[Marriage First, Love Later] [Bickering Couple] [Satisfying Romance] [Sweet and Flirtatious] [Devoted Spoiling]
She married a husband who wanted to kill her every day. After running away for three years, she was finally caught and brought back to obediently have his baby.
On their wedding night, her husband used her as a shield against a hidden weapon, and Chu Xiaojin died.
When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn on her wedding night.
Wrapped head to toe in bandages to guard against assassination, she raised a vase, ready to fight for her life!
Then she discovered that the person who really wanted her dead was her new husband.
"I could use someone with a life as stubborn as yours," Mu Jinxing said with a gentle smile, murder in his eyes.
Reborn in the body of a singing girl, Chu Xiaojin was coerced by the Empress Dowager into becoming a spy and married to His Highness Prince Jin, a ruthless killer. To stay alive, she deceived both sides, acting meek before the Empress Dowager and playing dumb around Prince Jin.
But Prince Jin had long since seen through her identity as a spy. Every day, he watched her struggle to outwit him as if he were enjoying a show.
She thought he was waiting for her to slip up.
In truth, he was waiting for her to come back to him.
[Bonus Scene]
On their wedding night, she clutched a vase and trembled.
Mu Jinxing pushed open the door. Seeing her wrapped in bandages from head to toe, he raised an eyebrow.
"Princess, are you guarding against assassins, or against me?"
Chu Xiaojin gave a strained laugh. "I get cold easily."
Mu Jinxing lowered his head and chuckled by her ear.
"Then tonight, I'll make sure you stay warm."
When her identity was exposed, Chu Xiaojin never imagined her husband could be so ruthless: killing ministers, holding the Empress Dowager hostage, and seizing imperial power, all to protect her and keep her safe for the rest of her life.
There was one more thing she didn't know.
She was the very cinnabar mole that everyone in the Tianluan Dynasty gossiped about, the one Prince Jin had cherished in his heart all along.
