The Little Princess of the Marquis's Household

Blurb One Xiao Zhuo has a dream. She dreams that she accidentally falls into the water and is rescued by a handsome man in white. Young and naive, she falls in love at first sight. Afterward, she stubbornly insists to her family that, as the legitimate third daughter of the Anyang Marquis's household, she be married off to a minister's son. What she gets in return is a miscarriage, lifelong infertility, sharing a husband with the sister who was once her closest friend, and, after her husband rises to power, being pushed down a well by her own sister, who has no more use for her after she overhears their entire conspiracy.

I have to nip this in the bud. I absolutely won't let myself become so pathetic!!! Blurb Two In the Great Yi Dynasty, kinship is held above all else. Over the years, there has only been one prince from outside the imperial clan, Prince Qian.

But after that, he vanished without a trace. Four years later, the fabled young Prince Qian finally returns to the capital. The emperor is overjoyed and declares that he will make up for the rewards delayed all these years, telling Jing Xun he can ask for anything he wants. But as the emperor and his civil and military officials stand smiling atop Xuanwu Gate, ready to welcome him, the person they are waiting for is leisurely sitting on the second floor of a tavern, watching a young girl by a first-floor window happily savoring sweet soup. He smiles with satisfaction. "Mm, looks like your tastes haven't changed. Excellent."

Please add it to your collection! Coming soon: The Marquis's Beloved Maid. Please add it to your collection! Jiang Ning is a maid to the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Her face is as lovely as a lotus, and she is delicate and charming. At a Shen family banquet, the lecherous and violent Prince Zhao takes an instant liking to Jiang Ning. Miss Shen has long disliked her, so she takes the opportunity to foist her off on him. On a dark and windy night, with a bruise on her temple and her face deathly pale, Jiang Ning clutches her torn clothes and stumbles out of the north courtyard, crashing into someone's arms. Backlit, Jiang Ning only has time to glimpse the man's handsome profile before grabbing his sleeve as if her life depends on it. "Sir, please, save me..." Only later does Jiang Ning learn that the man is Shao Ce, heir to the Prince of Zhenbei, a rising court favorite who has just won a military victory. Having escaped the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's lair, Jiang Ning resigns herself to her fate when she's sent as a gift to the Prince of Zhenbei's residence. Fortunately, this tiger doesn't seem so frightening. Shao Ce is cold by nature. The first time his heart stirs is when a tearful, terrified face crashes into his arms beneath the night sky. So when Miss Shen sends the girl over, he makes an exception and keeps her. He thought of it as just one more mouth to feed, but she turns out to be quite a handful: timid, softhearted, and frail. The only thing worth mentioning is how soft and sweet she is, enough to make anyone worry about her. In less than three months, she manages to break Shao Ce of his habit of coming home late. Whenever Shao Ce hears a servant's report and frowns "impatiently," everyone gets a sour taste in their mouths. More than that, they're curious about the woman in question. But when asked about her, Shao Ce says nothing. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. Not long afterward, Shao Ce is ambushed while on an inspection tour, and by the time he finally makes it back to the capital, three months have passed. During that time, Shao Ce repeatedly dreams that Jiang Ning is worried and panicking over his disappearance. Every time he dreams of it, his heart aches so badly he can hardly breathe. But when he returns to the residence, weary from his journey, he is greeted by an empty room... Two years later, the Ningyuan Marquis, who has guarded the border for years, is summoned back to the capital. It's said that he's also brought back the daughter he finally managed to find after years apart. At the welcoming banquet, Shao Ce watches the stranger following behind the Ningyuan Marquis give him a distant, unfamiliar bow. The cup in his hand suddenly shatters in his grasp. An innocent, coy beauty x a pure-hearted (secretly passionate) heir One-on-one, both virgins, happy ending A sweet romance, no doubt about it A fictional setting, no need to fact-check 2022.01.22 Theme: Learn to judge for yourself.
