Han Sheng Li is the Crown Prince of the Great Han kingdom. Since the age of fourteen, he mostly went to the wars with his father, Han Wenji, the great emperor of the Han Kingdom. He's the most favored child of his father but, is the cruelest and ruthless among all of his seven half brothers. An-Ying Lili, who is known for her kindness and beauty, is the princess of Juyan City. She could not see her family die at the hands of Han Sheng Li so agreed with the marriage alliance which was put forward by the Emperor of Han. ~~~~ “I heard you are the kindest woman in the entire Han Kingdom but, it seems opposite to me. You want me to die!!” The Crown Prince astonishingly said, keeping his icy gaze intact on the woman on his bed. “Cruel people are not worthy of anyone’s kindness,” the Crown princess pronounced sternly. The crown prince chuckled. “Kindest is the one who whimpers in pain. Are you ready for undergoing that pain with this cruel man?” Crown prince asked, slightly tilting his head, and a smirk formed on his lips. Leaning closer to Ying Lili's ear, Sheng Li whispered, "Never expect love from this evil and cruel man. Feed this in your mind- 'You will never warm my bed.' Remember this memorable wedding night, my dear Crown Princess." ~~~~~~ Thanks to "LydiaF" for proofreading the chapters for me. Thanks to My CE for this amazing Title suggestion.

Nianzu was writing a message for the Prime Minister when Eunuch Chung came to him. "Your Highness, the Royal Physician examined Lady Chuntao. Her Majesty had sent him to the Eastern Palace," he informed Nianzu, who hummed as he was writing an important message on the paper.
"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is herself making the sweets for the Empress and Lady Chuntao in the royal kitchen," Eunuch Chung said.
The brush in Nianzu's hand stopped and he looked up at Eunuch Chung, lifting the brush up to prevent the sheet from getting a huge dot.
"I am going to the Northern Palace," Nianzu said and finished writing the message on the sheet. He let it dry and asked Chung to bring the warm overcoat for him. Eunuch Chung brought one silk woven coat and lifted it. Nianzu outstretched his arms and put his hands in those sleeves. Chung buttoned it from the shoulder and took a step back.
