"What is love? I used to think that love was nothing more than a distraction but when I met her I knew love was more than that, I loved her but was forced to marry another."

Our main character, Li Tian You is the eldest legitimate son of the current Emperor's brother, Prince Zi. As you could tell Tian You grew up with both fame and power, but who would have known that under the mask of being the Emperor's nephew he was nothing but a puppet controlled by his father and bullied by his stepmother...

On the other side, there was the spoiled, stubborn but beautiful third Princess of Dong Yue, Li Chiu Yeung, Tian You's cousin. Because of her personality, nobody wanted to marry her. But fate had different plans, out of irresistible circumstances, Tian You ended up betraying his lover and married Princess Chiu Yeung. 
How would these two lovers cross paths as they set aside their differences? Especially since Li Tian You blames Chiu Yeung for the death of her father. 
 
What would happen when Tian You's sweetheart, Lin Xin Er comes and finds him? Will Tian You and Chiu Yueng finally set aside their difference and find love or would Xin Er's appearance ruin everything? Or would both girls become part of Tian You's harem? And what secret does Xin Er herself hold?
============================================
Let me make myself clear this is not incest as the main characters aren't related. You will see why during the story. The plot and all the characters are original. It isn't translated. There might be some grammatical mistakes as English is not my first language. The book cover isn't mine, I found it on Pinterest so credits go to the artist. 
The timeliness is based in ancient China. 
It's for both genders to read, but maybe a bit more for females cause it's mostly a historical romance.

The Prince and his wives

"Well said!" Words like this could be heard said by everyone. " You are right childe. Mister, I apologise" the other said toward the fortune teller. Words were whispered between the childe and servant resulting in a mad and mischievous glint. ' Oh well I don't have time to deal with it now "(Imperial) gege*(1), gege where are you?" cried a sweet voice " mei-mei. I'm here." I replied as she reached us. Her face looks so down-cased that it broke my heart. " What happened?" I watched as she looked around and gently whispered into my ears " Imperial father found out you sneak out and has gone on a rampage, I don't know the details because I only got word from the maids gossiping, but I think you might have worried him,"


' This is something new, my father would worry about me. There is something fishie going on. I would have like to dwell on this question but at that moment the envoys from the neighbouring Kingdom Apollo State entered the capital as people quickly scrambled to make way for them.


When I listened to this childe lecture me I felt humiliated however at the bottom of my heart I felt he was right but there was no way I would let him humiliate me, hence I had to sincerely apologise to the fortune man.  " Princess, this childe doesn't look like he knows your a princess, let us drop this matter and enjoy our last day, after all, we need to head back to the place tonight. We can get our revenge later," whispered An Ping. The childe had already forgotten about us and as for the fortune man he was given money by us and was seen setting his station back to normal. I watched Apollo states' envoy pass us as we crept away.


" hmmm, these sugar-coated haws are delicious! Childe with the Apollo envoys coming here Noble Consort Run would arrange for you to be married to Apollo state and become their Queen. Although you would be in a better position with more power. You're still being married to a very far place where I won't be able to serve you no longer," told An Ping " An ping it's alright even if Noble Consort Run suggest that to my Imperial father* (2) I still have a backup plan," I replied. She looked at me with her confused face as I spilt out my thoughts. " Remember Prince Zi (Tian You's father ) well father has called him back into the capital and I believe he has arrived already and settling into his mansion,". " Childe are thinking of marrying that old man. You must not even if you don't have any other plan." She screamed in panic drawing the attention of others


As the night began to draw in, two-night figures could be seen slowly sneaking back into the temple in which Princess Chiu Yeung was meant to be silently praying. 'Changing back into our clothes I fell quickly asleep. I woke up not a fraction too late as I could hear gentle footsteps belonging to a group of people slowly approaching the temple's doors I straightened my outfit alongside An Pings and knelt in front of the statue of Goddess of Mercy Gu Yin. The door burst open as I turned my head " The emperor has ordered that Princess Chiu Yeung should come out of seclusion and alongside other Princess, Princess consorts attend the meeting between Apollo State and the Han Kingdom," declared a voice belonging to a eunuch. " I thank His Majesty for his kindness and benevolent," I cried as I bowed my head in respect. Behind the eunuch was Noble Consort Run*(3)."Come let us go An ping," I added following Noble Consort Run towards the Hall.
