First Tying Up Her Cloudlike Hair

[Complete] #Sweet, satisfying romance# The update notices are for revisions.

[Blurb] After a sudden upheaval, the daughter of the Liu family was sent to the Music Bureau. Liu Fuling was as beautiful as a crabapple, attracting countless admirers, all waiting for her coming-of-age so they could take their pick.

She tried to find someone to protect her, but in the blink of an eye, she was sent to serve the sickly Crown Prince.

The candlelight flickered.

The Crown Prince, who should have been weak and coughing, had murder in his eyes. He flicked the blood from his hand and asked her with a smile, "You saw everything?"

★

Everyone said Liu Fuling was lucky. The Crown Prince had taken her to the Eastern Palace, where she was showered with every kindness.

At palace banquets, he personally fed her the pastries she loved.

Each night, he wanted only her to attend him as he retired.

He even took Liu Fuling with him on official business outside the palace, never letting her out of his sight.

Only Liu Fuling knew how treacherous the palace was, and how sinister and cold-hearted the Crown Prince could be. He was a truly heartless man, and if she let him use her, one wrong move could cost her life.

In private, the Crown Prince often traced the tendons in her neck, his gaze dark, as if he might snap her neck the next moment.

Liu Fuling could only lie low and search for a chance to escape.

★

When Liu Fuling first caught him pretending to be sickly, the Crown Prince wanted to kill her.

Later, he found her obedient and adorable, and convenient to use, so he kept her by his side as an amusing plaything.

Until one day, she got drunk and boldly threw her arms around him, calling him by another man's name.

That night, his eyes darkened as he carried her into his bedchamber.

At last, he shattered the last of his restraint.

[Little scene]

She had only just started wearing her hair in a married woman's style when she was sent to the Crown Prince. Awkward and stiff, she earned his cold gaze.

Liu Fuling: This concubine is foolish...

Zhao Yunyi sneered: You certainly are.

Later, the new emperor kept no concubines, and he and the empress lived in perfect harmony.

Zhao Yunyi: Could the empress love me a little more?

Liu Fuling: This concubine is foolish...

Zhao Yunyi pulled her into his arms and angrily bit the tip of her ear. "I'm the foolish one. I'm the foolish one, all right?"

#In the end, he willingly fell into her hands#

Sinister, scheming, theatrically villainous crown prince X healing, naturally seductive beauty

Note: 1. The male lead really is ill, but he's not weak, and he will recover.

2. Single-virgin couple. The male lead starts out as a proud, puppy-like guy with a mind full of schemes. (He really is a dog, and in some ways he's genuinely disrespectful to the female lead early on. Please don't read if you can't accept that!) The female lead will teach him how to behave later.

3. The female lead falls for him late. Later, there's a chase-your-wife arc where he gets teary-eyed, holds her by the waist, and begs her not to leave.

4. A sweet romance with no angst.

The blurb was screenshotted and dated February 2, 2022, revised May 18.

[My new story, A Moon Over the River, Reborn, is now underway]

In her previous life, Jiang Mianyue was betrayed by her childhood sweetheart and left with nowhere to turn. She gave herself to the powerful official Qi Yunzheng, using her beauty to secure her family's safety.

Qi Yunzheng was powerful and ruthless. Jiang Mianyue feared him and tried to avoid him, but he kept her locked in his inner courtyard, where they were entangled until she died of illness.

Now reborn, Jiang Mianyue doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

★

After being reborn, Jiang Mianyue takes another chance to study at the Imperial College and become a female official.

She focuses on her studies, determined not to repeat the wrong turns that ruined her previous life.

In her first class, the promising young Libationer Qi personally gives the lecture. He looks at Jiang Mianyue with an easy smile and says, "Good answer."

A cold sweat breaks out across Jiang Mianyue's back.

She doesn't know that Qi Yunzheng is still a young Libationer at this point.

He seems as clear and upright as a pine, but beneath the surface he hides a sharp edge. He's not someone to provoke, so she'd be wise to keep her distance.

★

Later, Jiang Mianyue realizes that Lord Qi seems different from the man he was in her previous life.

Now he is gentle and warm, a true gentleman, nothing like the terrifying man from her past.

Jiang Mianyue gradually stops fearing him, but whenever she thinks of the shameful things she did with him in her previous life, her instinct is to keep her distance.

When Jiang Mianyue comes of age, she carefully chooses a suitable husband.

Before the marriage documents have even arrived, Qi Yunzheng suddenly appears from a thousand miles away.

His usual gentle and patient manner is gone. A sinister look crosses his jade-like face as he grabs her wrist and pins her against the table.

He tears apart every rule of etiquette, morality, and shame.

"I told you in our previous life that you could do whatever you wanted as my wife."

"You can marry someone else only over my dead body."

Enough of this gentle warmth and true gentleman act. He's been pretending for long enough.
