Playing Poor! Acting Pitiful! The Capital's Crown Prince Has Been Plotting This for Ages

The eldest daughter of the Si family, the richest family in Pingcheng, was an exquisite beauty, with graceful dancing, a slender waist, and perfect features. Everyone was captivated by her.

Unfortunately, her boyfriend cheated on her, turning her into a laughingstock. To save face, she chose a man with a better physique than her scumbag ex, a more handsome face, and a more obedient, considerate disposition.

The man was gentle and attentive, taking meticulous care of her. He was her utterly faithful knight,

with just one flaw: he was poor and relied entirely on her to support him.

One day, at a banquet in Dicheng,

Si Ning attended the event, where a vicious rival who envied her mocked her as nothing but a pretty face, a decorative vase. The slander made the other guests look at her strangely and keep their distance.

Just then

Her husband, who had been left behind in Pingcheng, suddenly appeared, dressed in a suit and bespoke clothes, surrounded by a crowd of powerful figures. His handsome face held no trace of a smile as he sneered coolly, “What gives you the right to criticize my wife?”

The whole room erupted in shock.

The vicious rival who had slandered her was thrown out, humiliated and utterly disgraced.

Si Ning was cornered by him at a bend in the corridor. Their temples brushed as he clung to her like a lovesick man drowning in love. He whispered tenderly in her ear, “My lady, I love you so much.”

*A silver-tongued, scheming sweetheart × a radiant, uninhibited heiress

*Sweet romance with mutual devotion / hiding one’s true strength / long-laid plans / he falls for her first / healing

*You stirred a pool of starlight, untouched by the world’s vulgarity. You became my moon, shining bright and constant.
