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.

Seven Years Later:
A young girl could be seen braiding the hair of a person, who was seated on the mattress. The person was none other than Sheng Li. He had his eyes closed and let her daughter braid his hair.
"Young Princess, don't play with the hair of your father," Eunuch Xing-Fu said politely to Yīnghuā, who had a silk ribbon in her hand.
"But Father said that he likes it," Yīnghuā said and put her tiny hands down. "Does Father hate what Yīnghuā does?" She asked and peered into his eyes.
"Of course, Young Princess. He is the Emperor of the Han Kingdom. What if someone sees His Majesty this way? The Young Princess can ask any palace maid to play with her. His Majesty has to delay the court session," Xing-Fu made Yīnghuā understand.
