The Young Master Made Me Cry Again

Ever since that tall, handsome young man entered Huiguang Academy, Li Qinghua's eyes had been red and swollen nonstop. She had no idea how many times he had made her suffer, or how many times she had carried her slashed schoolbag back home.

Furious, Li Qinghua simply left the private academy. With the help of a powerful patron, she enrolled directly in the Imperial Academy beside the palace's Imperial Study.

On her first day, Li Qinghua hugged the silk schoolbag she had embroidered herself with hibiscus patterns, feeling as happy as a flower in a painting. That jerk who cut schoolbag straps can't get into the palace!

However, the moment she pushed open the door, her good mood vanished.

???

Why did the teacher at the Imperial Academy look so familiar...

As a boy, Lin Lanxi had seen Consort Li's power to beguile the nation time and again. He therefore assumed Li Qinghua was another one of the Li family's methods for consolidating power, sent to his side for that very purpose.

So she was beautiful, sweet, and sensible, with not a single flaw.

That was why he disliked her at every turn and bullied her constantly, turning the gentle girl Li Qinghua into a little crybaby.

Until one day, Li Qinghua suddenly stopped coming to the academy.

Only then did he understand that she had never been interested in him at all.

He was the one who had kept pestering her.

As if that weren't bad enough, a little eunuch rubbed salt in the wound by reporting the news he had found out.

“I hear Miss Qinghua came to Huiguang Academy for her cousin.”

The crown prince seemed composed, his face expressionless.

“I hear Miss Qinghua went to the Imperial Academy for her cousin, too.”

The crown prince clenched his teeth in secret and, for no apparent reason, snapped the jade-handled brush in his hand.

The little eunuch didn't dare say another word.

Then he heard the crown prince say with a faint smile, “I hear the Imperial Academy is short one music teacher?”

The little eunuch thought the crown prince meant to follow her into the palace and keep bullying her.

But this time, the ever-proud and haughty crown prince lowered his head, murmured Li Qinghua's name in a husky, bewitching voice, then called her over and guided her hands as he taught her to play the qin.
