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.

"I liked that hero because he was brave," Ying Lili replied. "To protect his wife from the King of the Ten States, he fought with the Ten Great Generals of those Ten States. He was the hero of my dreams because to save his love, he brought the King on his knees," Ying Lili pronounced.
"Did he save her?" Sheng Li asked.
"Yes," Ying Lili smiled.
Sheng Li got curious to know about the folktale. "Will you tell me about this folktale?"
Ying Lili nodded her head.
"He saved his wife from the bloody tyrant. Teng Ru was an ironsmith. In the Legend it was depicted how beautiful his wife was! The King of the Ten States, Wu Xinyang once happened to see Teng Ru's wife in the market of the capital. The King fell for her at the very instant. Xinyang wanted to bring her to the Palace and marry her. He sent his right-hand man to find out about the woman, who used to live far from the capital, in a village of ironsmiths and other worker classes.
