Also known as "Eastern Golden Branch"
1.
Qiao Ling was the youngest daughter of the elder Chao Ge who had been missing for more than ten years and was found very much. Unfortunately, the elder Ge suddenly contracted a serious illness and her days were short.
The remaining tigers, leopards, and wealth wolves in the family were looking at her with ferocious eyes, and there were no elders who could support her. Before his death, the elder Ge couldn't worry about her. He searched all over the capital for a suitable family for her, and wanted to protect his little daughter by hiring a married woman.
The descendants of various high-ranking families and clans... It's a pity that the elder passed away suddenly before he could find anyone he was very satisfied with.
After Mr. Ge's death, the family focused on Qiao Ling, a little lamb. They didn't want to see Qiao Ling's long-awaited stepmother and wanted to marry her off to a distant family.
When Qiao Ling was alone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had only met her once, came to her door in person and came forward to ask for Qiao Ling from her stepmother. He said that when the royal family was in decline, it was thanks to the support of the elder Ge. Now that the elder Ge has passed away, it is time for him to repay the favor. You might as well put your daughter in the East Palace and let him recognize her as his adopted sister. The crown prince of a country will always be able to protect her.
The prince is gentle and gentle, unparalleled in the world. He is a noble man in the sky and respected by the whole court.
The stepmother was helpless and allowed the prince to take her away forcefully.

Qiao Ling was saved by His Highness the Crown Prince from a life of fire and water. When she first met the Crown Prince, her heart skipped a beat and she had a good impression of him. She felt that he was a kind-hearted person with a golden face.
She followed the prince back to the East Palace, thanking him and wanting to have a good relationship with him.
The prince treated her very well, always asking for questions and greetings.
He made kites and kites with her, built waterside pavilions and Yaotai for her, and collected all the treasures in the world and gave them to her so that she would not have any worries.
The prince pampered her so innocently that she was more noble than any princess in the royal family.
Even too good, he would sit on her bedside late at night to see if she was sleeping well.
Sometimes she would wake up with a start, and he would touch her face late at night, hiding his crazy paranoia in his eyes, and say: "As long as Ah Ling doesn't leave, I will protect you forever."
Ah Ling was her nickname, but she vaguely felt that his love and care was a little too much, and she was a little frightened.
Until I accidentally heard that the prince once had someone who was close to his heart. The woman looked very similar to her. The prince treated her well, but he just used her as a substitute.
Feeling sad, Qiao Ling didn't want to be confused and wanted to find him to find out and settle things.
Just as the prince was out on business, Qiao Ling accidentally broke into the forbidden room of the East Palace and saw the memorial tablet of his late wife set up by the prince.

Qiao Ling always thought that she was lucky. Even though she was used as a substitute by the prince, she still enjoyed his favoritism and care.
Until those forgotten memories came back one after another: she had secretly admired the prince for several years, the love note she wrote to him was exposed to the world, she was made to kneel for a whole day by the former unmarried prince, she was humiliated and pointed out, her reputation was ruined, and she was so frustrated that she was finally forced to commit suicide by throwing herself into a lake.
Qiao Ling woke up with a start, and all the forgotten memories were recovered. She finally clearly remembered what it was like to go through all the heart-breaking experiences in the past.
…
That night, Qiao Ling packed her bags and ran away from the East Palace.
