The Pear Blossoms Bloom Late in Spring

1. Fu Tangli was born into a distinguished family. She was known throughout Chang'an as a refined and virtuous young lady, and had been chosen as the future Crown Princess. But the Crown Prince had someone else in his heart and thought nothing of her. She didn't care, either. She went off to enjoy herself at a mountain villa, where she happened to meet a Daoist priest. The priest was peerlessly handsome, but cold and proud as someone from the heavens. On a whim, she flirted with him repeatedly. As time went by, she unexpectedly made the priest fall for her, and he intended to ask for her hand in marriage. Fu Tangli panicked, abandoned him, and fled in the middle of the night. Later, at a palace banquet, she was shocked to see the man she'd wronged. He was none other than the Crown Prince's uncle, King Huai, Zhao Shangjun. Zhao Shangjun commanded a powerful army and held sway over all the lands. He was a formidable man no one dared cross. Fu Tangli made up her mind: Deny it, deny it, and deny it even if she died. 2. King Huai seized the throne with an iron fist. The former Crown Prince was deposed, and everyone said his former Crown Princess was a doomed beauty who would never rise again. Fu Tangli was miserable, too. She lay in Zhao Shangjun's arms, crying until the tip of her nose turned red and her coiffed hair came loose. She looked utterly pitiful. Zhao Shangjun was perfectly content. He patiently comforted her: "What's so special about being Crown Princess? I made you Empress instead. Isn't that better?" # A seemingly proper Crown Princess x a cold and aloof imperial uncle, both virgins # The imperial uncle gets abandoned again and again today # Secretive at first, brazen later.

A voluptuous, breathtaking beauty VS a domineering, patriarchal dog of a man 1. Cui Lingwan is a distant cousin and guest of the Duke of Yan's family. Born to a lowly background and left destitute and helpless, she is nonetheless born breathtakingly beautiful, with a beauty that ensnares the soul. Her two cousins end up fighting over her, throwing the household into chaos. The old madam can't help complaining to her eldest son, the head of the family: "We shouldn't have taken her in. She'll be trouble sooner or later." The young Duke of Yan is a man of high standing who wields great power and has always been stern. At this, he says lightly, "No matter. We can just kill her." Yet when he returns to his room, Cui Lingwan is kneeling obediently on the bed, waiting for him. His gaze darkens. "What, seducing me once wasn't enough?" On a spring night, the young woman's skin is as white as snow and smooth as jade. A single pinch leaves a bloody mark. Tears fill her eyes as she begs desperately, "I won't do it again. Please, spare me." Her voice is so sweet and tender. But the Duke of Yan knows how cruel her heart is. His side still aches faintly, where she stabbed him. Since he survived, she will have to repay that debt. 2. Cui Lingwan doesn't think she did anything wrong. She's a helpless woman. If she didn't bend and endure, how could she clear her parents' names? Once her wish is fulfilled, of course she'll leave. As for the Duke of Yan wanting to keep her, that's his fault. If she dared to kill him once, she'll dare to do it again. Theme: Never give up hope, even when you're in adversity
