Excessive Indulgence

[Pre-release: East Palace Favor, please add it to your collection!] Xie Ci, daughter of the Grand Princess, had lips red as vermilion, a face like jade, and peerless beauty. She was the most beautiful woman in the capital. But she was also flamboyant, even domineering, and had offended many people in the city. When Xie Ci was fifteen, she was told that she wasn’t the Grand Princess’s daughter. Out of consideration for their past relationship, the Grand Princess didn’t throw her out and let her continue living in the capital. But that was the extent of her kindness. There was no mother-daughter affection left. After the true daughter was found, the Grand Princess renamed her Xie Yingxing and took her everywhere. For a time, she was the center of attention. Xie Yingxing was gentle as water and reasonable, making Xie Ci seem all the more worthless by comparison. At a flower-viewing banquet, Xie Ci and Xie Yingxing got into an argument. Then Xie Ci shoved Xie Yingxing into the water. Everyone was aghast. They thought Xie Ci was completely out of control, still so unrestrained even after falling from grace. Xie Wudu, the Grand Princess’s son and Xie Yingxing’s full brother, was also at the banquet. He was a powerful court official who could command everything with a wave of his hand. Everyone waited for a spectacle, but instead the powerful official walked up to Xie Ci, deep concern in his eyes, and asked whether she’d hurt her hand. Xie Ci pouted and threw herself into Xie Wudu’s arms. “She was bullying me.” …Wait, who was bullying whom? Everyone thought the Grand Princess was the reason Xie Ci could act so brazenly. Little did they know that Xie Wudu was the one who had her back. Xie Ci had been raised by Xie Wudu. He spoiled her from childhood and granted her every wish. She had never suffered the slightest injustice. On the day Xie Ci was driven out of the Grand Princess’s residence, Xie Wudu happened to return. The usually proud girl, eyes red, asked him, “Xie Wudu, do you believe her too?” Xie Wudu gently brushed her reddened eyes, his gaze darkening. “I only believe you, Ci.” Xie Wudu took Xie Ci back to demand justice. When he moved against Xie Yingxing, the Grand Princess shouted at him in anger, but Xie Wudu’s people held her back, leaving her to watch helplessly. Xie Wudu looked at the Grand Princess and smiled. “Mother, I’m the only one who gets to lay a hand on what’s mine.” His tone was a warning. The Grand Princess looked at her son and couldn’t stop trembling. She had always known he was a madman. * The leads are not blood-related.

The Third Princess was peerlessly beautiful and arrogant. Now that she had fallen into the new emperor’s hands, she was unlikely to meet a happy end. Only Xie Chu knew the truth. Back then, she would sit there barefoot, eating grapes, and order people to whip him. He should have hated her, but her jade-white feet swayed in front of him, the bells around her ankles chimed brightly, and her sly laughter reached his ears. From that moment on, desire and love had possessed him, leaving him sleepless. Airhead x grump Theme: Keep your feet on the ground, and you can build a better future together.
