Marrying the Crown Prince

From a young age, Zhou Zhou knew she was different from her sisters, a difference that allowed her to be fortunate enough to be taught by her grandfather and loved by her grandmother. At eight, she was chosen by the Emperor to be the princess's companion, entering the palace to grow up alongside the princess and becoming the fifth prince's childhood sweetheart. Before the Peach Blossom Banquet at fifteen, everyone said she was the chosen fifth princess, the future queen. Only Zhou Zhou knew that fate couldn't be manipulated, so she forged another path for herself. Ultimately, a royal decree designated Zhou Zhou for the Eastern Palace. On their wedding night, a sickly crown prince took Zhou Zhou's hand, his smile alluring, "I have finally married you." 1. Pure ancient romance, not time-travel...
