Reborn as a Lowborn Daughter, I Refuse to Compete for Favor, but the Crown Prince Insists I Enter the Palace

[Clearheaded, Rational Concubine-Born Daughter VS Scheming, Dark-Hearted Crown Prince]

[Double Rebirth + Broken Engagement + Marriage Before Love + Devoted Husband + High IQ + High Status and Power + Political Scheming]

Reborn once more, Shen Qingtang knows that her legitimate elder sister is the heroine fate has chosen.

She won't compete for favor or steal anyone's marriage. She'll simply find an honest man and marry out quietly.

Who could have guessed that just after she dodged her elder sister's spotlight at the spring banquet, Crown Prince Xiao Chengjing would single her out in front of everyone? "The one I want to marry is the second daughter of the Shen family."

The whole hall was stunned, and she nearly crushed her teacup.

After being forced into the palace, Shen Qingtang focuses on playing dumb to avoid his favor.

When noble ladies make things difficult for her, the Crown Prince stands up for her. When palace consorts lay traps, he exposes them himself.

She can take it no longer. "Your Highness, can't you stay away from me?"

Xiao Chengjing bends down to fasten a hairpin in her hair. "No. I went to great lengths to marry you."

She only wanted to be a quiet background character, but he spoils her so thoroughly that she coasts effortlessly to victory.

Then, on the eve of their wedding, Xiao Chengjing suddenly asks her, "You've been avoiding me all this time. Did I wrong you in our previous life?"
