Crown Prince Cousin

New update: I've decided to hang in there and finish the whole story. I'll be doing a major revision of 100,000 characters in total. I've revised 30,000 characters so far, up to Chapter 61. Don't read pirated copies, and don't subscribe yet. I'll update this story after finishing the short amnesia story.

Sui Ning lost both her parents when she was young. Fortunately, her cousin, the Crown Prince, doted on her and raised her in the Eastern Palace.

The Crown Prince was cheerful and sincere, treating her like his own sister and protecting her fiercely. Even when the other princes gave him a hard time, he never forgot to send her gifts.

Everyone knew she was in love with the Crown Prince.

Everyone expected the cousins to become a couple. But one day, the Crown Prince suddenly brought home a woman who was always at odds with him. The two bickered nonstop, and the Eastern Palace instantly came alive. Even the Crown Prince's wet nurse, who disliked the woman, couldn't help remarking that the old tree had finally blossomed.

But Sui Ning was still his most cherished younger sister. She had the best food, clothes, and treatment in the Eastern Palace.

The day the Crown Prince paced with his hands behind his back and told the old nurse he wanted to marry, Sui Ning smiled and wished him a lifetime of happiness.

That night, she didn't return to her side chamber. She stood alone by the bridge railing for a long time, then a maid saw her jump into the lotus pond.

The Eastern Palace stayed lit all night. When Sui Ning was rescued, she was unconscious. The Crown Prince was heartbroken and stayed by her side for three whole days.

When that woman came to visit Sui Ning, she had caught a cold and was leaning in the Crown Prince's arms, coughing nonstop.

Even when the woman casually asked why she'd fallen into the water in the middle of the night, Sui Ning only lowered her lashes and trembled silently as the Crown Prince frowned and told the woman to be quiet.

The woman left, swallowing her grievances. Sui Ning closed her eyes.

She thought, Miss Xiao, you can't beat me. My cousin will inherit the throne, and the empress should be someone of even higher status.

Soft, delicate, and feared by others, a parasitic vine flower. That was the description Sui Ning received from Prince Shen.

Reader's Guide: The male lead has no romantic experience. This is a traditional household-intrigue story featuring the white-lotus cousin trope. The heroine is the hero's biggest career supporter, a true fan who only wants him to ascend the throne.

Upcoming story: Yue Shao

One day, Yue Shao knelt in a temple before a statue of a deity, praying for good luck.

"I've worked hard to earn merit and done plenty of good deeds. I don't know why I'm always the unlucky one."

The fraudulent monk beside her asked, "Most people have a mix of good and bad luck. Do you know why you're the only one who gets unlucky?"

Yue Shao answered sincerely, "I don't know. All I did was overturn my father's funeral altar, beat up my younger sister's maid, kick a scumbag in the crotch, and burn down half the family estate..."

The monk choked. What was she, the reincarnation of a hell-raiser?

There's one thing Yue Shao left out: She's a genuine fox spirit.
