[Blurb]

The Second Miss Feng was born frail and sent away from the capital to recuperate. She wasn't brought back to the Grand Tutor's residence until she came of age.

In public, she was timid and cowardly, and not up to any important task.

Feng Huixue scoffed at that. "That's what people say about the Grand Tutor's daughter. What does it have to do with me, Feng Huixue?"

With Crown Prince Wei's birthday approaching, the emperor and empress intended to select a noble young lady to become the crown princess.

For her own ends, Feng Huixue abandoned her usual ways and showed her mettle in public for the first time.

At a grand palace banquet, an attention-seeker tried to attract the crown prince's notice.

Seeing this, she gave a quiet laugh, then changed into her dance costume without hurrying.

After the dance, she bowed gracefully and looked straight into Su Ji's deep phoenix eyes.

Everyone saw Su Ji curl his lips, then request an imperial decree to marry her in front of the entire court.

Feng Huixue had thought she had won his true affection, but it turned out he had other motives too.

On their wedding night, Su Ji abruptly gripped the woman's chin and said cryptically, "Now that you're in the Eastern Palace, behave yourself. Don't cause trouble."

At his words, she lowered her eyes and quietly replied, "Yes."

Beneath her lashes, her eyes were calm and still, with a hint of calculation.

After the wedding, the people of the imperial capital often saw precious medicinal herbs being delivered to the Eastern Palace.

Then someone in the know revealed that the dance at the palace banquet had been choreographed by the crown princess herself, despite her illness.

Everyone understood. So they were deeply in love after all.

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Palace's rear courtyard,

Feng Huixue looked at the roomful of medicinal herbs and couldn't help but laugh coldly.

She and Su Ji were obviously putting on an act. What kind of deep love was that?

Facing the threat of her identity being exposed, Feng Huixue quietly swallowed the poison pill.

Over the next several days, her condition worsened.

Su Ji saw everything, maintaining his composed expression and continuing to keep his guard up around her.

But in private, he searched everywhere for renowned doctors and remedies.

The noble crown prince, as lofty as the moon in the heavens, set aside his customary pride and knelt before Buddha to pray with all his heart.

[Coming Soon]

Whenever people spoke of the Seventh Princess of Yue, Nan Louyu, they could only sigh.

When she was born, a priest of the Qingjue Sect prophesied that the princess was destined for calamity and might not live a long life.

Only by living in seclusion, far from the imperial family, could she escape that fate.

From then on, Nan Louyu lived at the Qingjue Sect, never leaving the mountain for ten years and never showing her true face.

Ten years later, a portrait of Nan Louyu accidentally began circulating.

The woman in the painting was strikingly beautiful and alluring, yet her watery eyes were utterly calm, betraying not a trace of emotion.

The portrait was presented to the new emperor of Li. The ruler, rumored to be warm and refined, lazily lifted his eyelids and said with a playful smile, "The princess is a peerless beauty. I find myself thinking of her often."

Everyone knew that this new emperor had long been at odds with Yue.

He had been sent to Yue as a hostage in childhood and kept under house arrest for ten years.

How could he truly care for Nan Louyu?

But Li was flourishing, no longer what it had once been. The emperor of Yue had no choice but to send his beloved, innocent daughter away, no matter how unwilling he was.

When the news reached the Qingjue Sect, Nan Louyu nodded, her face devoid of sorrow or joy. For once, a complicated emotion flickered in her usually placid eyes.

On their wedding night, the man slowly loosened her sash. Nan Louyu sat obediently, then suddenly spoke. "Your Majesty has kept your secrets well."

"Perhaps I should call you Senior Brother?"
