My Royal Brother Insists on Loving Me

Gong Yishu was a burden her mother, a Noble Consort, brought into the palace. After her mother died, the emperor set his sights on her. With nowhere else to turn, she sought help from the crown prince.

That night, rain poured down. The girl's wet bangs clung to her cheeks, making her look utterly pitiful.

The crown prince gave her a casual glance and, for once, felt a pang of compassion.

With his help, Gong Yishu gained the protection of the Grand Empress Dowager. She lived safely in the imperial retreat for three years and found someone she loved, with whom she promised to spend her life.

When the crown prince heard about it, he asked only one question: "Are you sure you want to marry him?"

Gong Yishu nodded firmly.

The crown prince's expression was indifferent. He said nothing more.

Yet on the second day after the crown prince ascended the throne, he stripped Gong Yishu of her title as princess, demoted her to commoner, annulled her engagement, and imprisoned her deep within the palace...

No one knew what kind of torture the new emperor used. Now and then, the palace attendants on night watch could hear her faint pleas drifting out from behind the bed curtains.

How pitiful.
