Love's Sorrow: The Concubine Who Couldn't Escape

A princess? This prince won’t marry her. She may be of noble birth, but she’s willful and headstrong, and not as gentle and virtuous as his concubines! She is a princess, and she doesn’t have to marry him. She only got involved to help him chase a killer, but her good intentions set off a fateful romance. The humiliation of being made a concubine causes her mother to disown her. Her rival in love is the beloved daughter of the Grand Tutor, who shares his passion for music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is also the old madam’s chosen daughter-in-law. The two women enter the household on the same day, but one is in heaven while the other is in hell. How can an overlooked wife fight for her place? She has no desire to compete for his favor, yet she is dragged into the rivalry, bullied and framed. When she can take no more, she chooses to run away… He is a prince with power over all under heaven. The one thing he cannot tolerate is betrayal. While away with his troops, he receives a letter from home: the princess he married less than three months ago has eloped with another man. In his fury, he vows to bring her back at any cost… When did his trusted right-hand man become his rival in love? He thought his heart had grown so hard that nothing could move it. But as he is drawn, step by step, into the smiles she scatters without a thought, everything quietly changes… (This story will break your heart, hehe. If you like it, stick with it!)
