Jiulin

He is the second prince, competing for the throne with two other brothers. Fearing a rebellion by his brothers, who covet the throne, he decided to strengthen his position as crown prince by taking a princess as his wife. He hated women of noble birth, so he could not find one who would be well-mannered, kind, wise, and strive for harmony. One day, the emperor sent him to an enemy with whom they had been fighting for years, to finally end these troubles and reconcile their cities. At first, everything was fine; they agreed to everything, but on the condition that the crown prince take Princess Ji Yan as his wife. If he did not agree, the chances of his city being in order were slim, and the emperor would be furious and deprive him of the throne. Even though he didn't want a contractual marriage, he agreed for everyone's sake. Apparently, Princess Ji Yan herself wasn't thrilled about the marriage, but she had to accept it. On their wedding day, they weren't happy, as if they weren't going to spend their entire lives together, but as if they were strangers. He went to other rooms while no one was looking, just to avoid sleeping with her. She was upset because she always wanted to be loved at least a little, since she was a nobody in her family. Only her father loved her, but he wasn't always there, and because of this, her stepmother and her son constantly bullied her. But she realized that nothing would ever happen between them, and that was good, since her father had only sent her to watch the palace and send them letters so that at an opportune time he could attack him with all his troops when the city was powerless. He agreed, because not everyone could be trusted with such a task, and from then on, her hell began. Gradually, she began to help him with contracts, helped him everywhere, they began to fall in love with each other and love each other very much, but she didn't know how to tell him that she was revealing his entire plan. One day, he overheard her conversation with the guard. Ji Yan: - Listen, I don't want to say anything more about his plans. He heard everything.
