Chu Liuchen was the crown prince when the late emperor was still alive. He was merely a few months old infants. That was when his uncle usurped the throne and sc.r.a.ped his status as the crown prince. He became Prince Chen, who was half locked up under house arrest in the South Court in the palace. This was why he was also known as the Crown Prince of South Court.

　　In the previous life, it was rumored that Prince Chen was an elegant gentleman, who was exceptionally good looking; yet there were others who claimed that Prince Chen was sensual and bloodthirsty. Regardless, Qin Wanru thought it was none of her business what kind of a person he was. In her previous life, she had only a glimpse of him from afar off.

　　That time, he was the high and mighty crown prince looking down at her like she was some kind of lowly creature.

　　At this moment, however, she had no choice but to face up to this younger Prince Chen.

　　She was thinking to herself that she would keep her distance from him as much as possible. Nevertheless, she had to perk up at this moment to reinstate her position.

　　She would never forget how after many years from now, on the day Prince Chen was restored to his throne, he would start to his hands on the candidates for his concubines. Within one day, the inner palace was blood-spattered. Those young girls who were filled with hope and expectations were killed one by one. With their corpses lying face up on the floor of the dormitory for the candidates, turning the building into a haunted h.e.l.l.

　　To cover this up, all the people involved were killed and this added to the bloodshed at the dormitory building.

　　It was rumored that after a big percentage of the palace workers were eliminated, many parts of the palace became empty.

　　Qin Wanru was implicated at that time as well.

　　How could she not be terrified when she came face to face again with this same crown prince at this moment?

　　She should never offend this person in front of her. It would be wise to even hold on tightly to him as her backing, but she hesitated if she should really do that. Qin Yuru could not make up her mind as she was still stunned. All she did was to stare blankly at the youth before her.

　　"Do you know me?" asked Chu Liuchen as he looked at Qin Wanru from her head to her toes. He was all smiles and the bizarre look in his eyes a moment ago was literally non-existent, so much so that it made Qin Wanru wonder if she was seeing things just now.

　　The frail but handsome youth had curled his lips into a refres.h.i.+ng smile that he appeared to be an immortal who had just walked out of a painting, and none of the nice adjectives could be used to fully describe his beauty. His eyes, which appeared to be made up of broken pieces of precious stones, which were under his long, curly lashes was smiling as well. He indeed looked like a harmless, charming youth.
