His Beloved Ran Away, and the Cold Heir Weeps as He Chases Her

Trashy, cold heir apparent vs. poised, clear-eyed heir apparent’s wife

(One-on-one, mutual firsts + regretful chase + marriage before love)

The eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor’s household is poised and clever. Since childhood, she has been engaged to Heir Apparent Xiao.

She looks forward to a marriage filled with harmony and mutual love.

But her husband already has a childhood sweetheart he loves by his side.

That woman has been with him since they were children. She is radiant and bold, and even her mother-in-law loves her like a daughter.

After the wedding, her husband treats her with cold indifference and cutting sarcasm.

Her mother-in-law constantly picks on her and makes things difficult for her because of that woman.

On the very day she marries in, his childhood sweetheart is also brought into the household as a concubine, welcomed with great fanfare.

“Yun Yihuan, mind your duties as my wife. Don’t try to take what doesn’t belong to you.” On their wedding night, her husband spends it with his childhood sweetheart, leaving her alone in the bridal chamber.

Yun Yihuan takes the concubine’s provocations, her mother-in-law’s dislike, and her husband’s favoritism in stride.

She doesn’t ask for true love. She only wants to live with dignity and comfort.

But at some point, that cold man starts clinging to her more and more.

The whole capital knows that she is the apple of Heir Apparent Xiao Beiwang’s eye.

…

Xiao Beiwang has a childhood sweetheart he loves.

He loathes the wife he was forced to marry.

He thinks her poise and gentleness are all a facade, and that sooner or later, she’ll reveal her true colors.

But the more he watches her, the more he falls for her, until he realizes that everything is completely different from what he thought.

His wife doesn’t care who he dotes on. She really is poised, generous, and unbothered.

The heir apparent panics.

“Huanyuan, let me sleep in the bed tonight, okay?”

“Huanyuan, look, I hurt my hand. Blow on it for me.”

From then on, the lofty Heir Apparent Xiao becomes his wife’s shadow, trailing after her all day long
