Blurb:
Shangguan Qianqian is a cherished young lady of the capital. Raised in the seclusion of her family’s home since childhood, she has mastered the four arts, excels at painting and calligraphy, and dances with the grace of a startled swan.
That year, she stood deep in a peach grove. One glance was all it took for her to take root in his heart. He had never been interested in women, but at last began approaching one of his own accord. His personal guard was secretly delighted: “His Highness’s heart of iron is finally about to bloom.”
She told him her heart already belonged to someone else. He paid no heed and only pursued her more relentlessly. Once, he pinned her against a wall. “Don’t think you can run. You can only be this prince’s woman.”
Everyone said, “There’s no happiness in forcing someone.”
Li Jinyu replied, “I insist on forcing it.”
Until the day she had nothing left, when he carried her into the Eastern Palace. “Qianqian, don’t be afraid. You still have me.”
Later, he said, “Qianqian, it’s wonderful to have you by my side as I survey these magnificent lands.”

Ning Ke was the daughter of a low-ranking official. After her family suffered a calamity, she became a maid in a prestigious clan.
One day, Shen Xiuting pointed at her and told Old Madam Shen, “I want her.”
Everyone thought the young lord’s choosing her meant her luck had finally turned. Only she knew how Shen Xiuting, so pure and noble by day, tormented her at night.
As she knelt on the ground, drenched in sweat, he asked, “Tell me, who sent you?”
Ning Ke knew that in Shen Xiuting’s eyes, she was nothing but a lowly maid. He despised her.
He would never show her the slightest tenderness or respect, even though he craved her body.
Later, she escaped the Shen residence.
He ordered a thorough search and found her. Gripping her chin, he said, “You think you can run after crossing me?”

Theme: Cherish the person by your side
Darling, I was shocked just by reading the introduction.
Is this the author's early practice work? I read more than a dozen chapters, but I didn't finish it. The story was told in a straightforward manner, and it was too simplistic.
Send flowers to the author and hope for a sweet ending
VIP, paid.
Isn't the ending released yet?

The male protagonist is a prince, surrounded by beauties, but he hasn't touched any of them, which is illogical.
