Liang Zhi was a princess of Great Chu who had seen every kind of palace intrigue, but she'd never encountered anyone so shameless.
She caught him with a maid, the two of them deeply in love, a perfect pair. The maid had climbed into another man's bed, and when Liang Zhi turned around, she saw him holding her fourth sister in his arms.
Her fourth sister was sent off to marry far away, and he wouldn't even visit her once. The princess went to find him and said, "You really are heartless."
Yao Xian sat calmly beneath the parasol tree, took a sip of tea, and replied without a hint of anger or joy:
"Since the princess has brought it up, I won't deceive you. I was sent to Chu alone, like a discarded pawn, long ago."
His voice seemed to drift from afar. "The state of Yuan is weak. All that remains is endless torment."
He said he was adrift and had no one to rely on, living in constant fear. He was only looking for someone powerful to shelter him, so that if his country ever fell, he might at least cling to his miserable life.
Yao Xian was dressed in white as pure as snow, with a face like jade and such extraordinary beauty that it was a terrible waste.
So the princess glanced at him and asked, "Then do you want to be my favorite male consort?"
Yao Xian: "..."

To Yao Xian, the ways of the human heart and political maneuvering were merely tools to climb to power. Love was like a flower reflected in a mirror or the moon reflected in water.
A trusted aide once told him, "The moment you ascend the throne, you'll have to sever all ties of love. You mustn't have any weakness others can use to control you. Your Highness, are you ready?"

Naive yet clearheaded princess × indifferent yet gentle hostage prince
Fictional setting, with institutions modeled on the Warring States period
Theme: Love yourself
The writing is really good and the plot is very attractive. It feels like it could be made into a TV series. Such good writing in Jinjiang is not popular. Instead, the only ones on the list are those writers who are elementary school students in Zhuji.
Come over and take a look from time to time. My wife knows how to write it. It doesn't matter if it is updated by chance. It will be a surprise if it is updated one day [Spread Flowers]

Teacher, you must not cheat me, I'm waiting for the end 😭
Wow updated! Happy New Year's Eve
Teacher, when will you come back? 😭

Wuwuwuwu, continue to smoke in the glass slag. Please don't give up. I really read it every day. I like the little princess so much.
After reading it for the fourth time, I checked in and asked not to ask the teacher to update, but to remember Liang Zhi and Yao Xian, and not to give up. .
