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.

Deng Hui was trembling in fear. The Palace maid brought the water for her and forwarded the water glass to the Empress. Deng Hui grabbed the water glass with a trembling hand. She brought the glass closer to her lips when it fell from her hand.
The Palace maid got on her knees and started to plead with the Empress. "Clean the floor and leave," Deng Hui ordered her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," the Palace Maid cleaned the floor quickly and left. Deng Hui called Eunuch Zhen inside.
"Your Majesty," he bowed in front of her.
"Tha-that poison bottle was with me, then how did it reach the hands of Minister Xi?" Deng Hui questioned. "Did someone come here?" She asked him.
"Your Majesty, it is confusing for me as well," Eunuch Zhen replied.
"The Crown Prince does not know that the poison was arranged by me. But that Minister took my name, and I do not know what will happen in the morning," Deng Hui stated.
