The Crown Prince’s Beloved, Reborn

--The story is complete--

[Please add my ongoing novel, Spoiled After Marriage, to your reading list]

Ever since the current emperor ascended the throne, every noblewoman in the capital has envied Xie Qinghan. She is not only the daughter of the Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, but is also betrothed to a prince famed as a God of War.

Before the truth came to light, even Xie Qinghan thought so herself.

Only after the Grand Tutor's residence was destroyed and the Crown Prince was defeated did Xie Qinghan learn what kind of wolfish ambition lay beneath her betrothed's gentle exterior. Only then did she understand that the Crown Prince, so elegant and dazzling, had lost his position as heir because of her.

Given another chance at life, Xie Qinghan wants to do two things above all.

First, cut ties with the God of War Prince.

Second, pack her things and find the Crown Prince, who died for her in her previous life, so she can repay him.

Xiao Qisi's biggest secret is that he fell in love with his mentor's daughter. Alas, she has no feelings for him, so all he can do is watch over her in silence.

Then one day, she stands before him with a bright smile, and Xiao Qisi's heart bursts with joy.

From then on, she is cherished and adored, with a lifetime of honor and glory.

[Bonus Scene]

On their wedding night, Xiao Qisi notices that his lovely bride seems displeased and quickly asks, "Has someone bullied my beloved consort?"

His bride gives him a reproachful look. "I never expected you to marry me just to repay my father for raising you."

It turns out she's still thinking about the words in the imperial decree: "In gratitude for my mentor's kindness in raising me, I am willing to marry his daughter as Crown Princess."

Xiao Qisi chuckles and says in a low voice, "I am grateful to my mentor for raising such a wonderful daughter, one who haunts my dreams and occupies my thoughts day and night."

Blurb for the next novel, The Beauty's Makeup:

A strange thing has happened recently in the capital: the second daughter of Chief Minister Rong, whose family holds great power at court, has asked to break off her engagement to the Crown Prince.

Everyone knows that this second daughter is the cherished jewel of the Chief Minister's household, a peerless beauty and the loveliest woman in the capital. She was betrothed to the Crown Prince at birth, a match that made everyone else green with envy.

When they hear the news, the noble clans all sigh on behalf of the Chief Minister's second daughter.

Yet no one expects that, when the emperor dies, the throne will pass to the cold and ruthless Prince of Qi'an, Chu Yi.

And no one expects that, shortly after ascending the throne, the new emperor will make the Chief Minister's second daughter his empress.

--

When the Chief Minister's household first breaks off the engagement, all her former "good sisters" come to offer their condolences. Rong Qingqing gives them only one reply: "I don't want to be empress."

Prince of Qi'an Chu Yi, who happens to overhear her, falls silent.

Later, after the new emperor ascends the throne, he delays his enthronement ceremony. Chief Minister Rong rushes into the palace in the middle of the night to ask why.

Chu Yi glances at him coolly. "If I ascend the throne, there will be no empress. In that case, I might as well not do it."

That night, Chief Minister Rong tells his daughter what happened. Without a second thought, Qingqing heads straight to the palace. When she comes back, her hair is half undone and her cheeks are flushed.

The next day, an imperial decree appointing her empress is issued.

#So much for not wanting to be empress#

#The splendor of the realm is no match for a beauty's makeup#

Coming next: The Pearl in His Palm

Blurb:

A kingdom falls, and the entire imperial clan is exiled. Among them is the three-year-old Crown Prince Yun Chen, whose brilliance could astonish the world.

At the same time, the Nanyang Prince's household takes in a new adopted son.

Thirteen years later, the eldest son of the Nanyang Prince, Han Chen, launches a coup, bathes the imperial palace in blood, and successfully ascends the throne.

On the day the officials pay homage to the new emperor, three imperial decrees are issued. The first appoints Han Yue, the legitimate young daughter of the Nanyang Prince's household, as empress.

Everyone envies her, believing that the emperor is repaying the Nanyang Prince's family for raising him.

But the truth is that when Yun Chen was dying, a young girl saved him, and from then on he saw her as the moonlight in his heart.

But that girl already loves someone else.

On the night she is made empress, she weeps in his arms. "Since you knew I loved someone else, why couldn't you let me go?"

Yun Chen tenderly kisses away her tears and says, word by word, "If you wanted me to let you go, then you shouldn't have saved me back then."

#She is the moonlight in his heart, the pearl in his palm. How could he let anyone else touch her?#

#Saving someone's life feels good at first, then comes the crematorium#

The historical records state: From the day Emperor Chen ascended the throne, he never visited another palace besides the empress's.

A later note leaves us with this playful remark: "Qingqing sees someone else as the moonlight in her heart, never knowing that she has long been the pearl in my palm."

Reader's Guide: 1. The heroine has someone else in her heart at first, but it becomes a one-on-one romance later.

2. A sweet and indulgent tone.

3. Includes a crematorium and a little bit of forced marriage and possessiveness.
