The Emperor's Grace

Rou'an is the general's adopted daughter.

The general grew old. As he lay on his deathbed, he entrusted Rou'an to his prized disciple, Prince Xin, Li Shaoxiu.

Li Shaoxiu was a god of death on the battlefield, ruthless in his methods, and wild and cold-hearted by nature.

Many people feared him. Rou'an did too.

The old general told Rou'an, "Stay by His Highness Prince Xin's side, and he'll keep you safe."

Helpless, Rou'an nodded in agreement. In the candlelight, her tearful eyes shimmered, and her bowed neck formed a soft, slender curve.

Li Shaoxiu treated Rou'an very well.

So well, in fact, that later, no one knew a dragon heir had been planted in Rou'an's belly.

Li Shaoxiu slowly stroked her neck, coaxing her in a low, commanding voice: "Give me a child."

Ming Yan is a concubine-born daughter of the Lu family. Though beautiful, she has always been timid and submissive.

The Lu family is a powerful clan. The principal wife is jealous, and Ming Yan's legitimate elder sister envies her beauty and corners her at every turn. Ming Yan watches her ailing mother weep on the bed.

With nowhere else to turn, she sets her sights on the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince is noble and refined, with impeccable character. His thoughts run deep, and no one dares provoke him. He is her elder sister's future husband.

That night, Ming Yan returns late, her black cloak bearing traces of incense.

The nanny says in distress, "My lady, why put yourself through this..."

Lu Ming Yan looks at her sick mother on the bed and thinks of her young brother. She shakes her head.

No one knows that the seemingly aloof and dignified Crown Prince most enjoys forcing her to cry.

Later, after taking her revenge, Ming Yan is overcome with guilt. To atone for her sins, she retreats to a temple to cultivate herself.

The Crown Prince follows close behind and grips Ming Yan by the chin. His voice is tender and lingering, but his anger is unmistakable.

"Yan'er, you used me and now you're just going to leave?"

The Crown Prince naturally sees through Ming Yan's intentions. Finding her amusing, he lets her clumsily try to seduce him.

He never expected that, as she used him again and again, he would be the one to lose his heart first.
