[A fallen but resilient young lady of a noble family & a ruthless, scheming older prince]
Before their wedding, Xia Wanci once asked her childhood sweetheart, to whom she was betrothed as a child, whether he wanted to marry her. Song Yunzheng did not resist the arranged marriage. In fact, he was eager to wed her.
Who could have guessed that after they married, Song Yunzheng would become entangled with another childhood friend? Xia Wanci struggled to keep their marriage from falling apart. After he repeatedly took the other woman’s side, she finally asked for a divorce.
But Xia Wanci didn’t understand. After she left, Song Yunzheng began searching for her everywhere. “Waner, I know I was wrong, but you’re the one I love. Won’t you come back with me?” The once arrogant young marquis had tears in his eyes.
Before Xia Wanci could send him packing, someone stepped between them and blocked her view. “You like looking at him so much? Why not look at me instead?”
The man before her was handsome and aloof, yet also cunning and ruthless. To the world, he was the God of War, the King of Hell.
Xia Wanci valued her life, so she replied with a nervous smile, “Your Highness is of such exalted status. I wouldn’t dare presume.”
Yet the feared prince’s eyes reddened before her. “Why are you pretending not to know me?”
Xia Wanci: “How could I presume to reach so far above my station?”
Him: “Reach above your station? Then I’ll be your prince.” Xia Wanci waved her hands in alarm.
Him: “Then be my princess consort.” “Wanwán, stop hiding from me. Keep it up, and I’ll drag you into the palace and make you empress!”
