The Sickly Prince's Road to Ruin

[Complete]

Please add my upcoming story, Little Wife, to your reading list! The blurb is below~

Her father died in battle, and her older brother was bedridden with illness.

With no other choice, Xie Yiyi went to visit the Medicine King, who happened to be staying in the capital. She knelt for a full day and night before finally securing his promise to help.

At the cost of herself.

At first, she had even dreamed of spending her life with this gentle man.

Later, she learned the truth:

He was a prince from a neighboring kingdom. He had been treating wounded soldiers under the name of the Medicine King only to win people over.

Keeping her by his side would let him control the Xie family and use her as a test subject. Two birds with one stone.

Beneath his gentle exterior, his heart was cold as ice.

So she ran, leaving without a trace.

Mu Mingshao thought Xie Yiyi was no different from an ordinary pet. Once he got bored, he would simply throw her away.

But one day, as he stared at the empty bedroom, he realized:

He couldn't get bored of her at all. He had even become addicted to her.

At first

Mu Mingshao: My heart holds nothing but boundless power and an endless empire. I have no interest in women.

Later

Mu Mingshao held Xie Yiyi in his arms and murmured in a low voice: I won't fight for the crown prince's throne, and I don't want the neighboring kingdom's territory. Yiyi, won't you come back to me?

Blurb for the upcoming story, Little Wife:

Shen Yin stole her close friend's marriage prospects, broke up the famous couple everyone in town knew, and forced her way through the gates of the Prince of Zhenbei's residence.

After they married, no matter how Su Que humiliated her, she still soothed him with gentle words and patiently endured it all.

Everyone thought she was madly in love with Su Que.

Su Que thought so too.

He was certain that treating her so coldly was the perfect revenge for her little schemes.

Later, he realized that Shen Yin seemed to have married him only to hide from someone.

When he sent Shen Yin to that person's hands,

she cried out in utter despair, her pale little face drenched in tears.

No one thought Su Que would feel sorry for her.

But Su Que took her back.

For the rest of his life, he held the delicate young woman in his arms and cherished her.

*

In her previous life, the aloof and noble Crown Prince secretly plotted to destroy Shen Yin's family, then kept her imprisoned in the Eastern Palace, amusing himself with her day and night.

For the sake of her beloved family members, exiled far away, she didn't even dare to die.

Until someone came to save her.

That day, a hundred thousand soldiers stormed the gates of the imperial city. The Eastern Palace was no exception.

Out of regard for their past, Su Que allowed the Crown Prince to leave the imperial city and never return.

The Crown Prince agreed, with one condition: he would take Shen Yin with him.

Shen Yin refused, murmuring softly.

At that faint sound, Su Que pulled her to his side.

"Qingming, do you still think you're the Crown Prince?"

At the sound of his voice, Shen Yin raised her eyes. For the first time in five years, a ripple stirred in her lifeless gaze.

The scorching light at her side finally reached the dilapidated courtyard.

But she was no longer worthy of stepping into that light.

Six months after begging Su Que to bring her family back, Shen Yin finally succumbed.

*

She returned to seven years earlier, before any of it had happened.

Looking at the faint, youthful light before her,

Shen Yin wanted only to protect him with all her might.

Theme: Understand your own heart, cherish the one you love, and fight for yourself.
