The main story is complete. Thank you all for your support.
After her family fell into ruin, Lingzhi was like a duckweed drifting on the water. The betrothal arranged in her childhood became the only light buried in her heart.
Lingzhi never expected to run into her fiancé. He didn’t recognize her, but she recognized the scar on his hand at a glance.
When she was little, she had fallen into the water, and he had gotten that scar saving her at the risk of his life.
They hadn’t seen each other in ten years. He had grown into a man as beautiful as an immortal.
But he seemed to have forgotten their past.
She worked up the courage to approach him, but didn’t dare mention their engagement. She could only follow behind him carefully, doing everything she could to get close and show him kindness.
Only when her real fiancé appeared did Lingzhi realize she had mistaken the crown prince, traveling incognito under another name, for the man she was meant to marry.
Fortunately, the crown prince was magnanimous and let her offense pass with a smile.
He even invited her to the capital to marry him, and Lingzhi was deeply grateful.
Lingzhi never imagined that from the moment she entered the capital, she would step into a cage, one step at a time.
Deep in the palace, the crown prince coldly tore up the butterfly she had embroidered, his gaze dark. "I told you not to embroider butterflies, cranes, or birds again. Even if you really grew wings, where could you possibly escape to?"
From the male lead’s perspective:
While traveling incognito through Jiangnan, Crown Prince Li Yu borrowed the name of a trusted official.
Along the way, he met a solitary young woman dependent on others for shelter. From their very first meeting, she went out of her way to get close to him.
Li Yu had met countless women like her and looked down on her.
Still... looking at her lovely cloud of hair and slender waist, the usually proud Li Yu thought it wouldn’t hurt to take her as a concubine and indulge her infatuation.
It wasn’t until his trusted aide mentioned the betrothal arranged in his childhood that he understood. Lingzhi hadn’t been trying to please him because of who he was, or even because of his power.
She had done it for a name that had never belonged to him.
Li Yu looked at Lingzhi, who was blushing with delight as she prepared to enter the capital as a bride. He slowly rubbed his thumb ring and narrowed his eyes.

New novel coming soon: His Majesty Once Said I Was Just His Cousin. Please add it to your reading list.
Jiang Nuo realized that her cousin, the crown prince who had just become emperor, had changed.
She tugged at his sleeve, asking him to help pick a spring dress. He replied impatiently, "You’re bothering me with trivial women’s matters. Can’t you tell what’s important?"
She called him "Brother" in a coquettish voice. He answered coldly, "You’re the empress. You should call me Your Majesty."
Even when she cried, his voice sent a chill through her. "Wipe your tears. Don’t let anyone see the empress cry."
Jiang Nuo was bewildered. She had loved him for so long, yet she didn’t know how to be an empress.
He was like a god looking down from on high as he ordered, "If you don’t know, then go learn."

On horseback, Jiang Nuo was as bright as a young swallow in spring as she cheerfully called him "Brother Your Majesty."
An envoy beside them smiled and asked, "Is she the empress of your country?"
Amid the laughter, the young emperor, usually so composed and solemn, looked embarrassed. "She is the daughter of the Duke of Wei. She’s only my cousin."
Jiang Nuo froze. After deciding to let go, she changed overnight into someone who knew exactly how to behave.

Watching his little cousin act so properly only made His Majesty more and more irritated.
It turned out that the one who couldn’t tell what mattered was himself...

I skipped directly to the finale and was frightened. There was nothing exciting, but it was just too scary. I felt resigned to my fate. The heroine was so pitiful.
I quite like the idea that the male protagonist is not defeated until the end. I have seen a lot of rape stories where the male protagonist is scheming and becomes less scheming at the end.
The second male lead is really a part of the male protagonist's play, and his character design is so bad. When he is needed to make the male protagonist jealous, he is a lover with a clean and honest style, dedicated and affectionate, who will go through fire and water for the female protagonist. When not needed, he is a cowardly, cowardly and calculating backup, who usually takes advantage of others by force. You just want to feel coercive, but you have forced yourself, so why do you have to seize the moral high ground? Male protagonist, you first snatched the second male lead's fiancée, and then buried so many rumors about his career. You also threw his own mother into the water, forced the second male lead to marry a woman you don't like, and finally you blame the second male lead for betraying you? I feel that the male lead is not loyal and ruthless enough for not obediently handing over his fiancée. As long as the male protagonist is honest and knows that he is a bad person and forces him to be overbearing, that's fine. But in the end, you did a lot of rubbish. You also blame the male protagonist for not loving the female protagonist enough. Yue, the things that the male protagonist did as a co-author are better than the male protagonist. This article is all about coercion and no love, right?
Show me Yue. Isn't the male protagonist a pure QJ offender? He uses his power to hurt and insult the female protagonist without any guilt. The entire page describes his anger and feels that the female protagonist is ungrateful. The second male lead is also sanctimonious and pretends to be affectionate. He deserves to die in the end. I was so angry that I wanted to ask the author if he was a boy. The male protagonist didn't have any crematorium at all. They were all indifferent. I only saw the disgusting plan of the male protagonist under the power of the Tongtian Emperor. Everyone knelt down and licked the male protagonist to help him speak. In the end, they insisted on giving him a miserable childhood so that the female protagonist's mother's heart exploded and he was forced to heal. Can't the heroine be beautiful alone? The character design is so good. It really makes me angry that she insists on clinging to this hell.
Although it doesn't have be, it can be considered te, which is pretty good.
Sure enough, under feudal power, women have always been dependent on men for survival?
So is the heroine the queen in the end?
This should be considered BE, but what the male protagonist did... Is really difficult to HE.
Congratulations on finishing the full story. I have been following the series intermittently. I hated the male lead at first, feeling that he was forcing himself and hurting the female lead. In the end, I was annoyed by the second lead actor. I felt that the second lead actor was a hypocrite and sanctimonious. He said he loved the female lead but kept hurting Zhi Zhi. Regardless of whether I read the main story or the extras, Zhi Zhi was the person who made me feel most distressed in the whole story. He was kind, beautiful, and bright and moving. Although I personally like the ending of be, the mutual redemption is also good, but I still feel disappointed. I personally like the main text very much, where you are in a cage and have no choice but to
Will there be any scenes of having a baby?
