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.

Ying Lili's heart raced because of this gesture of Sheng Li. He was getting affectionate to her, and she liked it. "You blush whenever I say such things to you," Sheng Li said and smiled.
"So, would you like to tell me who were those princes who sent the marriage proposals to you?" Sheng Li queried Ying Lili.
"Why?"
"Because I want to know," Sheng Li replied.
"Those Princes were from neighborhood kingdoms. I know little about them," Ying Lili replied. She turned towards the table and filled their cups with wine.
"You shall not drink anymore," Sheng Li voiced and extended his hand to take the cup from her, but she did not let him take it. Instead, she gulped the wine quickly and wiped her mouth from the back of her mouth.
"I am sober. Tell me why you did not get any proposals?" Ying Lili asked.
