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.

Huo Jin narrated everything to them. The things he told were unbelievable for Sheng Li, but those were the truth. "How did you find the secret underground routes of the Imperial Palace? Weng Wei could not find them, then how come you find out? And why did you not tell Tan Gengxin about that?" Sheng Li put forward a few questions.
"As I said, I never intended bloodshed. The First Wife of the First Prince was in the Palace. I wanted her safe departure first, but my master was not ready for that. He wanted to use her as bait," Huo Jin stated. "I happened to find out about secret routes, your highness," Huo Jin did not tell the way through which he found them.
"How?" Sheng Li demanded the answer.
"I sneaked into the barracks and from there found a few maps," Huo Jin replied. Sheng Li scowled at Wang Hao and Commander Yang, who lowered their eyes.
