Marrying the Crown Prince

Before she died, Xie Yunjue finally understood that the younger sister she had cherished had always been jealous of her, and that her mother consort had only ever treated her as a pawn in the struggle for the emperor's favor. She was not even a real princess. When her identity was exposed, she fell straight into hell. In despair, she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she was fourteen once more. Back then, she was still the beloved princess, and nothing had fallen apart yet. She had to conceal her identity, uncover the truth, and make up for her regrets... So she turned her attention to the aloof and proud Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace. He was the Crown Prince, and also her elder brother. They had been close when she was young, but had grown distant as they got older. Now, to save her own life and save him, she had no choice but to make peace with him again. She would take the initiative to draw close, help him solve his troubles, and call him "Elder Brother Crown Prince" in a soft, tender voice... But at some point, the way the Crown Prince looked at her began to change. When the emperor chose a husband for her, she casually picked one. That night, someone appeared in her room. The usually unflappable Crown Prince had a dark look in his eyes as he slowly rubbed the piece of white jade she had given him. As Xie Yunjue was about to pay her respects, he walked over at an unhurried pace. His long fingers brushed her hair at the temples, his gaze dark. "Little sister, are you really in such a hurry to marry? Didn't your elder brother tell you to wait one more year?" Xie Yunjue panicked and instinctively stepped back. He firmly seized her slender waist and said hoarsely, "Yingying, you were the one who said you'd marry your elder brother when you grew up. How can you break your promise and marry someone else?" Xie Yunjue: ... A silly thing she said when she was four. How could he take it seriously! #I Thought You Were My Elder Brother, But You Want Me All to Yourself# P.S. The romance begins after their relationship as siblings is dissolved. Cold, scheming Crown Prince X pampered young lady My upcoming novel: Marrying into a Prestigious Family by Mo Zizhe Fu Xuan, heir to the Duke of Anguo's estate, was brilliantly talented and refined, the dream man of many noble young ladies. Yet a woman from a humble family somehow managed to marry him. Lu Wan felt guilty, but she never let her mother-in-law's dislike or her sister-in-law's sneers get to her. Everyone thought she loved Fu Xuan dearly. He was a sickly man, and she was exhausting herself trying to secure her place in the ducal household. No wonder she collapsed in bed every few days, clinging to life with medicine. Fu Xuan thought so too. In view of how hard she worked to manage the household, he figured he could at least try being a real husband to her. His little wife was perfect in every way, except that she was too delicate, so he had never dared make a move. Then, on the day the imperial retreat was attacked, she killed without even blinking. Fu Xuan: ...? Fu Xuan followed the clues and discovered who she really was. She was no ordinary woman from a humble family. The entire ducal household might even be dragged down with her. He was angry for days. But her devotion was truly moving, and he couldn't keep leaving her alone forever. When he went looking for her, he overheard someone sticking up for her. "She has to face an ice-cold man every day, and still has to wear herself out managing the household. It's so unfair to her." She smiled brightly. "It doesn't matter. We're going to divorce anyway. All that's left is for him to sign the papers." That very night, Fu Xuan suddenly injured his arm. According to the doctor, he wouldn't be able to write for half a year. A divorce? Not a chance. Secretly in Love by Mo Zizhe 1 In high school, he was the handsome heartthrob of the affiliated school: gorgeous, wealthy, and so decorated with awards that he could barely hold them all. Countless girls liked him. She was quiet and unremarkable. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get into the Olympiad class. Her only connection to him was that she lived at his house. Even when she rode home on the back of his bicycle at night, they barely spoke. When his friends teased him about her, he would only raise his eyebrows and laugh, "Give it a rest. She's my little sister. She's timid and can't take a joke." The boldest thing she ever did was steal a kiss from him at his coming-of-age ceremony. When he opened his eyes, she immediately lost her nerve and could only pretend to be drunk, calling out his friend's name. He dumped her outside the door, pointed at Li Yan, and sneered, "Keep an eye on her." 2 As an adult, he was still dazzling. She was only a little-known actress, and even when people stole roles from her, she could only put up with it in silence. The thing she did most often was secretly travel to his city, just to taste food he had once eaten. They met again at a banquet. When she was being pressured to drink, he finally lost patience and dragged her to a corner. "Where's Li Yan? Isn't he looking after you?" He glanced at her, still refined, proud, and utterly untouchable. For the first time, she couldn't hide how she felt. With red eyes, she rasped, "We broke up ages ago." After a moment of stunned silence, he cursed. "Why are you crying? Your big brother will introduce you to someone better." He gripped her chin and smiled with wicked charm. "What do you think of your big brother?" "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes." Theme: After hardship comes the light
