Princess Xiao Lanyi, the apple of everyone's eye, had skin as fair as snow and beauty like a flower. She was spoiled and willful. Then the truth of her birth came to light: she was the coachman's daughter, while the real princess had been abandoned among the common people, forced to serve as a slave, and made to endure countless hardships.
After reclaiming her identity, the real princess demanded that Xiao Lanyi be sent to a temple to "repent through hard labor," wearing coarse clothes and eating plain food, to repay the luxury and splendor she had enjoyed for sixteen years, none of which had been rightfully hers.
Xiao Lanyi: I break out in a rash if I wear old silk. Are you trying to kill me?
Her dark eyes welled with tears. She picked up the bright yellow crown prince's robe beside her, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and gently dabbed at her tears.
Crown Prince: "..."
Crown Prince Xiao Heng was cool and aloof, incomparably distinguished, and yet the only person he couldn't handle was the spoiled Princess Mingzhu. She had never been obedient and was so arrogant that she didn't even take him, the crown prince, seriously.
When he first heard the news, he thought coolly: Mingzhu is spoiled. This is a good chance to make her suffer a little and teach her some discipline.
Who could have known that she would be audacious enough to escape from the Huangjue Temple? When he caught her, she'd sprained her ankle and was lying pitifully on the ground, looking up at him.
Her black hair and snow-white skin, tears hanging at the corners of her eyes: a vulnerability and docility he had never seen before.
Xiao Heng's gaze darkened, and he swept her into his arms.
