After My Delicate Concubine Faked Her Death, the Crown Prince Reunited with Her and Coaxed Her Every Night

[Clear-headed, stunning concubine × Noble, peerless crown prince] When the legitimate daughter of the Shen family fled an arranged marriage, the family sent the concubine-born Shen Zhining to serve in the crown prince’s residence as an apology. For three years, she and the crown prince lived in perfect harmony. Though she had no title, she was content. She thought they were in love, and that after all their hardships, happiness had finally come... But the day her half sister returned to the capital, all that happiness was shattered in an instant. Shen Zhining watched him marry his one true love and make her his consort. Only then did she learn that for those three years, she had merely been a stand-in for her half sister. His affection and love had all been an act... On the night her heart died, the child she carried was also killed. And the man she loved was celebrating his wedding night with someone else. Later, she took a poisoned arrow meant for him and calmly wished him and the woman he loved a lifetime together. But his eyes turned bloodshot, his whole body trembled, and he begged her like a madman not to die. Shen Zhining never knew that after she died, the usually dignified, peerless crown prince went gray overnight and nearly lost half his life... * When they met again, she was the empress of the Northern Frontier. But he grew ruthless, using every means at his disposal to take her back. The day she was captured, the room became a scene of utter debauchery. Eyes red, he held her captive in his arms. His whisper by her ear was trembling and unhinged: “Zhining, why did you run?” “For five years, I’ve been searching everywhere for you!”
