My Darling, Coax Me

Yun Ling was a humble little palace maid. She had a secret: she knew that the Sixth Prince, currently confined to the Cold Palace, was destined to be the future Crown Prince. To avoid misfortune, she volunteered to take care of him in the Cold Palace. The Sixth Prince, Xie Jue, was cruel, ruthless, and possessed a violent temper. He was suspicious and guarded towards her, constantly mocking and threatening her. But no matter how he treated her, Yun Ling remained by his side, diligently serving him without complaint.

“What do you want?” he asked coldly. Yun Ling gently coaxed, “I only wish for Your Highness’s well-being. Your Highness’s wishes are also my wishes.” Xie Jue scoffed, “A lowly person, using sweet words to deceive.” Yun Ling didn’t mind. She continued to care for him with utmost devotion and consideration. When he ascended to the East Palace, becoming the heir apparent, second only to the Emperor, she used his influence to escape her own misfortune and seek revenge. Then, she vanished without a trace in a blaze of fire.

Years later, thousands of miles away from the capital, Yun Ling worked as a female tutor. Hearing that a powerful, ruthless Prince had arrived, she feared being recognized. But as the door opened to a blizzard, Xie Jue stood there, his eyes red-rimmed and his voice low and fierce, “I’ll make you my Crown Princess. Don’t run away again, or I really will strangle you.”
