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.

Sheng Li after inquiring from a few people in the market reached outside the Entrance of the Merchants' Market. The moving carts were taking goods there towards that market. Sheng Li walked in and after walking a few meters, he met Wang Hao.
"Don't use the title for me," Sheng Li in a low voice told Wang Hao.
"Brother, the information given by Governor Tzu was correct. The group is known as 'Lǎohǔ Group' which means 'Tiger Group'. They have control over the Merchants group here who are affecting the economy of the Southern Province.
In short, this group handles the market prices and they are the ones who want to get separated from the Han Empire. They are recruiting the men from the village through a dangerous game called Hand Knife game and a sword fight. I could not get further information on this," Wang Hao asserted.
