Yu Cang x Pei Huaiyan
Ruthless enemy empress x beautiful third prince with a hidden dark side
"Huai Sheng has an old saying: 'The southern snake, the northern fox.' In truth, the rulers fear Feng Yuan and Bi Yuan. They call Bi Yuan women, who excel at poison, seductive snake-women, and Feng Yuan women, who excel at the art of the eyes, fox spirits."
"Pei Huaiyan, do the people of Huai Sheng know that their third prince serves others with his beauty?"
-
The most beautiful person in the palace was always sickly and indifferent to worldly affairs: the third prince. Once, he spent a wild, passionate night with a strange woman.
When they met again, she stood against him, having become the "wife" the royal family had chosen for him.
Before long, he uncovered a secret.
The King of Danxiang, a feared enemy said to be terrifying enough to silence crying children, and even feared by his own father, was a woman.
And she was a woman who had captured his heart and left him utterly bewitched.
All of Pei Huaiyan's schemes, plans, and secrets came to nothing before her. All that remained was his half-open collar, his belt ornaments scattered across the floor, and the corners of his eyes, red from crying.
Later, he willingly let the ice parasite take root in his body for her sake, and even gave himself up as a hostage, traveling to her country.
Yu Cang, King of Danxiang in Feng Yuan, prided herself on being poisonous, cunning, and cold as iron. In the pursuit of power, everything else was beneath her, and there was nothing she would not use.
Until she fell into the trap called "Pei Huaiyan."
Before the Empress of Huai Sheng died, she mocked Yu Cang: "The imperial family is the most heartless of all. How can you be sure Pei Huaiyan hasn't been using you from the very beginning?"
Yu Cang didn't care. "If he can go that far, then his heart is harder than mine. I'll accept it."
One night, in the warmth of their bedchamber, she brought up those last words as a joke.
Pei Huaiyan buried his face against her neck, sounding utterly aggrieved. "Don't believe her. Whatever you want, I can give it to you."
The throne, the realm, everything he had, he would give it all.
Yu Cang had only this one caged swallow. He could break his wings for her, or take flight for her.
Male lead with female love interests, mutual devotion, one-on-one happy ending.
Theme: Even when the one you love is separated from you by mountains and seas, they can all be crossed.
