The Eastern Palace's Hidden Beauty

[Pre-release title: Crossing Over to Conquer the Demon: They say a demon's tears can let him be reborn, while a goddess's tears only bring her endless tribulations by lightning.]

Here is this novel's blurb:

Wei Zhao entered the palace at six and could leave at sixteen.

The years in the palace were hard to endure, yet she wore a smile all day long.

Until one day, the Crown Prince got drunk and made her his bedchamber maid.

Everyone said she was lucky, that she had risen from a lowly branch to become a phoenix.

But she knew the Crown Prince didn't like her.

Every night, he tormented her in bed in every way he could, then ignored her once he got up.

Wei Zhao drank bowl after bowl of contraceptive soup. People in the palace had always fawned over the powerful and bullied the weak. A palace maid of low birth, with no children to rely on, could be humiliated and harassed by anyone.

Her only hope was that once the Crown Prince married, she could leave the palace and reunite with her parents.

The Crown Prince, Zhu Yu, had the looks of an immortal and an air of nobility.

Everything in the world was under his control, until he began to desire a palace maid.

He sneered at her lowly birth, yet couldn't stop following her with his eyes.

Then news came that Wei Zhao had fled the palace.

The Crown Prince gazed at the empty room, his voice gentle, though not the slightest trace of a smile reached his eyes.

"Run? Where do you think you can go?"

"If you don't behave, I'll lock up your hands and feet and keep you by my side for the rest of your life."

In the palace maid Wei Zhao's eyes, she was of humble birth, had no special talents, and possessed only a pretty face.

The Crown Prince, Zhu Yu, was skilled at riding and archery, well versed in music, and brave and martial.

Handsome and distinguished, with the noble bearing of the sun and stars.

The gulf in status between them was like an impassable chasm.

So even after she was carried into the Eastern Palace, she still couldn't understand:

How could the Crown Prince, who had never cared for romance or women, personally ask the emperor for her hand in marriage?

[They say a demon's tears can let him be reborn.

A goddess's tears, however, only bring her endless tribulations by lightning.]

A demon appeared in the mortal world, and the Holy Maiden of Kunlun's Immortal Palace descended the mountain to subdue him.

For a good person to become a Buddha, they must overcome eighty-one trials. For an evil person, all it takes is laying down the butcher's knife.

Picking up the knife is easy. Putting it down is hard.

The demon said, "I am willing to lay down my knife, but I have one condition."

"I heard Kunlun's Immortal Palace has a Book of Reincarnation, which records the reincarnations of every mortal."

"I want you to help me find the reincarnation of someone."

"Whose reincarnation?"

"My bride's."

"And what will you do once you find her?"

"There is something I want to tell her."

The Holy Maiden had never believed that a demon would go through untold hardship to find his bride from a past life just to tell her a single thing.

The demon had never believed that a Holy Maiden would give up the chance to ascend almost all the way to immortality and descend into the mortal world just to subdue a demon.

Theme: Break free from the shackles of feudal convention and accept that love knows no social rank.
