I Want the Antiques, but the Crown Prince Thinks I Want Him

Everyone in the capital knows that the newly appointed Crown Princess, Gu Yunxi, loves Crown Prince Xiao Jue with all her heart.

She gazes adoringly at his court robes, strokes his jade pendant, and even treasures the wine cup he used, hugging it to sleep every night.

Everyone says she's hopelessly love-struck.

Gu Yunxi, inwardly ecstatic: Oh my goodness! That kesi-woven cloud-and-dragon pattern! That mutton-fat Hetian jade! That long-lost Ru ware with its sky-blue glaze! I'm rich, I'm rich!

Crown Prince Xiao Jue is the most fearsome madman in the Great Xia dynasty, poisoned by a strange toxin and brutal to the point of bloodlust.

He thought Gu Yunxi was just another spy sent to die, until he discovered that whenever this “love-struck fool” came near, his excruciating pain eased.

She stares at him obsessively (at his clothes), and he thinks: She loves me.

She strokes his shattered jade pendant with tears in her eyes (what a shame about the craftsmanship), and he thinks: She's heartbroken for me.

Later, he holds her close and says hoarsely, “Since you love me this much, you'll be my antidote forever.”

Gu Yunxi: “???”

Wait! Your Highness, have you misunderstood something? I'm just a cultural relic restorer. I only want to focus on my career!

Xiao Jue, gripping her chin as his madness takes hold: “Your career is loving me. Understand?”
