The Hypocritical Crown Prince

A new guard has joined the Wen household. He is handsome and very considerate.

He offers her advice,

covers up her mistakes,

and even gets injured time and again while saving her.

Wen Shu grows increasingly trusting and dependent on him, even coming to believe that, aside from her family, he is the person who treats her best in the world.

Until she discovers his secret

and accidentally gives away her whereabouts in her panic.

At night, his hand caresses her neck. "Do you want to live?"

Wen Shu certainly wants to live,

but she does not want to be a bird in this man's cage.

While he is away, she secretly agrees to a marriage.

On her wedding night, the groom covers her eyes with a red veil.

The next day, when she looks at the face so close to hers, she is stunned...

After all her careful scheming, she still could not outscheme him.

Later, he strokes her eyes and proposes, "Give me your true heart, and I will make you The Outcast, second only to one and above all others. What do you say?"

Her eyes brim with emotion. "Your Highness treats me so well."

But once she turns away, her smile vanishes, and her expression turns cold.

He is a man who wears a mask all year round. How could she trust him?

Yu Zhong made every effort to scheme his way to power, only to be betrayed by a trusted subordinate.

After an assassination attempt, he hides among the common folk, plotting everything from the shadows.

Then, amid the crowd, he catches a fleeting glimpse of a woman.

Everyone says, "The Crown Prince is truly a man of deep feeling and honor, with the people always in his heart."

Yet the real Yu Zhong will stop at nothing to seize supreme power.

He has never given anyone the slightest bit of his true heart, only a mind full of schemes and calculations, and the art of controlling others.

He feigns gentleness and propriety, yet meets the softest-hearted woman in the world.

He opens the abyss within him to her, hoping to trap her inside it,

only to discover that this softest-hearted woman actually has the hardest heart in the world.

P.S. The male lead is Yu Cong, using the alias Yu Zhong.
