The Idle Prince Has Long Had His Eye on His Wife

She is the only daughter of Yun Tian, the famed master of Yun Valley, renowned throughout the land for his medical skills and wealth. She is also the betrothed of the young lord of Fengyun Manor, a powerful family that designs weapons for the royal house. Their marriage was arranged when they were infants. Her mother died, and her father followed her in death, leaving her all alone. In an instant, she fell from heaven into hell. She took refuge at Fengyun Manor, only to be divorced on the very day her fiancé took over as its lord. The world waited to laugh at her, but in Fengyun Hall she shone with breathtaking grace, unmatched wisdom, and stunning beauty. Her peerless martial arts skills amazed everyone! With forces on all sides stirring restlessly, she struck first without hesitation, killing one to warn the rest! But no one knew that her soul had long since been replaced by one from another world. She had no regrets about her previous life. She had planned to spend this life quietly in a secluded corner, but for that familiar question from her past life and the unconditional trust it carried, she abandoned her peaceful existence and plunged into the struggle for imperial power, into the mortal world and its schemes for control. With her power to turn the tide, she paved a glorious road for Murong Yujian and helped him usher in an age of prosperity. She became the emperor’s irreplaceable elder sister, both mother and teacher in his heart. She had not a drop of royal blood, yet held the most honored title in the imperial family: Princess Who Protects the Nation! She seemed as gentle as water, yet shouldered the rise of a wise ruler and the prosperity of an entire nation! She did not know that every step had been calculated by the man who treasured her above all else and doted on her without limit. He had her divorced, then made her a Princess Who Protects the Nation, all to draw her, step by step, into his life and his heart! All the deceit, danger, and blades along the way could not stir her heart. But when she saw that moon-white figure who never abandoned her and loved her without conditions, she finally understood that she, too, had something to long for! Scene One: “Through the good fortune of my later years, I met an extraordinary woman, Yun Qianyu. Her talent is unmatched. After three years at my side, she is dearer to me than a granddaughter, though we share no blood. I hereby bestow upon Yun Qianyu the title of Princess Who Protects the Nation and enter her into the imperial family register today. My grandson Murong Yujian is still young. After my death, the princess shall govern on his behalf and assist the new emperor until he takes the reins himself. So decreed!” “Your Majesty, please reconsider!” “Your Majesty, you must not!” The entire court dropped to its knees. Amid the crowd’s cries, a delicate figure slowly entered the hall, accompanied by the emperor’s eight-year-old grandson, Murong Yujian. The hall fell silent at once. Every official’s gaze turned toward the newcomers. “Yujian, today your elder sister will teach you your first lesson.” Her voice was as gentle as water. Murong Yujian’s bright eyes immediately shone. He gazed at the woman with adoration. “Imperial authority cannot be defied!” Her voice was still gentle, yet it shook everyone to the core. The words made the crowd tremble. They furtively glanced toward the person seated on the dragon throne. Scene Two: On the city wall, a slender figure stood with her long hair blending into the night. Her deep eyes gazed down at the capital, then turned toward the distance. “The plan is complete.” The soft words lifted a thousand-pound burden from her shoulders. “From now on, Yu’er belongs to me alone,” came a warm voice from behind her. The woman turned back with a smile. Her breathtaking features were no longer as calm and detached as before.
