After a Night of Passion with the Cold Crown Prince

◎ The cool, restrained Crown Prince × the carefree princess

If your childhood friend were poisoned by a love potion and there were no other way to save him, would you sacrifice yourself?

Chu Lingyu did, but kept it a secret.

Because Wei Qingjue was her sworn elder brother. He had doted on and cherished her since childhood, and there was no romantic love between them.

Late one night, Wei Qingjue woke with a start again.

The woman in his dream, completely naked, was unmistakably... his sworn younger sister.

He was filled with guilt. Lingyu was beautiful, but she was like a younger sister to him. How could he defile her?

Night after night, he lost himself in drunken dreams without realizing it.

·

At the Mid-Autumn Festival, the royal family held a grand banquet.

The emperor declared that he would choose a crown princess for Wei Qingjue.

He gave a cold laugh in his heart, yet looked toward Chu Lingyu.

He saw his sworn younger sister smiling brightly, her red lips parting to say one thing.

In an instant, the mountains and rivers lost their color, and he felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.

She said, "Congratulations, Big Brother!"

·

After ascending the throne, he exhausted every means to keep Chu Lingyu confined in the imperial palace.

One day, she disappeared.

The emperor was so furious that he nearly left a trail of corpses in his wake.

In the depths of his despair, he saw her return, beaming and holding a skewer of candied hawthorns. Wei Qingjue gently held her, afraid he might lose control and hurt her.

Chu Lingyu threw her arms around him. Seeing his bloodshot eyes, she complained softly, "I just went out to buy a skewer of candied hawthorns. Why are you getting angry?"

Wei Qingjue: "...It was my fault."
