Princess Zhaoyang, Song Zhentang, was born with the beauty of an immortal, radiant as a spring crabapple.
Her royal parents treasure her like a precious jewel, afraid she might break in their hands or melt in their mouths. She can choose from all the young gentlemen in Chang’an.
But then she is promised to General Xiao Zhuo.
Unlike those handsome young gentlemen, Xiao Zhuo is a battle-hardened general who has killed countless people. He is as tall as a mountain, and his temperament is colder than the snowy mountains of the north.
No woman has ever dared approach him.
Everyone thinks they’re a bad match.
Xiao Zhuo included.
Xiao Zhuo joined the army when he was young and has always kept women at a distance. He has even less interest in a pampered little princess.
Three months into their marriage, he still hasn’t dared to touch Song Zhentang, afraid that the hand he uses to wield his sword might hurt the princess’s delicate skin.
Then one day, the princess invites a close female friend to the residence. Xiao Zhuo happens to pass by and overhears her quietly complain:
“Xiao Zhuo may look tall and mighty, but he’s all show and no substance...”
Xiao Zhuo’s eyes darken. That night, he clears his schedule of all official business, ready to have a serious talk with his little wife.
-
Later, at a palace banquet, Song Zhentang seems a little out of sorts. Her close friend quietly tells her that if Xiao Zhuo really can’t tell warmth from cold, she might as well live separately from him, and they can each do as they please.
Song Zhentang glances at Xiao Zhuo in the distance and blushes.
The man’s cool restraint is only for outsiders. In truth, the snowy mountains of the north have already melted for that precious spring crabapple.

The Foolish Beauty Runs Away from Her Wedding
A Qiao has had everything go her way for sixteen years. Then one day, she hears her parents discussing an engagement for her.
Her fiancé is none other than Xu Sunian, Prince Duanyang, a cruel and ruthless man who is said to be able to stop children from crying at night.
A Qiao is so frightened that she has nightmares all night and decides to run away from the wedding.
She secretly hires a carriage from a transport service and agrees to meet the driver on South Street at the fifth watch the next morning.
The next day, she takes her little bundle to West Street, where there is indeed a carriage.
A Qiao immediately climbs in, only to find someone inside.
Why is anyone still asleep at this hour? She goes over and shakes the driver awake, then threatens him. “Hurry up and go! Xu Sunian is coming!”
After traveling together for a while, A Qiao likes the driver more and more. He’s tall and handsome, and has a good temper, even if he’s a bit poor.
But that’s all right. A Qiao pats her little bundle. She has money.
Before long, her father and brothers come personally to catch her, surrounding her and the carriage.
A Qiao takes the man’s hand and bravely confesses to her father. “I want to marry him.”
Her father takes one look at the man beside his daughter and nearly faints. “You are...”
The man calmly blocks the girl’s escape route and smiles. “I am Xu Sunian.”
A directionally challenged, face-blind little fool and a scheming prince
Sweet romance

This is the first time I have read a scam novel. This... Ending is both sloppy and resigned. If the prince is provoked for something again, will it be over? After all, the prince becomes the emperor in the end. The prince separated from his family because he knew he was not the queen's biological child, and even took action against the family. In the end, he was exonerated purely out of guilt?
I'm so angry. Why is this going in the end? From the front, I really like this brother. Why do you want to break up such a good family? Such a good empress. Do you have to use this way to make the story have ups and downs?
Finally, this chapter has been updated many times, but the new chapter is far away, and I haven't asked for leave. Is there a bug in Jinjiang? As long as the author updates, there will be no penalty? Otherwise, why do this? Can the author give me a note and give an explanation to the readers? After all, we are all paid.
No update for eleven days without any reason -_-||
Can't you write it? Then at least take a leave of absence. We pay to read articles, and authors should also take their own responsibilities.
No, the prince is already sensitive, why do you do this? Mullet roe-_-||
Don't let the prince turn black, okay?
The queen must have been sincere and raised a white-eyed wolf for decades, and I'm afraid it will come back to bite her parents. I wonder if the queen will regret her choice then.
Does he know his life experience?
Such a small collection is really unreasonable. It makes me feel sick in my stomach. I like this kind of sour and sweet cookie. The emotional description is extremely delicate. The character of the little princess is really three-dimensional. I am completely immersed in the charm of the female goose! The author is so good at writing!
