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.

In the evening, the dragon boat festival started. The entire Royal Family was present at the Imperial River Bridge, where the Emperor had to give a green flag to start the dragon boat race. Four boats have been prepared with ten people in each boat. The Dragon faces were carved at the front of the boats.
As soon as the Emperor showed the green flag, the race started and loud cheers of the people reverberated in the air. Lei Wanxi and Weng Yu predicted that boat 3rd would win.
The Emperor and the Princes could not stay outside for long, so soon returned to the Palace.
Lei Wanxi happened to buy the Zongzi Rice dumplings while returning to the Palace. He gave one stick to Weng Yu, who told Lei Wanxi about his training. "It's good to see Brother Yu becoming stronger," Lei Wanxi complimented Weng Yu.
"Brother, why don't you train with me? You will get stronger, then," Weng Yu asserted.
