The Crown Prince's Concubine

Yinqiao was only a courtesan in the Liu household. At first, she was a gift from Minister Liu to win over the Fourth Prince, Xiao Yinqi.

He took her but gave her no thought. She was merely a pawn in the alliance between powerful ministers, a speck of dust.

"Will Your Highness come for me? This servant has feelings for you." Before he left that night, she knelt beneath his carriage, gazing up at him with hope in her eyes, her graceful waist softly curved.

She had given herself to him because she had no choice, but she also knew that before long he would be made Crown Prince, win the succession struggle, and ascend the throne. She could secure a way out for herself through him.

Xiao Yinqi gave no reply and paid her no attention. He climbed into his carriage without even glancing her way.

A courtesan. A mere pawn.

He had the beauty of an immortal, yet his very bones seemed to exude arrogance and cold indifference, making her feel lower than dust.

Despondent, Yinqiao came up with a plan: pretend to be pregnant.

Helpless, Xiao Yinqi had no choice but to bring her into the prince's residence.

At first, he treated her poorly and showed her little warmth. Yinqiao didn't mind and cared for him attentively, always asking after his health and tending to his needs.

Once she had used him to find out where her younger sister and mother were, she made her escape and vanished.

When Xiao Yinqi, who was preparing for his wedding, heard the news, he left the Eastern Palace dressed in red.

He paid no heed to the astonished guests filling the hall or the palace attendants exchanging bewildered looks.

"I don't care what methods you use. Find her for me! If you don't, you'll all answer with your heads!" His expression was cold, and the hand gripping his riding crop trembled.

The Imperial Guards kneeling before him didn't dare speak. The Crown Prince had gone mad!

☆ Both leads are sexually inexperienced. Lots of melodrama.
