The Crown Prince's Underling

[Tyrant x Devoted Hound] Everyone says that although the current Crown Prince is the legitimate eldest son and handles affairs competently, he is cruel and ruthless, with none of the virtue of a wise ruler. The Crown Prince, however, doesn't care in the slightest. So what if you can't stand me? As long as I am Crown Prince, you are all still my ministers. · Song Yanchu has a dream. In it, she sees her own fate as an onlooker: frail and sickly, she dies young. The protagonist of the dream is Xiao Huai, the famed young general who guards the border. Watching her body grow weaker day by day after being poisoned, Song Yanchu lets out a dry laugh. There is no way she is going to die. What is meant to be hers, the realm itself, is hers, and no one can take it from her. · While recovering her health, Song Yanchu remains wary of Xiao Huai, who will one day become emperor. But one careless mistake, and someone tricks her into taking an aphrodisiac. With no other choice, she hurriedly finds a man. When she wakes again, Song Yanchu opens her eyes and sees... · Candlelight shimmers in the room. Song Yanchu, pale-faced, dries her damp black hair and says calmly, "What happened today was my fault." Xiao Huai, whose mind is clouded and who remembers nothing: ... "But what is done is done. I will take responsibility, so there is no need for the general to worry." Xiao Huai: ??? We're both men. Who are you trying to humiliate?! · At first, The Crown Prince has a terrible reputation, behaving outrageously and making no distinction between men and women. Xiao Huai can't stand her. Looking at the frail Crown Prince, whose features are more delicate than a woman's, he scoffs to himself. Could any young woman really want to marry a man even prettier than she is? Later, He breaks his own pride with his own hands, kneels humbly before the Crown Prince, and lifts her jade-like feet, his face full of infatuation. *She is his god, his faith.* *He would live or die for her, without hesitation.* P.S. 1. The male lead is steady and dependable around others, but in front of the female lead... his behavior is anyone's guess. Prepare for him to fall hard later, and for his identity to be exposed. 2.

After the Emperor and Empress are assassinated, danger lurks within and beyond the court. The once pampered Eldest Princess navigates one perilous step after another, supporting her young brother as they tread carefully through the palace. Who could have guessed that half a year after he ascends the throne, rebellion would break out in Longxi? The court officials all wait to see the young emperor and the Eldest Princess make fools of themselves, unaware that the Regent, once repeatedly humiliated by the Eldest Princess and now at the height of his power, has led the army away and will quell the rebellion months later. The candles in Xuanzheng Hall flicker, burning through the night without going out. The Eldest Princess looks at the victory report in her hands, her eyelids lowered, and remains silent for a long time. The Regent returns in triumph, and the Eldest Princess sits high in the grand hall to reward him for his service. She looks down at the strong-featured man in his military uniform, parts her red lips, and asks softly, "What reward does the Prince want?" The young and handsome Regent fixes his burning gaze on the noble, radiant Eldest Princess, his eyes full of ambition. "I want the Eldest Princess." P.S. 1.
