The Eastern Palace’s Cherished Darling

This book is also known as My Crown Princess Is Always Impossible to Warm

--At first, I thought I could keep her close, carry her in my palm, and warm her a little. But later I thought, if that still wasn't enough, then I'd keep her in my heart and spend my whole life warming her.

[Mr. and Mrs. Smith + daily pursuit of his wife]

In her previous life, Su Jinli escaped from a ghost marriage and lived incognito among the common folk, experiencing every kind of hardship.

After being reborn, she sets out to take revenge while repaying her debts of gratitude among the common folk in the ugly guise she had in her previous life. There, she meets Brother Jiu.

Crown Prince Zhao Xu is sent to Dafa Temple. While supposedly recuperating there, he secretly changes his identity and plots his next moves. He meets a homely girl with dark circles and a scarred face, Little Crispy Pear.

As the two grow closer, Little Crispy Pear disappears without a word.

The crown prince is sent back to the palace under the pretext of being pitied and needing good fortune. Su Jinli, the daughter of the Duke of Yingguo, comes forward to pledge her loyalty and becomes the crown princess.

But the crown prince has someone else in his heart. No matter how loyal and obedient the crown princess is, he remains distant from this political ally.

The crown prince stands by, while Su Jinli treads on thin ice in the palace.

At last, Su Jinli gets her revenge and no longer wants to offend the "dog" crown prince.

She plans to fake her death and watch from the sidelines as the prince, doomed to live alone, tries to find the woman he loves. But then she learns that her benefactor is in danger.

Zhao Xu suddenly receives news of Little Crispy Pear, but in the end, he has to rescue her from his enemies.

The girl in his arms is badly injured and spits up blood. In his panic, Zhao Xu reaches out to wipe it away, then suddenly turns deathly pale.

...The scar is fake? Her face is fake too?

He realizes too late that some mistakes can never be undone!

A little scene:

Deep in the night, with the palace quiet and even the birds and cicadas still, Zhao Xu changes out of his emperor's robes and into a moon-white gown. He climbs over the wall and whispers from beneath the window, trying to coax her: "Little Crispy Pear, please forgive Brother Jiu just this once, all right?"

Su Jinli rests a hand on her rounded belly behind the window and refuses to respond.

--An emperor climbing over walls in the middle of the night? What a sight. How did I never realize he was so shameless?

Theme: Looking back, every hardship is a gift life gives to those who remain strong!
