Zhizhu Baihe Pavilion: General's Secret Lady
Set in an ancient time wherein prestige and power are everything, Prince Zen Lykus, born from a lowly Imperial concubine from the southern tribe, is destined to die at the hands of the empress of the Lykus Empire. To avoid his death and his mother's, the third prince decides to portray the image of a retard to dodge the power struggle within the Imperial Court. Prince Zen is doing great until he meets his consort, Theta Mariyah, the tribute from the Kingdom of Amina. Fierce and cunning, his beloved wife treats him like a child - making him wish to show her his dominant and possessive self. Prince Zen's resolve will be tested as he struggles to maintain his façade of being his cunning wife's 'retarded' husband. Deceiving everyone around him is one thing, but lying to his fierce wife is a death sentence. Follow the lovely yet complex couple as they struggle to survive within the turbulent Imperial Court. - - - - You can find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IceFontana18Official The book cover belongs to me since I let an artist draw it.

First Encounter
"Your Highness, the delegation of the Mariyah Clan has arrived," said Amir to the man sitting at the center of the tent. Neither gold nor silver decorated the fairly average-size tent. Amir strode to where his master was sitting before he continued with whispered words. "The Vipers have also brought news, Your Highness. It seems that the third young master of the Mariyah Clan has been gravely injured from a beast pack attack as soon as they entered the Valley of Trials!"
Amir sighed inwardly after seeing his master's nonchalant reaction. Contrary to his master's stoic and desolate response, the four other clans were in an uproar!
Amir thought with a sigh. 'I wish that a day will come when His Highness can be liberated from the constraints of emotions that he is in.'
