"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

When I was talking about her brother my whole face fell and I suppose gege realised. "What exactly happened back then? How come you weren't able to marry her?". I gritted my teeth and replied, "If it wasn't for Lin Rong Ge, I would've married Xin'er and I might even have children right now,". I poured myself some more tea and began to explain my grievances.


"Near the fourth month, since I first met Xin'er, Yu Xuan found me. I told him everything. And I even made him nock me out again so that I would suffer a light head injury. That way it would be easier for me to say I had regained my memory. Quite a mean thing to do but I had no choice. Hence I had to go back home and asked for my father's permission to marry Xin'er. I spent a whole month convincing him and in the end, I finally got his approval. I immediately grab a horse and galloped from Su province to Hai Nan. I arrive there in less than two days however what I received was the saddest news of my life. Lin Xin'er was to be wedded to a different man. I was only gone for one month yet she was due to marry the next day. I was angry and betrayed however when I found out why I was beyond furious. Her brother Lin Rong Ge had a gambling problem and he had gambled his sister's marriage away to a fat old man. At that point, someone knocked me out and when I woke up I was already in Jiang Zhou. I don't know how I got there however father had already requested me to go back to Su province and all these years I haven't returned. Perhaps it was because I didn't want to face Xin'er. I could've saved her however I chose not to..." I explained as tears rolled down my face. I picked up the cup of tea and stared into it for a few seconds before drowning it down my throat.


Gege came over to comfort me as I cried. I could finally let go of all those things surrounding me and cry like a little child. When you're born as a Royal you're pretty much restricted to do anything you like. Perhaps that's why I love Jiang Hu no matter how messy it was. Maybe in my next life, I could just be a normal person.


After a while, I calmed down a lot more and I finally remembered the second business I had to do. "Gege can you be me for a few days? I've some business I would like to finish off at the Moon Valley," I asked. After serious consideration, Gege hastily nodded but he wanted me to promise him to head over to Hai Nan. "I'll give it some thought," was what I said. Who would know that later on, gege would use this promise on me?


I spent the night with gege talking about his life and how it contrasted mine. "After father faked my death I was taken to a very dark palace. That palace had no proper light. There were only candles and stuff. Hence I learnt through all these years I learnt how to see in the dark.  In that room, I learnt everything, all of my martial arts were taught there. I never saw any daylight until my 20th birthday. At that time it was the first time I came out of the dark palace and that was because I had to attend His majesty's birthday for you as you refuse to come back so I had to pretend to be you," brother explained bitterly. I looked at him and my eyes glistened. If it wasn't because of me, gege wouldn't be the one to suffer. "Hey don't look at me like that. I don't blame you. I had fun these years. At least I had the freedom to do what I want," gege announced whilst laughing. This was too true.
