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, Chuntao, and Huo Jin went to the market in the evening. The children were playing among each other with the paper dragons in their hands. Some people were purchasing things for them, while some were enjoying the food at the stall. Women could be seen purchasing hair adornments, jade bangles, and other jewelry.
Nianzu grasped Chuntao's hand and took her near the stall. He came to the front and saw many beautiful hairpins on the stall. Seeing Nianzu, a few women backed off while some started to admire his good looks. "Which hairpin would you like to buy?" Nianzu asked Chuntao while moving his eyes towards the jade bangles and rings.
"Umm… I am confused," Chuntao replied.
Nianzu hummed and picked a golden hairpin with a circular carving. White and red Pearls were engraved into it. "I would like to buy this," Nianzu told the seller. Chuntao oppositely glanced at the women who were admiring her husband.
