Main Characters: Shen Qingtang, Xiao Chengyu
[Mad Crown Prince × Soft-Spoken Cousin + Forced Love + Mind Reading + Dual Purity + Sweet Pampering] Shen Qingtang was an adopted daughter of the Marquis’s household, but she had been doted on since childhood. Not only did the Empress favor her, often summoning her to the palace for company, but her cousin, the Crown Prince, also treated her as dearly as his own sister. Until the day after her coming-of-age ceremony, she suddenly gained the ability to read minds! She heard her seemingly noble, upright, and dignified cousin, the Crown Prince, thinking inwardly: [“Tangtang’s skin is fairer than snow; crimson suits her best. That undergarment was personally chosen by me—how I wish I could dress her in it myself.”] [“Tangtang’s voice is so enchanting; it would surely be even more captivating if she called me ‘husband’…”]
Shen Qingtang was so frightened she fled in panic and began avoiding the Crown Prince at every turn. But soon, she realized that the Crown Prince’s spies were everywhere around her. Every detail of her daily life—clothing, food, lodging, and travel—was meticulously reported to him. Later, her fiancé, elder brother, and cousin sisters left the capital one after another… until only the Crown Prince’s people remained by her side!
The Crown Prince’s inner voice echoed once more: [“How I wish to lock Tangtang away in the Eastern Palace, where no one but me can see her.”] [“That way, Tangtang would only be able to smile for me.”]
Terrified, Shen Qingtang never dared to set foot in the palace again. Without having to hear the Crown Prince’s shocking and absurd thoughts, she slept soundly every night. Yet, each morning when she woke, she would always notice something amiss… On her snow-white neck, and occasionally around her waist and abdomen, faint red marks would inexplicably appear…
