Married to the Manchu Prince

Princes of the Qing Dynasty

They called him passionless… until she taught him what it meant to burn.

When twenty-year-old Suya Meng arrives at a beauty selection hosted by the Manchu Crown Prince, Yinshen, she has absolutely no expectation of being chosen as his consort. Neither does she wish to be. Spending a lifetime with the man everyone calls the “ice-faced prince” seems like the ultimate punishment.

Yet from the moment Yinshen lays eyes on the plain Han spinster with no ties to Manchu nobility, his choice is made. After surviving an assassination attempt orchestrated by his own brother, he will only agree to marry someone with zero connection to the court’s power struggles, someone who won’t slip poison into his drinks or stab him in his sleep.

Suya is his safest choice. But falling in love with her in the Forbidden Palace will prove even more treacherous than navigating the Qing court itself.
