The Liang Dynasty is no more. Everyone says it fell because of the ninth princess, Gui Sheng. Tales of her peerless beauty spread across the land, and the new emperor flew into a rage for the sake of a beauty.
The new emperor, Chi Wen, rides in on horseback. Gui Sheng stands in Lingyan Pavilion in her finest dress, looking at him with her alluring eyes. She knows she has the most captivating face in the world and the most seductive figure. These are her only weapons.
Chi Wen keeps her in his harem without a moment's hesitation.
As soon as she enters the palace, the emperor stops seeing the censor's memorials. When Gui Sheng hears, she smiles faintly, full of disdain. He is the new dynasty's emperor, revered by all. She is a princess of the old kingdom, despised by everyone. So what?
Within the deep palace, behind its red walls, he still lays the world's most precious treasures before her, all because he wants to see her smile.
In her previous life, Gui Sheng was constantly anxious in the Zichen Palace because of her identity. Even when Chi Wen entered Gui Xiang Hall, she could not bring herself to smile. In less than half a year, she had died young. After her death, she discovered that the historians had condemned her with every word, and she was still remembered as the enchantress who had thrown the court into chaos.
When she returns, she opens her eyes to find the new emperor breaching the city. Gui Sheng smiles. Since everyone calls her a bewitching temptress who ensnares the emperor, she might as well live up to the reputation.
Coming Soon: Locked-Up Oriole
Back when the coup took place, the Crown Prince, Chu Xiu, was taken home by General Zheng, who raised him as his own son for more than ten years.
After the emperor recognizes him, the old emperor keeps him by his side and carefully tutors him, waiting for him to inherit the throne. Several months later, when he sees little Zheng Zheng come to the palace with her mother for a visit, he realizes the little girl who used to follow him around has suddenly grown into a young woman.
Her features are delicate and distinct, and she's lovelier than any painted portrait. Chu Xiu suddenly feels his heart skip a beat.
Unfortunately, the young girl is too innocent to understand. She calls him "Crown Prince Brother" in a bright, sweet voice, and it makes Chu Xiu ache with jealousy.
When the Eastern Palace holds a selection for a consort, Zheng Zheng flees in the middle of the night. Before she can even catch her breath at the city gate, a hand clamps around her wrist. "Do you really not want to be the Crown Princess, little sister?"
Too shocked to answer, she turns around. Chu Xiu smiles at her and says, "Even if you don't want to, you have no choice. You will be the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace."
The leads are fake siblings at first. While they're siblings, their feelings are purely familial.
