The Crown Prince's Concubine Won't Stay

share time: 2025-11-14 06:04:22

Liu Shichu has been Crown Prince Xiao Jingyan’s concubine for three years. She serves him daily but barely sees his face, enduring the crown princess’s covert cruelty—wet firewood replacing winter charcoal, no imperial doctor allowed when sick. When her father falls gravely ill at home, needing fifty taels for medicine, she sells the jade hairpin Xiao once gave her and plans to flee. At the city gate, a hand yanks her wrist—Xiao stands in the snow, eyes red: “Who let you go?” Liu sobs, struggling: “You never cared about me!” Suddenly, Xiao pulls her into a tight hug, tears burning her neck: “I did! I watched you embroider from outside your window every night. I was afraid you’d hate me for being a prince trapped in schemes, afraid you’d find out I secretly left you the hand warmer…” Those “ignores” were three years of love he dared not speak.
