Crown Prince Xie Jue has been frail since birth. He survives to the age of nineteen in a broken, ailing body, yet still seems on the verge of passing away at any moment. He is brilliant and exceptionally gifted, making it all the more heartbreaking to see him like this.
Princess Changle, Xie Qingwan, is close to him and cannot bear the thought of her royal brother dying. So she learns a certain form of Eastern medicine, hoping to treat his illness. Xie Jue has little hope, but he cannot stand to see her upset, so he agrees.
Halfway through the treatment, Xie Jue's health gradually improves. But he notices that his younger sister has been acting stranger and stranger lately.
Noble and dignified, the Crown Prince is as clear and pure as jade. As his health declines, his gaze grows cold and his brows draw together, giving him an air of weariness with the world.
Only Changle can soften his expression a little.
After several days apart, the pale and sickly Xie Jue runs his slender fingertips over her face. "Little sister, have you put on a little weight?"
Xie Qingwan shakes her head. "That's just your imagination, royal brother."
Xie Jue notices that his younger sister has been avoiding him lately. At last, he stops her.
Xie Qingwan is wrapped up tightly in a snow fox fur cloak. She avoids his gaze. "I'm fine. I've just been feeling a little cold lately."
Later, after Xie Jue has recovered, he visits Princess Changle's residence. Looking at his newborn nephew, whose face bears a striking resemblance to his own, he falls into deep thought.
The male lead appears frail and pure as jade, but in truth, he's cold-hearted and a scheming black lotus.
They are not blood-related. See the end of the blurb for details. This is not a traditional historical romance, and it includes some expressions that are not period-appropriate.
Here's a recommendation for a similar upcoming novel: "Under a Love Spell with My Arch-Enemy, the Crown Prince." See the author's page.
After waking from a drunken night, Xie Fanjing discovers that the person lying in bed beside her is her eldest royal brother. She's completely dumbfounded.
Everyone knows that of all the princes, Xie Fanjing likes this eldest brother the least.
The Consort Noble has the Emperor's favor and has adopted the fifth prince. She is utterly at odds with the eldest prince, Prince Yan, Xie Sheng, who has been gaining power in recent years.
As the Consort Noble's biological daughter, Xie Fanjing naturally has no affection for Xie Sheng either.
Besides, he's always been cold and unkind to her. He seems to loathe her, so of course she avoids him whenever she can.
But who can tell her what is going on now?
How did two people who wanted nothing to do with each other end up in the same bed?
**
Under Xie Sheng's heavy gaze, Xie Fanjing's scalp tingles as she lays down three rules with him. They agree to forget this ever happened and stay out of each other's way from now on.
A month later, Xie Fanjing is panting heavily, bracing herself against the entrance to Xie Sheng's palace, barely able to stand. She wishes she could go back a month and give her past self, who talked so big, a good beating.
Six months later, the Consort Noble looks at Xie Fanjing suspiciously and suddenly realizes that her daughter has put on some weight lately.
One-on-one, both leads are each other's first and only.
A sweet romance.
#The leads are not on the imperial family register and have no blood or formal relationship whatsoever.#
See the author's page for the completed works of a similar type: "Gathering Spring Dew," an emperor and the former sister-in-law he has long secretly loved (the female lead is single); "A Slow Spring Encounter," a cold emperor and a young, beautiful crown princess; and "It Turns Out I Was My Own White Moonlight," where she is the cold emperor's unattainable first love and the most precious person in his heart.
"Springtime Shyness" has no blood relations between the leads. They know from the start that they are not related, and everyone in the realm knows it too. They are not on the same household or imperial register. The female lead calls the male lead's father "Your Majesty" and refers to his siblings by their titles. Some foreshadowing will be revealed later. The female lead and male lead have no formal relationship at all. When she occasionally addresses him in a certain way, it's like a young woman addressing a man a few years older whom she's close to, and does not imply any familial or ethical relationship. (The female lead explains this herself in Chapter 49.)

Xie Qingwan's cheeks were dyed pink, and she shyly covered her slightly bulging belly with her hands.
Xie Jue's brows moved slightly, his eyes darkened, and he stretched out his hand: "You——"
"I'll recruit you, my brother!" Xie Qingwan lifted up her skirt and took out a stack of books, "I shouldn't be hiding in the middle of the night reading my storybook."
"But -" she took out a book, ""Stealing Heart", the emperor has been practicing Taoism for many years and his heart was stolen. It's so sweet and pure love. The hero, hurry up and let me know how to be with Qing Mei!"
"In "Rou Zhen", the man dressed as a woman, the emperor brother Yan Yan, set his sights on me. Tsk tsk tsk, it was so perverted. Brother, I also want to see you in women's clothes. You must be the most beautiful eldest princess in the Jin Dynasty."
"Don't think about it." Xie Jue slowly took the book out of her hand, "Stop reading these messy things."
"Brother, the main actor in "Original Obsession" could have been as long-mouthed as you. But behind his back, he has a crush on his step-sister but pretends to be cool and cold all the time. He deserves to be the one chasing his wife in the end."
Listening to his sister's chattering voice, Xie Jue looked at the "confiscated" books piled up like a hill and pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
He wanted to come and see what was causing his Wanwan to be so obsessed with it.
"Late Spring Burning" Mother, it was you who provoked me first.
"Yanguang" No one in the world can separate him from his sister.
"After taking away the innocence of the emperor's grandson", she became pregnant and became numb.
"Yao Chi Yan" The old bratty brother has become a cold emperor, and he misses me.
"Spring Beauty Alone" My uncle always treated her so well.
Xie Jue looked at the title and introduction of the book, and frowned slightly. He opened it and read it casually. A quarter of an hour later——
He threw the book on the case, his ears were rarely stained red, and his eyebrows were knitted tightly: "What are they?"
How could there be something so outrageous, rude, and disrespectful of ethics?
Just turning a page at random made him feel strange in his heart, which had always been overwhelming.
After a while, Xie Jue raised his head and looked at his sleeping sister beside him. He raised his hand respectfully and opened the first page of "Brother Royal Loves Me Too Much".
There is something remarkable about this book. No wonder the author hid it and left only a single copy here.
Linglong, is it really not a case of fetal transmutation? (Thinking jpg)
The title Lao Deng... Doesn't sound like someone who can teach himself without a teacher...
Oh no, no, I can't bear to do it, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my wife is writing about the daily life of the male and female protagonists! I want to see them interact!
I want to see the male and female protagonists getting along daily! ! ! ! After the two exchanged their feelings, they didn't even write anything, so it was time to raise a baby.
Ke Shao always feels that Lingbi is so pitiful that his parents missed many opportunities for him to grow up [crying]
This is too short. Don't the male and female protagonists have much interaction?
I laughed so hard that I banged the table hahahahahahahahaha I bet the male protagonist didn't really want to be called brother hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
If his uncle rebelled, he would be stealing the throne from his nephew. He is not mentally ill hahahahahahahaha
But how can this not be considered another form of restoration? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha no, this is the fusion of two dynasties. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Just like Dada, my female goose can only be a queen.
I really want to see my uncle come here hahahahahahahaha
But when I think about how my biological uncle would feel when he meets his fake uncle, and when he sees his sister having another one, I feel like hahahahahaha
