Xie Wei comes from a second-rate family of imperial relatives, but she's useless as mud that won't stick to a wall. Her family, however, has high hopes for her and wants her to become a towering tree.
After looking over the royal heirs, Xie Wei decides she's not worthy of any of them.
The Crown Prince looks at her and sneers, "You're the one who thinks the royal family isn't good enough for you."
Xie Wei lowers her head. "I wouldn't dare."
Somehow, she still ends up being carried into the Eastern Palace. In the end, even mud gets pushed up against the wall.
She considers the Crown Prince a partner, but he considers her his wife.
Xie Wei feels under a lot of pressure.
An ancient-style romance in progress. The blurb may change as the story develops. I'm reserving the spot for now, and the characters and premise may change by the end. If that bothers you, please don't add it to your collection.
Theme: Those who understand the times are wise.
