap.
I really like watching the male protagonist eat up, hahahahaha
