Pampered Empress

In the third year of Yongjia, the emperor and empress set out to choose a consort for the crown prince, sending the capital's noble young ladies into a frenzy.

Everyone knew that the crown prince was strikingly handsome, his beauty unmatched in the capital. But he suffered from a "head ailment" and could not be near women.

On the day of the selection, all the young ladies gave it their all, led by the chancellor's youngest daughter, Liu, the capital's most beautiful woman. They all hoped to win the crown prince's favor and affection.

Who could have guessed that halfway through the banquet, a palace attendant from the Eastern Palace would arrive with a message: "His Highness is busy with state affairs. Please make yourselves at home, ladies."

As the young ladies were leaving empty-handed, they saw the breathtaking crown prince holding a little girl's hand. He gave a soft, amused laugh. "Will you let me hold you now?"

Qin Ci first met the little girl in his mother's bedchamber.

She had been adopted by his maternal uncle's household, so he took an unusual second look at her. The little girl was dressed prettily, as sweet and lovely as a flower. She looked like someone with a gentle nature.

The empress had given him a special reminder at the time: "Your uncle hasn't taken a wife all these years, and it's rare for him to adopt a daughter. You mustn't bully her."

Qin Ci's gaze was mild and cool. He gave a casual "Mm," then turned and promptly forgot all about it. He never imagined that later on, he would cling to the little girl and never want to let her go.

#Blurb#

Meng Wan, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Prince Regent's household, was peerlessly beautiful, the pride of Chang'an. Even before she came of age, suitors had already crowded her doorstep.

But her father was no good at handling things, and incurred the emperor's suspicion. She had no choice but to leave the capital for a while to avoid trouble.

As soon as she arrived in Jiangnan, Meng Wan happened to pick up an exceptionally handsome young man.

Not only was he as beautiful as a painting, he was also sweet and considerate, pleasing her in every way.

Then one day, Meng Wan had a dream. It turned out she was merely a doomed supporting female character in a book, and the young man she'd picked up was the original story's male lead. Unable to have her, he would turn wicked and eventually sentence her to drink poison.

And at that point, they would be sharing a warm, romantic bedchamber.

Meng Wan: "..."

Was there any point in letting this plot continue?

After several days of agonizing over it, Meng Wan decided that staying alive mattered most. She began deliberately distancing herself from the boy she had raised since childhood.

One day, snow and rain drifted through the air.

The boy stood by her bed, holding a bloodstained blade. His voice was cold, his expression innocent. "A-Jie, you've been ignoring me lately. Have you started to hate me?"

As he spoke, the blade glinted brightly.

Meng Wan immediately cowered and blurted out a denial. "No."

Blurb:

Everyone in the capital knew that Qin Shuyun, the chancellor's cousin, was a beauty with a lovely face and graceful figure, perfectly suited to be crown princess.

She was therefore the foremost among the capital's noble young ladies.

One day, at a flower-viewing banquet, the emperor's procession happened to pass by the imperial garden.

He caught sight of a tipsy, sweet-looking young woman with a rosy face, and the emperor, whose heart had always been hard and cold, felt it stir.

In his previous life, when the young woman first came to the capital, she had no one to rely on. He took her in and raised her by his side, teaching her with care.

Later, when she reached the age of blossoming, he personally found her a suitable match.

But just after the decree naming her crown princess was issued, the young woman entered the palace and nestled against him for the first time, crying as she begged, "I don't want to marry the crown prince."

He thought she was just being willful and laughed it off. But in the end, his little girl did not live the happy life he had wished for her, year after year.

Later, he went mad.

In this life, he would keep his little girl under his wing and shower her with love and affection.
