Eyes Brimming with Tears

[Complete. Pure fluff.] The puppet emperor was not fit for the bedroom and had no children. The ambitious maternal relatives of the Shi family kept pressuring Shi Nan, who had long lived in the palace, to have a child. They hinted outright that she should find someone else. Shy and easily embarrassed, she would often get so angry that her face turned red, her hands trembled, and tears streamed down her cheeks. A little scene: Prince Zhao Ji had been away on campaigns for years, cutting an imposing figure. Not long after returning to the capital, he secretly kept a beauty outside the palace. She came from the pear garden, delicate and lovely enough to make anyone feel protective. She often cried at the slightest thing, whether she was hurt or felt wronged, giving him no end of headaches. But with those bewitching eyes and skin as smooth as jade, he was too much of a sucker to let her go, so he had to keep her comfortable and soothe her. Later, when his little darling became pregnant, he was overjoyed. Before he could even decide which official household to ask to raise her status, the entire opera troupe vanished without a trace. * Zhao Ji seized the emperor’s realm to win the emperor’s woman. She sobbed and sniffled, utterly inconsolable. She simply couldn’t manage without him. Reading guide: One-on-one, both leads are virgins, pure fluff with no angst. Upcoming book: The Temptress and the Delicate Beauty Yu Ling was born to the imperial consort. After a case of the wrong child being raised as the heir, she became the Fourth Prince’s consort. Her elder sister, who had been living at the marquis’s residence, suddenly died. The newly enfeoffed Marquis of Pingyang brought her memorial tablet into his home. Yu Ling returned from outside the capital and moved into the marquis’s residence as the future Fourth Prince’s consort and the marquis’s wife’s younger sister. A little scene: The bright moon rose over the courtyard. Xie Shenxun sat at his desk, reading. Yu Ling brought him hot tea. He glanced at her absentmindedly and reached out to take it, accidentally brushing her fingers. His fingertips twitched. Yu Ling was beautiful, with fair skin and dazzling features. When she first appeared in the capital, people privately remarked that she surpassed even the imperial consort, once praised as the most beautiful woman in the land, with her skin like ice and bones like jade. Xie Shenxun suddenly said in a calm voice that a fragrance should not be vulgar. Yu Ling looked at him in confusion, her eyes clear as autumn waters. It seemed she hadn’t heard him, and she asked sweetly what he had said. Xie Shenxun looked up and met his sister-in-law’s innocent gaze. Remembering that she disliked strong scents and never wore perfume, he paused, then simply said it was nothing. The only fragrance about her was her natural feminine scent, detectable only when he stood very close. Reading guide: One-on-one, both leads are virgins. A seemingly innocent, alluring beauty.
