You Wanted Me as a Concubine, So I Ran Off and Married Someone Else. Why Are You Chasing Me Now?

[Clear-Headed Hairpin Maker x Two-Faced, Coldhearted Crown Prince]

[Pure Love | Forced Possession | Chasing His Wife | The Heroine Runs Away | Faking Her Death]

After her parents passed away, Rong Yi lived a simple but carefree life, and even had an imperial examination graduate for a fiance, someone everyone envied and praised.

Her fiance was peerlessly handsome, with an exceptional bearing, truly a refined gentleman as graceful as jade. Rong Yi was very pleased with him.

But on the eve of their wedding, a band of assassins attacked without warning. Forced to flee for her life, Rong Yi discovered that her fiance was actually the crown prince, a royal heir of the realm, in disguise. Even his warm and gentle temperament had been an act!

Accustomed to being a free bird, Rong Yi had no intention of entering the Eastern Palace as a concubine. So she played sweet and obedient, waiting for a chance to escape...

Crown Prince Ji Jinheng was attacked while on a tour of the south. By a twist of fate, a life-sharing Gu bound his fate to that of a hairpin maker.

To save his life, Ji Jinheng pretended to be the young woman's fiance and sought her out. But as they spent time together, he gradually developed feelings for her.

Once his identity was restored, Ji Jinheng resolved to take her to the Eastern Palace and give her a proper place.
