The Marriage Proposal

A concubine-born daughter asks for a marriage? The whole capital waits to see her make a fool of herself, only to watch Prince Pingle willingly cradle her in his hands.

She is a concubine-born daughter of the Ye family, lowly and insignificant. Outwardly meek and courteous, she is actually cool, proud, and clear-eyed. At sixteen, she is abandoned by the man she loves. To survive, she volunteers to marry into Prince Pingle's household to bring him good fortune.

He is Prince Pingle, a man of exalted status in the capital. Outwardly violent and infamous, he is actually shrewd, calculating, and unfathomably deep. He intended to keep her like a pet rabbit, never guessing that she was a wolf to the bone.

He is the heir of Prince Fenyang, elegant and refined, admired by all the women in the capital. Yet after turning his back on love, he loses control all over again when he finally looks back and must decide whether to love or not, to fight or not.

He is a hostage prince from a neighboring country. He seems mild-mannered and courteous, content not to compete, but in truth he has grand ambitions and a master plan in hand. He meant to lure her into his game, only to find that he had already fallen into hers.

The realm is shrouded in turbulent, treacherous currents. Amid struggles for power, when violence meets cool detachment, cunning meets deception, and calculation meets ruthlessness, who will have the last laugh?
