[A forthcoming groveling romance]
Courtesan x fallen crown prince
The first time she saw him was at the Yongyue House.
He was the crown prince, a powerful man high above everyone else. She was a courtesan, lowly as an ant. He spent a fortune to buy one night with her.
She knelt before him to help him undress, her hands trembling uncontrollably. He smiled. "Are you afraid of me?"
The second time she saw him was in prison.
By then, he had lost his power and become a prisoner at another man's mercy. She had volunteered to come and attend to him.
She knelt before him and saw the wounds on his body. Her hands trembled just as they had the first time. He raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you afraid of me?"
They made love in prison and took shelter from the rain in a corner.
He held her and told her the lie that he would never let her down.
Then he turned around and married someone else.
