Spring Cool Fragrance Nears

A story of a difficult and unruly emperor and a gentle, beautiful woman who fall in love after marriage. The emperor is portrayed as exceptionally virtuous in his marital conduct.

In the 36th year of Zhaoshun, the emperor was old and incompetent. Four princes vied for the throne within the inner court, and powerful figures rose in various regions. Among them was Ji Yujing of Lingdong, only twenty-three years old. He controlled a hundred thousand troops and held power in a region as a commoner.

In the same year, his family instructed him to fulfill a marriage contract. His wife was Lin Qingdai, the youngest daughter of a top aristocratic family. It was said that the original intended bride was Lin's eldest daughter, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the arrangement was changed.

Ji Yujing did not care about these details. Whom he married made no difference to him.

Lin Qingdai possessed exquisite beauty and was proficient in everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting. She married into the desolate Lingdong region in place of her elder sister. The entire imperial capital sympathized with her, and her sister felt immense guilt.

Lin Qingdai comforted her sister, saying, "Sister, do not worry. This time, Dai Dai is willing."

There were words she did not speak. She had met Ji Yujing years ago. Ever since then, she had never forgotten him.

Almost everyone doubted this marriage, including Ji Yujing himself. He could not have imagined that one day he would personally craft a complex phoenix kite from bamboo, just to bring a smile to his wife's face.

In the beginning, Ji Yujing's eyes were solely focused on imperial ambition and power. Later, his gaze was always searching for Lin Qingdai.

Characters: A stubborn beauty with a soft heart x A cool and noble crown prince.

This novel is also titled "My Nemesis Returns to the Spotlight Under My Supervision."

In the 20th year of Jingjia, Crown Prince Mu Zheng was deposed and exiled to Ningzhou. The pride of heaven fell from grace, with various rumors circulating. However, one point was generally agreed upon: Mu Zheng would never return to the Eastern Palace. Suddenly, Mu Zheng became a hot potato, and everyone avoided him. No one expected that two months later, the emperor would issue a decree: the legitimate daughter of Prince Nan'an, Sang Yue, was to be married to Mu Zheng as his principal wife.

Prince Nan'an was powerful and controlled significant military forces. His legitimate daughter, even as a crown princess, would not be questioned. Why would she wade into such troubled waters at such a sensitive time?

Who would dare mistreat the legitimate daughter of Prince Nan'an? After the marriage, even Mu Zheng's life improved. Naturally, Mu Zheng did not see it that way. This was because Miss Sang was still as noisy as he remembered.

After marrying into Ningzhou, besides eating, drinking, dressing up, and playing, she dedicated almost all her time to urging him to "improve."

"You are my nemesis. If you are looked down upon, it's like I am being looked down upon. Guess if I can stand it?"

"The noble ladies in the imperial capital are starting to wear Qingchan gauze. As the fallen Fourth Prince's consort, I can only wear something ordinary."

Mu Zheng: "...Being a deposed crown prince is not that easy."

In the 24th year of Jingjia, the deposed Crown Prince Mu Zheng staged a comeback and returned to the Eastern Palace. The night before leaving Ningzhou, Sang Yue, without any preamble, handed him a divorce letter.

The cool and noble Crown Prince's composure shattered completely. He clung to Sang Yue for an entire night. Before her senses were completely lost, he whispered in her ear, his voice hoarse, "Little Moon, this position of Crown Princess was won for you. How can you refuse it?"

The moon was originally in the clouds, noble and unstained. But for him, she walked into the mud. It didn't matter, though; he would send her back to the clouds.
