The man leans toward him and murmurs, "So it was you. You're Prince Qi's consort." An Lianxi's eyes widen. "It was you?!" - Everyone is waiting to hear that the sickly young master of the An family, sent to Prince Qi's residence, has died. But as the days pass, the news from the prince's household is that the consort is being spoiled rotten. They say Prince Qi is meek and humble in his consort's presence. They say Prince Qi seeks out renowned doctors to help his consort regain his health. There are even rumors that the consort often sends Prince Qi to sleep in the study. When An Lianxi hears these rumors, he flies into a rage and locks Prince Qi outside that very night. "What have I done wrong to upset you, my consort?" the man coaxes gently from outside the door. "I'll apologize at once. Please calm down, and don't send me to the study." An Lianxi throws a bamboo pillow at the door with a sharp thud. He looks at his slightly rounded belly and feels like crying. What good is an apology?

Reborn as the Obsessive Crown Prince's Beloved Synopsis: Jiang Wangjin, heir to the Marquis's estate. In his previous life, he pushed himself to the limit despite his frail health and rose to the rank of chancellor, all to help the Seventh Prince ascend the throne. He even went so far as to break with his elder brother. In the end, he was betrayed by his trusted aide, spurned by the young general he'd grown up with, and fell out with his close friend...

Reborn, Jiang Wangjin decides to live as a wealthy idler, contentedly accepting the protection of his family and elder brother. When the Seventh Prince once again offers him an opportunity to join forces, Jiang Wangjin clutches his chest with one hand and covers his mouth with the other. When he pulls his hand away, his palm is stained with blood. "I'm afraid my health is too poor to serve Your Highness." Then he looks toward his elder brother, who seems to have simply been passing by, reaches out for a hug, and says, "Brother, I want to go home." Jiang Nanshao pauses for a moment, then picks up this "younger brother," who has always been at odds with him, and takes him home. From that day on, Jiang Wangjin shuts his doors to visitors, refuses a visit from the young general, and deliberately misses the chance to meet the friend he knew in his previous life. It is also from that day that Jiang Nanshao realizes he seems to share a connection with his nominal "younger brother." He can always tell the moment the other man becomes weak or falls ill. But Jiang Nanshao never expected their connection to work both ways... Jiang Wangjin is especially sensitive because of his frail health, and finds it difficult whenever Jiang Nanshao's emotions run high. Each time, he struggles inside, his whole body flushed red as he wonders: "Elder brother, what are you doing..." Meanwhile, the servants of the Jiang household hear their young master talking endlessly about his brother, never going a sentence without mentioning him. They often see the young master curled up in the eldest master's arms, too. - In the Jiang household, Jiang Nanshao is publicly known as the adopted son of Marquis Jiang. In private, everyone assumes he is the marquis's illegitimate son. Until the day Jiang Nanshao's true identity is revealed: the orphaned son of the late empress, the young crown prince who was supposedly "dead." Looking at the plot, now completely different from the one in his previous life, Jiang Wangjin clutches his chest and realizes his carefree life is about to end. He doesn't want to get tangled up in courtly intrigue again, so he packs his things in the middle of the night and prepares to leave the capital. But late that night, a figure in a four-clawed dragon robe has been standing silently beneath the corridor for who knows how long. His stern gaze sweeps over the bundle in Jiang Wangjin's hands, turning cold. "Didn't you say you loved your brother and wanted to be with him forever?" In the end, Jiang Wangjin is sent back to his room, clutching his aching chest. A low, gentle murmur sounds beside his ear: "You're so frail. Where do you think you're going to run?" The stubbornness beneath his tender voice is chilling. "Stay, and become my crown princess." "Stay by my side." · Deeply calculating, patient crown prince gong x reborn, sickly shou who just wants to laze around The Little Darling Is Face-Blind Synopsis: An Juan has two secrets.
