The Eastern Palace Pillow [Coming in 2026]

[Sweet-faced but secretly ruthless, falsely virtuous, supposedly frail Crown Prince X beautiful, pampered, haughty Crown Princess]

Xie Xiao is the legitimate daughter of the Xie clan of Chen Commandery, pampered and extravagant.

Song Qingxuan is a gentle, frail Crown Prince, aloof and taciturn.

Bound by a marriage contract, Xie Xiao entered the Eastern Palace in tears.

Her parents comforted her: the Crown Prince was frail and likely had little time left. Once he died of his illness, they would find a way to bring her back to the Xie family and marry her to a suitable husband.

But she waited and waited. Three years had passed, so why hadn't the Crown Prince died yet?

After seeing another couple's loving relationship at a banquet, Xie Xiao finally couldn't take it anymore.

"His Highness and I don't get along. Let's part on good terms and get a divorce."

Song Qingxuan smiled gently, coughing violently. "Crown Princess, don't be ridiculous."

Seeing him looking half-dead, Xie Xiao was so furious she nearly fainted.

Determined to get a divorce, she blurted out, "You can pretend all you like, even fool yourself, but do you really think we're some loving couple? You're all show and no substance, a silver-tipped wax spear. Hmph! Every time, you only care about your own pleasure. What do you care if I'm left to suffer?"

And because of the Crown Prince's illness, he would always call it quits after just one round. Xie Xiao was dissatisfied with absolutely everything about him.

Song Qingxuan's face darkened, and he suddenly fainted.

The entire Eastern Palace descended into chaos. "Someone, come quickly! The Crown Princess made His Highness faint!"

Xie Xiao was so angry she wanted to faint too. She turned to leave and walked straight into a corner of the wall.

Song Qingxuan had never liked ostentation or extravagance, and his pleasure-loving, lavish Crown Princess was the worst offender.

A husband and wife should treat each other with mutual respect. He could put up with her, but she was the first to ask for a divorce.

Unexpectedly, one day she lost her memory and remembered only how deeply devoted they were to each other.

Song Qingxuan studied the delicate Crown Princess before him. She blinked up at him, pouting as she complained, "Husband, give me a hug. Why did you take so long to come see me?"

His expression grew complicated. After a long pause, he drew her into his arms. "Your husband was wrong."

When Xie Xiao remembered the past, she was both embarrassed and furious. Thinking of all the outrageous things she'd done to the Crown Prince while she had amnesia, and how she'd begged him for sex every day, she was so mortified that she ran back to her parents' home in the middle of the night. What a shameless swindler, taking advantage of her when she'd lost her memory.

He chased after her. His usually gentle eyes were filled with gloom, and he showed not the slightest sign of illness as he pinned her to the bed.

"You bastard, I want a divorce."

"There has never been a Crown Princess who divorced her husband. They only die of illness."

"Aaaah! I want to strangle you!" That shameless, lecherous dog of a Crown Prince had actually threatened her.

Song Qingxuan reached for the hem of Xie Xiao's skirt and said unhurriedly, "What's the point of strangling me? Wouldn't it be better to punish me by making me serve the Crown Princess?"

Reader's guide: Both leads are each other's first and only partners. The male lead is a bastard, so just wait for him to grovel and win his wife back, hehe. No angst, just a super sweet story, with a lighthearted, everyday feel! Older man, 25 x 19.
