Joy in the Golden Palace

There is a beauty whose face, once seen, is never forgotten. A single day apart, and longing drives one mad.

As the crown prince, Qi Heng is the very image of grace and refinement, admired by all as a brilliant and dazzling candidate for the throne. Yet he has a secret he cannot speak aloud.

The Noble Consort Lan, whom his father seized after destroying the Chu Kingdom, has become an enchanting vision he cannot forget, even in his dreams. For her, he is willing to bear the infamy of killing his father and monarch.

A frail little bird has a beautiful song and lovely wings. Whenever it flies through the mountains and wilderness, singing sweetly, it attracts covetous attention from every direction.

Qi Heng cannot bear to break the bird's soft wings, so he builds it a nest fit for the world: beams of pearls and jade, a cage of golden wire, and a floor strewn with flowers. He makes it the safest and most luxurious home imaginable.

Unfortunately... the bird insists on breaking free from its fragrant nest.

If that's the case, then he can only bear the pain of breaking both its wings.

Without its wings, the bird no longer has the strength to soar into the sky. It can only obediently return to its golden cage, singing sweetly for one person alone.

Posting the blurb first. I may make some small changes later. Includes elements such as possessive pursuit, a princess from a fallen kingdom, and father-and-son rivalry. It's a melodramatic hotpot, with a delicate and beautiful heroine and men who are all kinds of terrible. If that's not your thing, don't read.
