The Crown Prince Has a Heart Condition Every Day

Among the secret guards the old general had trained for his grandson, Tang Yangyang was one of the less capable ones. Before entering the household, she'd already heard of the crown prince's fine reputation: a gentle, refined man, accomplished in virtue and propriety.

On her first day in the household, Tang Yangyang broke a glass cup and was punished by being made to sweep the courtyard all day.

On the second day, she broke a vase and was punished with three nights on guard duty.

On the third day, the fourth day...

After a string of mistakes, the head of the secret guards finally scolded her. "Yangyang, why are you being so unreasonable? His Highness is kind and treats the worthy with respect. He's already been merciful not to hold your mistakes against you... What? Are you going to say it's His Highness's fault?!"

Tang Yangyang: QAQ But His Highness was the one who broke those things.

At the viewing platform in the distance,

An attendant watched the child being scolded until her eyes filled with tears and couldn't help speaking up. "Your Highness, why do you keep giving Young Master Tang such a hard time?"

The crown prince sneered. "Because she dared to forget me."

Later,

The crown prince was demoted and made a commoner. After many rises and falls, he raised an army and became emperor. The Northern Chu dynasty changed hands.

Everyone witnessed the ruthless decisiveness and merciless cruelty behind this gentle, handsome ruler's public face.

And yet, after watching the emperor coldly snap a traitor's neck, they saw the same detached ruler calmly wipe the blood from his sword, lower his lashes, and look at someone who had wandered in by mistake. "Yangyang, my heart hurts."

Everyone: ...You're unbelievable!

A two-faced, ruthless, wild, top-tier manipulative tea-drinking crown prince

Please pre-save "The Son of Heaven's Mockery"

The daughter of the Qin family in Suzhou had skin like jade and a graceful figure. Her beauty was renowned far and wide, and countless people coveted her. Forced into marriage at fifteen, she was widowed the very day she married, when her husband suddenly fell ill and died.

The Su family spread rumors that she was a husband-killer with a seductive air, while the Qin family called her unfilial and wicked.

To make a living, Qin Qing, who had been driven out of the Qin family, latched onto the elegant young gentleman who had just moved in next door.

The young gentleman was graceful and striking. When his eyes accidentally met Qin Qing's, his fair, handsome face would turn bright red...

More importantly, while the young gentleman was around, no one dared cause trouble at Qin Qing's restaurant.

Then one day, after earning enough money, Qin Qing left Suzhou in the dead of night with her frail mother and young brother.

A young prince tired of court intrigue had disguised his identity and gone to Suzhou to clear his head.

He met the woman he fell for, only to have his heart awakened and then his body and soul stolen. After that, he could never find her again.

Years later, the young emperor ascended the throne.

He heard that a beautiful woman, like an immortal descended from heaven, had moved to Chang'an with her family and opened a little restaurant.

That night,

His attendants watched the capricious emperor smash a roomful of screens and vases, then, with a stern face, spend half the night choosing his clothes.

"..."

Qin Qing never expected to see him again.

Still less did she expect that the pure, easily flustered boy from their first meeting would have become the mighty, fearsome emperor.

He stared at her with a sinister, terrifying gaze. "Qingqing, such pretty legs. What a shame they can run away... Tell me, should I break them, or break them?"

Qin Qing: I'll do it myself... Can we not cut them off? I can tie them up, okay? Qaq
