Beauty of the Lotus

On the Third Princess's birthday, Sheng'an held a celebratory parade through the streets.

At the banquet, nobles and great families gathered, countless eyes fixed on the princess whom His Majesty held dear above all else.

An Wenhe was beautiful and noble by birth.

She was also deeply favored. As soon as she came of age, she was granted a princess's residence and entered into the official register.

At the banquet, the Emperor casually asked the Third Princess, "Has my Wenhe taken a fancy to anyone? Could it be one of the young gentlemen here?"

An Wenhe's features were as lovely as a painting. Every gesture of hers was carefree and graceful, and the light in her eyes stirred the hearts of countless young men from noble families.

The Third Princess's silence would have been unremarkable, but the moment she spoke, she shocked every guest at the banquet.

"The one I love holds no office or title, and has no rank or status."

The Emperor frowned. "Then he must be a commoner, someone who has yet to sit the imperial examinations?"

An Wenhe's eyes curved into a smile. She parted her vermilion lips and said, "He is merely a qin player, with no chance of placing on the examinations."

The whole gathering erupted in an uproar.

3. Warning: This is not a traditional fluffy romance.

The female lead is a villain, mad, beautiful, and twisted. She is an unrestrained, obsessive, arrogant lunatic. In short, she is powerful and awful, and will always love herself more than anyone else.
