Spring Holds Snow

Synopsis: Completed! Please pre-collect my next novel, thank you! Because his father, the King, was impeached by the censor for having once abducted a beautiful wife and taking her for his own, despite criticizing his father for being unmatched in the world yet foolishly swayed by beauty, Prince Jiang Hui had to travel far to the wealthy city of Jiangnan to handle the aftermath.

It was said that the woman had left behind a daughter back then. Whether to kill or to keep her, he had his own ideas.

Upon entering the city, he heard of the woman's reputation, knowing she had lost her husband young, and now managed the household with dignity and benevolence, earning much praise in the city. The Prince remained noncommittal.

When the grand mansion gates opened, he caught sight of the gentle woman about to leave. The Prince's ideas changed.

Later, upon learning that his "sister's" deceased husband was not dead and had returned triumphantly from the battlefield, the Prince's ideas changed again. He could no longer tolerate it.

After years of stability, Yan Siqing had always been cautious and intelligent, yet she could not contend with powerful authority. She could only adapt, doing her best to protect her husband's family and young daughter. Even when faced with the overwhelming and complex royal kin of the Prince's residence, she managed to handle things appropriately, but she was always reluctant to be alone with that Prince.

His eyes were like those of a wolf or a tiger.

PS: The dignified and restrained, absolutely top-intellect deceased husband (who 'returned from the dead') and a wealthy married woman VS a beautiful but proud and fierce Prince, absolutely top-strength, who also hits himself hard in the face.

Summary: Small plot units swiftly resolving cases and involving morally ambiguous romantic entanglements. It's about two brave and ruthless royal father and son, originally vying for power and profit, who become completely infatuated with two charming mother and daughter (not blood-related) and fiercely defeat countless suitors.

Disclaimers below:

First: There is a male lead.

Second: The sense of power oppression is heavy, but the female leads turn the tables, making optimal choices for power, wealth, and their own needs, not a traditional weak ancient romance.

Third: The two mother and daughter are true succubi; the mother is pure charm and allure, the daughter is a truly intelligent, dignified, and top-tier married woman.

Fourth: The female lead is genuinely a married woman and has a daughter with her ex-husband (the daughter is very cute). The male lead struggles between acting as a "biological brother" or a "cousin," playing a tormented Sherlock Holmes and a "Gentleman Liu Xiahui."

Fifth: The ex-husband genuinely fakes his death and returns for a 'crematorium' scenario; the female lead will later have a legitimate new fiancé. The male lead and ex-husband fight to the death scandalously and chaotically.

Sixth: This is an "XP" novel; the content is occasionally a bit improper. Both men and women have personal desires and selfish motives, weighing pros and cons.

Seventh: Power ultimately succumbs to human desires and private emotions; emperors bow their heads in pursuit of love; the empire is beneath their feet, their beloved by their side.

Eighth: The author is not serious.

Content tags: Strong vs. Strong, Sweet Text, Suspense Mystery. Characters: Yan Siqing, Jiang Hui. Other: Forced love, pseudo-incest, noble households, and cases. One-sentence summary: Human hearts are unpredictable, but deep affection is hard to endure. Message: Women should strive for self-reliance.
