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.

The next morning, Huo Jin, as per the plan, went to meet Tan Gengxin while Sheng Li had sent a piece of an army to the Southern Hills with skilled shooters in the leadership of General Wang. Sheng Li had earlier advised Wang Hao to stay behind. However, General Wang refused and assured Sheng Li that this time there would be no mistake.
Sheng Li helped Ying Lili wear the armor. He then handed her a sword. "My iron lady, don't try to be brave. Just stay near the secret underground routes," Sheng Li told her as he placed his palm on her cheek.
"When you know that I am an iron lady, then why are you stopping from acting bravely? It's a battle so I can hide like a coward," Ying Lili stated.
"I know. Still, as a husband, it worries me," Sheng Li replied.
