Little Chong Mountain

QAQ I'm trying to build up my collection count and get on the rankings. Please don't remove this from your reading list! I'll update this after I finish the serial I'm working on. Locked chapters are being edited.

Before she turned twenty-one, Jiang Jiyue was the only daughter of a military family, cherished by her father, uncles, and elder brothers. She married Shen Huai, the elegant eldest prince of Nanze, who promised that she alone would share his bed.

After she turned twenty-one, her father, uncles, and brothers died in battle, leaving her alone. Her hypocritical husband betrayed her, allowing the enemy nation Beilan to designate her as a diplomatic bride and send her to the bitterly cold north.

Her health had always been poor. The long, rough journey, along with the Beilan escort's neglect, left her gravely ill, and she nearly died on the road. Then another group joined the procession escorting the diplomatic bride.

They said the man who saved her was Beilan's sixth prince, an unfavored son. They said half his blood was Nanze's, so he had no chance of inheriting Beilan's throne.

No chance?

"Your Highness, those people don't belong on the high platform. They belong beneath your feet."

He Xilie had long suspected that Jiang Jiyue was only weak on the surface. She seemed as though even a gust of snow-filled wind could startle her, yet behind that facade, she was full of lies.

She wasn't a timid white rabbit desperate to survive. She was a cunning fox who bewitched people's minds.

Her humble compliance at his side was only so she could use him to avenge her family, who had died in battle.

And yet she had no real flaws. A lone girl betrayed and abandoned, every choice she made was the most logical one available. Everything she said and did seemed perfectly ordinary.

But he should have known long ago: staying calm and making the right choice while surrounded by wolves was itself the most extraordinary thing of all. It was just that an invisible web of love had covered his eyes, and he could no longer see clearly.

Jiang Jiyue had three hatreds in her life.

Nanze. Shen Huai. Beilan.

He Xilie had three hatreds in his life.

Jiang Jiyue lied to him.

Jiang Jiyue didn't love him.

Jiang Jiyue didn't hate him.
