Pampered by the Crown Prince

A new story is now underway. Please head over and read The Eldest Princess's Laid-Back Daily Life.

-- [A Reborn, Clear-Eyed Eldest Princess x A Coldhearted, Cunning Powerbroker, Prince Ding'an]

Blurb:

Gu Jiao, the daughter of a general, was raised in the Eastern Palace by Crown Prince Li Qian from childhood. The two spent every day together.

Three years ago, during the battle at Mocheng, Li Qian arrived too late. Gu Jiao lost both her parents and resolved to cut ties with him for good, shutting herself away for three years.

Gu Lan submitted a memorial insisting on resigning as chancellor and taking his family far from political strife. Li Qian let the rumors spread, using them as an excuse to keep Gu Jiao in the palace as his consort.

Gu Jiao fell in love with the boy she had known as Brother Li Qian, and their feelings grew ever stronger.

On the eve of her coronation as empress, Gu Lan vanished, and all signs pointed to Li Qian. Gu Jiao abandoned the coronation ceremony and left the capital to save her brother and uncover the truth. Their relationship reached an impasse.

Returning to Mocheng, where it had all begun, Gu Jiao unexpectedly discovered the mastermind behind everything. The truth about the battle at Mocheng slowly came to light.

The mastermind laid a trap for Gu Jiao in Mocheng. Unwilling to let Li Qian come there to die, she resolved to take her own life atop the city wall.

Li Qian personally led an expedition, determined to save Gu Jiao and prevent the tragedy of the past from happening again.

Looking back, they were childhood sweethearts, a perfect match in every way, yet forced apart. They held each other's hands and gazed at one another, only to shed tears in helpless sorrow.

The empire, its beautiful women: are we truly destined to meet without ever being able to stay together? Or will we eventually hold hands for a lifetime?

Please add my new story to your library:

Qi Zhiyuan is the only legitimate princess of An, cherished by everyone since childhood.

When she was eight, her mother and elder brother died one after another. Her father confined her to Yongning Palace for ten years.

As the struggle between imperial power and the great clans grew ever fiercer, eighteen-year-old Qi Zhiyuan became a pawn her father used to keep Xie Munan in check.

On the emperor's declaration that they were "truly a perfect match," Qi Zhiyuan was granted the title of Eldest Princess of Zhennan and married off to Xie Munan.

In the two years after their wedding, they rarely saw each other. Qi Zhiyuan wanted to improve their relationship, but Xie Munan was a coldhearted man by nature.

She could never warm his heart.

He never saw her kindness.

When a prince unexpectedly launched a coup, the innocent Eldest Princess of Zhennan, so obsessed with propriety, was caught up in it and died tragically at her residence.

At death's door, Qi Zhiyuan made the first plea of her life, only to receive a resolute reply: "There is no need for us to meet."

When she awoke from her dream, Qi Zhiyuan had been reborn two years in the past. She vowed to stay far away from the whirlpool of political power struggles.

Little did she know, she was already caught up in the game.

The emperor died suddenly, leaving the throne up for grabs.

The next day, three edicts were issued from the palace.

First edict: The late emperor's fifth son, Qi Shijing, is to ascend the throne.

Second edict: The late emperor's legitimate daughter, Qi Zhiyuan, is to be granted the title of Eldest Princess of Fenyang.

Third edict: Prince Ding'an, Xie Munan, is to be appointed regent.

Reader's note:

1. Both leads are each other's only partner, and this is a one-on-one romance. The heroine is gentle and delicate; the hero is refined and mild-mannered.

2. A sweet romance, not a political court intrigue.

3. The setting is an imaginary dynasty, entirely fictional.

Theme: A good match is rare, true love is hard to find, so cherish the present.
