After the Prince Forces Her to Marry Him, His Sweetheart Finds Him Irresistible

Chi Qingyan’s biggest worry in life was that her wedding date was approaching and she still hadn’t finished embroidering her wedding dress. Then that man appeared. The emperor’s uncle, Tantai Yu, was the Great Qin’s God of War. At twenty-eight, he had never shown interest in women, and everyone at court thought he would remain a bachelor for life. The day he returned to the capital, he sat astride his horse and looked up at the city tower. Just once. That evening, an imperial edict arrived at the Chi residence. “By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Prince Chen Tantai Yu is to marry Chi Qingyan, daughter of the Grand Tutor…” Chi Qingyan was stunned. She already had a fiancé! At court the next morning, Tantai Yu laid his military tally, land deeds, and private treasury keys before the entire court. “Imperial Brother, I want nothing at all. I only want her.” The emperor had a headache, the Empress Dowager was overjoyed, and Grand Tutor Chi was so furious he nearly ran into a pillar. Chi Qingyan’s fiancé promptly spat blood. On their wedding night, the red candles flickered. The legendary, decisive God of War was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He carefully lifted her veil, his voice trembling: “Sweetheart… call me husband.” Chi Qingyan was both angry and afraid, silently cursing him for being so unreasonable. Later… “Sweetheart, I earned another mountain full of ore today. I’ve put it all in your name.” “Sweetheart, I spent three days learning how to make this soup for you.” “Sweetheart, I miss you so much I can’t sleep.” Chi Qingyan covered her face. “Oh no. I’ve really fallen for him.”
