Enough Pretending! Now That I've Won the Crown Prince's Favor, I'm Loving It

Yin Ruhua has ambitions as high as the heavens, but a fate as fragile as paper. Born a concubine-born daughter of a marquis's household, she relies on her jade-like skin and peerless beauty to compete with her legitimate elder sister at every turn, openly and behind the scenes!

One day, she dreams that her elder sister is the heaven-chosen heroine, while she is nothing but a stumbling block beneath her sister's feet, the perfect foil to her sister's grace and nobility...

One is as lowly as an ant, the other so exalted that none can compare.

When Yin Ruhua wakes up: To hell with being a lowly ant! I’m done playing along!

She quickly packs her bags. She has to go bring good fortune to the Crown Prince, who has only a breath left in him!

Compared to those nobodies, he’s the true dragon. No one else is getting their hands on this powerful backer!

The ailing Crown Prince: Once I die of this illness, you can remarry.

Yin Ruhua turns deathly pale and sways on her feet!

The next day, a hidden guard reports: “The Crown Princess has been cutting her wrists for the past month to use her blood as medicine...”

Before he can finish, Yin Ruhua goes limp, and the Crown Prince forces himself up from his “sickbed” to catch her.

That one catch lifts her to the most exalted position in the world for any woman.

(One-on-one romance, both leads devoted only to each other. Warning: The heroine is scheming and has a green-tea persona.)
