"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

Not long later, we arrived at the capital. I had set off an hour early so that I could make sure we arrived on time. There were still 10 mins until the morning court is due to start.


Hence, I decided to look around the capital. It's been so long since I've been here. The last time I was in the capital was when my father died.


The usually busy streets were still so quiet, I suppose it's because it was quite early now. Although it was early there were already people setting up their store. I asked the man driving the carriage to stop for a moment. I wanted to grab some steamed buns to eat. Yu Mo looked at me when he noticed me going to get some buns. "What?" I asked whilst he shook his head. What's with his expression?


I hopped back onto the coach and it when on its way to the palace gates. I was stopped at the gate however when I gave the guards my badge they let me in very respectfully. While I suppose Tian You is someone who everyone has to respect. I mean he is the only son of the late Prince Zi and also he is the third princess's husband. ahh.


Look at how well his life is. Unlike mine. Even when my parents died, I can only see them after their death and not when they were dying... Come on Li Tia Hao, we told ourselves not to think these thoughts.


The carriage stopped right at the throne room. I got off quickly and saw that it was almost time for the court to start. I rush inside and greeted all the officials who were bothered to say morning to me. I walked over to the front of the hall where my place was. As the emperor doesn't have any sons so all of his nephews are at the beginning of the long lines of officials. There were 2 lines of officers from the highest position to grade 6 officers. Anything below that isn't needed in court unless there is something that needs them. Apart from the princes, all the officers were wearing purple robes.


"HERE COMES THE EMPEROR," the eunuch shouted. We all got on our knees and chorused "We wish the emperor longevity,". "Everyone please get up," he ordered as we all got up. "So does anyone have anything to discuss about?" he asked whilst I heard the governor or Gusu stand out. He was a 6th-grade officer so he was standing at the back. "You Majesty, Gusu has been flooding again. I hope that you'll send someone who will help give out help towards the villagers. Also please give some funds to Gusu. This is already the second flood this season already. Autumn is usually the worst climate for Gusu," explained the officer. The emperor nodded and asked, "Is there anyone who wishes to go to Gusu?" Everyone whispered around and there wasn't a single person who wishes to. "Your majesty," I stated whilst everyone turned their attention towards me. "I wish to head towards Gusu. I definitely wish to help the villagers that are affected by the flood," I explained whilst thinking that I must make sure Didi goes and find Lin'er.


"Mnnn," the emperor moaned whilst he was stroking his beard thinking whether or not me going to Gusu was an ok situation. "Tian You, are you sure you wish to go to Gusu?" he asked whilst I nodded and assured him I wanted to. "Alright then, you can go and set out in 2 weeks. However, you must bring Chiu Yueng with you. Take it as a honeymoon," he ordered whilst I nodded and assured him I would take Chiu Yeung with me. However, I was thinking very frantically right now. With Chiu Yeung here could Tian You still go and meet Xin'er? Uhh, why did His Majesty want me to take Chiu Yeung with me?


The court ended soon as nobody had anything else to talk about. I walked slowly out of the hall feeling the wind brush by my robe. Today was so brilliant.
