East Palace Spring Affair

The scheming beauty vs. The gentle and mad prince Everyone in Chang'an City knows that the current prince Li Yao is a very good person, as gentle as jade, a benevolent gentleman, and any kitten or puppy that touches his feet will be properly treated and comforted. ——It's all fake. Only Song Qiuse knew his secret. Three years ago... I remember it was a spring rainy night. Song Qiuse was hiding behind the door. I saw him holding an umbrella and helping his cousin off the horse. He was talking and laughing, full of love and farewell. But when his cousin turned around and hid in the house, he suppressed his smile and threw away the umbrella, as if he had wiped off a mask. Amid the flash of swords and shadows, he personally led his secret guards to massacre everyone. Blood seeped into the muddy ground. A bolt of lightning tore through the sky, reflecting his pale face that looked like the jade-faced Yama. Song Qiuse, who was all wet, was caught by him from behind the door and imprisoned in a dark room, never to see the light of day. Every night when I dreamed about it, I would see burning red candles in my eyes, loose and heavy shackles on my wrists, and the prince with a cold expression next to the bed. Long after she escaped, the sound of the clinking of shackles could still be heard from time to time in her dreams. … Three years later, they met and pretended not to know each other. He wants to choose a concubine. She wants to discuss marriage. They shouldn't have crossed paths again, but every time she looked at that familiar face, she couldn't help but think of the moments when they got along in the darkroom. The red candles and shackles in the darkroom intertwined to become her inner demon, causing her to sink day after day. Finally, on the same muddy rainy night, Song Qiuse could no longer restrain her impulse. Holding a lotus lantern in her hand, she stepped into the East Palace alone, opened the door and entered his crypt. Li Yao looked at her with burning eyes: "How dare you come?" In three years, Song Qiuse was no longer as timid and soft as before. She became the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City. She had a graceful appearance and eyes filled with autumn water. She said with a sarcastic smile: "My life has been difficult these years, why do you have it easy?" The prince once again lit a room of red candles for her: "Who said I'm better off... I'm not better off until you're here." ———————— Pre-collection of "The Substitute Bride" Jiang Yu, the Marquis of Su'an who had great military exploits, was ordered to return to Beijing to get married. It was said that he was cruel, ruthless, and murderous, and no woman who climbed into his bed had to come out in full. The legitimate daughter of the Shen family who was given a marriage was so frightened that she fell ill. Father Shen felt sorry for his beloved, so he dug out a concubine from a corner of the house. The Shen family was prosperous, and their children could line up to go around the garden. Shen Fang had been hiding in her small garden, eating and waiting to die for more than ten years. Because of a face that was too similar to her sister-in-law, she got married to a noble family in vain. On the night of the wedding, there was only a formality. Jiang Yu didn't even lift his hijab and rushed to the border all night long. The Hou Mansion was deserted and overgrown with weeds, and she was alone, lonely and indifferent... Shen Fanghao cried, crying with joy. The tiger is not at home, and the monkey is the king. The huge Hou Mansion has become Shen Fanghao's talk hall, and he can do whatever he wants. When the battle at the border was over, Jiang Yu returned to Beijing and as soon as he entered his house, he was dazzled by the gaudy courtyard. He married a wife who is very tolerant. Jiang Yu was promoted to a noble rank, and Shen Fang, as the Marquis's wife, was appointed to the throne, and she was unparalleled in honor and favor. Everyone in the capital was jealous, and the eldest sister of the Shen family wanted to bring things back into order, accusing Shen Fanghao of being a thief who stole her marriage. If Shen Fanghao refused to give in, he smiled coldly and accused his family of bullying. The crime is linked to the nine clans, but the married daughter is not among the nine clans. However, if Jiang Yu divorces her after learning the truth, she will still not be able to escape the fate of being punished. Shen Fanghao was waiting for the final verdict in the Hou Mansion. Jiang Yu went back to the house and, as usual, turned his back to her and took off his official uniform. He said lukewarmly: "On the day we got married, the hijab was not lifted, the wine was not mixed, and the marriage was not consummated, so it doesn't count." Oh, so she's going to jail... Jiang Yu pretended to cough slightly, and then said: "The emperor said, choose an auspicious day, hold the wedding, and bring your birth date... Don't fool people with your sister-in-law, what I want is you - Shen Fanghao." —————— Pre-collection of "The True Daughter's Revenge" Gu Shiqing is the legitimate daughter of Marquis Changxing. The nanny who delivered the baby had malicious intentions and deliberately slipped the package and stole her identity. It wasn't until the truth came out fifteen years later that she was taken back to the Hou Mansion. As she should, Gu Shiqing accepted everything that should belong to her - her noble status, generous dowry, decent marriage, and young and promising husband. She has a soft and kind nature, and feels that now that everything is back on track, there is no need to dwell on the past. Therefore, when the Marquis decided to continue raising the fake daughter, she had no objection. She didn't feel anything was wrong when the fake daughter was her equal and her sister. When everyone in the family favored the fake daughter, she was just a little sad and not alert. It wasn't until one day when the fake daughter sneaked into her room, lay on her bed, wore her clothes, and slept with her husband that Gu Shiqing finally realized something was wrong. It's a pity it's too late. Gu Shiqing's methods were fierce and straightforward, and he tried his best, but still couldn't defeat the fake daughter. Instead, he gained a reputation as a jealous woman and became the laughing stock of the entire capital. After that, gradually, everything she gained was lost. Her parents hated her, her husband abandoned her, and her dowry was robbed. She knelt in the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion and told her father with tears in her eyes: "I am the daughter of the Hou Mansion, your biological daughter, and everything should belong to me." But her father told her coldly: "Only what the Hou Mansion gives you is yours. If the Hou Mansion doesn't give it to you, you can't take it away." Gu Shiqing suddenly realized that it was not just the fake daughter who was a bitch, but the whole family. She was infected with a strange poison and died of illness. She thought that her life, which was like a joke, would end in such an embarrassing way. Unexpectedly, she had a chance to open her eyes again. After re-living his life, Gu Shiqing learned from the pain. After deep introspection and planning, he decided—— Leave no one behind! ———————— Intention: Sincerity is always a must-win skill
