The Ice-Cold Prince and His Charming Princess Consort (Qing Dynasty)

Lan Fohe transmigrated into the role of the second Princess Consort of Prince Li, Yinreng.

As the pampered second daughter of the Ula Nara clan, the empress's younger sister, and Emperor Yongzheng's sister-in-law, fifteen-year-old Lan Fohe figured that managing the former crown prince's household wouldn't be easy.

He'd once been the crown prince, honored above all others. Now he was Prince Li, entrusted with overseeing the government.

His household was ruled by beautiful concubines, and he had a whole brood of sons and daughters.

This young princess consort, who'd risen to her position halfway through the game, might as well have become the head of the household overnight.

Fine, then. She'd manage the household and make sure nobody caused trouble, while still enjoying her own life.

The problem was that the once-proud, high-spirited crown prince had become a mature, steady Prince Li.

He was meticulous in everything he did, and not a single court official dared cross him. Yet when he came home, he still wore that icy expression. She smiled at him, so why couldn't His Highness soften up and smile back?

Lan Fohe crouched behind a rockery, muttering to herself. No wonder everyone said the crown prince had never loved anyone, that he'd loved himself most of all his life. No woman could win his heart. Maybe even a young girl like her, who'd come along halfway through, had no chance.

Yinreng passed through the garden and heard someone cursing him behind the rockery.

He took a look and saw that it was his little princess consort.

Unable to resist a smile, he strode over.

The tall man drew his petite princess consort into his arms. "That isn't what you said last night, my dear. Last night, you sat on top of me and said..."

The girl in his arms was horrified. Blushing, she clapped a hand over his mouth.

Yinreng laughed, his gaze like melting snow, warm and shimmering, filled with an inviting hunger. "Little girl, let's try again. Tonight. Who knows, maybe you'll be the one I love most in this life."
