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.

Nianzu brought Jian Guozhi to his chamber. "Have water." He forwarded the silver glass to Jian Guozhi, who refused. He brought his hands up, joined them, and rested his forehead on them.
Nianzu placed the glass on the table there and pulled out a chair for him. Taking his seat, Nianzu waited for Jian Guozhi to turn stable. Hours passed, but Jian Guozhi did not speak a single word.
The evening had fallen, and the two stayed like that. Finally, the First Prince lifted his head and leaned back on his chair. His eyes were focused on a wooden tiger that was placed on the shelf. He recalled the day when he told his mother about his wish of having a toy tiger. "She found the best craftsman to carve that wooden tiger. I was so happy when she fulfilled my wish."
