The Prince Consort Runs Fast, but the Princess Knows Where to Wait

[Marriage Before Love] [Mystery Solving] [Multiple Heroines]

Li Yunting, the son of a merchant family, studied literature and martial arts from childhood. At just twelve, he solved a murder case with a single remark, earning the nickname “Little Prodigy of Jiangnan.”

Born into wealth, Li Yunting took over the family business at sixteen. He traveled the martial world, made deals, earned a fortune, and charmed countless women, living life to the fullest. But then the Rebellion of the Eight Princes erupted, and his family was slaughtered. Adrift in a world torn by chaos, Li Yunting witnessed the barbarian invasion and his countrymen reduced to helpless prey. He rallied, raised an army of righteous rebels, drove out the barbarians, crushed the Eight Princes, placed a new emperor on the throne, and restored peace to the realm.

Having achieved fame and success, Li Yunting wants only to retire while he is ahead and return to the martial world. But an imperial edict arranging his marriage forces him back to the capital.

Li Yunting: “Let me make this clear: do whatever you want to me, but there's no way I'm marrying that wretch Jiang Yueyao.”

Jiang Yueyao: “Your Highness, the princess has something to make clear too: there's no way you're running away from this marriage! Run as fast as you like. I'll be waiting up ahead to catch you!”
