After the Cold-Faced Crown Prince Set His Sights on Me

Bao Zhu was, like her maternal aunt, the most honest and unassuming person in the imperial palace.

When Bao Zhu was six, her birth mother died of illness. Her stepmother was unkind, and her father was no good, so her maternal aunt, Consort Su, took pity on her and brought her into the palace.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout those ten years, Bao Zhu tried to emulate her aunt in every way. She kept a low profile and never tried to outshine anyone. Though she ran into a few bumps along the way, her life was fairly peaceful.

Bao Zhu's greatest wish was to marry her aunt's son, her cousin, the Seventh Prince, and continue living a peaceful life.

Her cousin was a few months younger than her and had a frail constitution. Among the princes, he was unremarkable and had never been interested in power.

Her aunt said that once spring came, she would ask the emperor to grant them permission to marry.

Bao Zhu was overjoyed.

But right at that moment, an absurd rumor suddenly began to spread.

It claimed that she and Crown Prince Li Zhao were having an affair and would soon be married.

The crown prince was an extraordinary man. He had achieved great things while still young, and was stern and upright by nature. Even as heir apparent, he had already earned the title of the future Great Yong's harshest ruler.

It was said that he was fair and strict in all matters, and would even have guilty officials beaten in open court. He could not tolerate the slightest flaw.

Horrified, Bao Zhu rushed to the Eastern Palace to explain, despite the late hour.

But it was too dark, and she tripped near the palace and fell unconscious.

She woke up in the Eastern Palace, opening her eyes to find herself facing Crown Prince Li Zhao's deep gaze.

After that, the rumors grew even more vicious.

Bao Zhu could never figure out why, until the night of her wedding to the crown prince...

As she wept from discomfort, she finally got her answer from Li Zhao's unrestrained words in bed.

He was the one who spread the rumors!

And he had made them come true.
