I Became Everyone's Favorite, and I'm Terrified

Please give this a little love and add it to your favorites.

What is happiness?

Lin Mumu transmigrated to the Great Zhou Kingdom, only to become a universally adored charmer, beloved by everyone she met.

From the crown prince himself, who tearfully begged to make her his sworn sister, to Lu Duchuan, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, hailed as "the most handsome man in the capital," who fell in love with her at first sight.

Even when she was penniless and looking for a way to earn a living, the Prince of Zhenguo's household warmly invited her to tutor their heir, offering a monthly salary of fifty taels of gold.

Ever since arriving here, Lin Mumu had kept pinching her own arms until they were black and blue. She simply had to keep checking whether she was dreaming.

What does it mean to be blessed without knowing it?

With so many people liking her, Lin Mumu felt it was getting to be a bit much.

Take the fifteen-year-old heir of the Prince of Zhenguo, for example. He hugged her the second time they met. Before she could recover from her shock, his father saw them.

And his father was none other than the Prince of Zhenguo himself, known throughout Great Zhou as the "Jade-Faced Yama."

She had thought she was done for, but unexpectedly, the Prince of Zhenguo, Ming Yuheng, invited her to dine with him.

The food was excellent, and Lin Mumu was thoroughly enjoying it. Then she looked up and saw Ming Yuheng gazing at her with eyes as tender as water, tears seemingly glimmering in them.

Lin Mumu was instantly horrified, and lost her appetite.

Something was off. Everyone here seemed strange, especially in this princely residence.

So Lin Mumu spent her days torn between anxiety and the temptation of fifty taels of gold...

At the end of the month, clutching the glittering gold she'd just received, she made up her mind. She secretly climbed the wall of the princely residence in the middle of the night, intending to jump out. But when she looked down, she met a pair of icy eyes staring up at her.

Lin Mumu's legs gave way, and she fainted on the spot.

Ming Yuheng caught her and held her in his arms, the corners of his mouth lifting. "Mumu, I've waited so long. At last, you've returned to my arms."

Bonus Scene 1

Great Zhou's Crown Prince: "I feel like I've seen Miss Mumu before. Have we met somewhere?"

Lin Mumu blurted out, "Maybe in a dream."

The Crown Prince chuckled foolishly. "Perhaps. I feel a great affinity for you. Why not become my sworn sister?"

Lin Mumu: "??? People in ancient times liked the whole big brother, little sister thing too???"

Bonus Scene 2

After Lin Mumu's Nth escape from the Prince of Zhenguo's residence:

Steward: "Your Highness, the Princess Consort has climbed over the wall and slipped away with her little bundle again."

Leader of the Shadow Guards: "The Princess Consort's guards have already left the residence with her."

Head Matron: "Your Highness, as you instructed, this old servant secretly put one thousand taels in banknotes in her bundle ahead of time. In case Her Highness would find it inconvenient, I even changed it into smaller banknotes of one hundred taels each. They take up no space."

Heir: "Father, is it time for Mother to play escape room with us again? It's been a month."

Ming Yuheng smiled without answering. "Keep the Princess Consort safe. She'll come back once she's had enough fun outside."

A few days later

A shadow guard rushed in with a report: "Your Highness, this is bad! The Princess Consort has been invited to drink at the Zuifeng Tower by Lord Lu, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."

Ming Yuheng's face filled with murderous intent. "Bring me my twenty-meter broadsword. Hurry, we're going to bring the Princess Consort home."

Bonus Scene 3

Noodle shop customer A: "I hear the Prince of Zhenguo is heartbroken over the Princess Consort's death. He's been taking sick leave at home and hasn't attended court for days."

Noodle shop customer B: "Who doesn't know the Prince of Zhenguo only loves the Princess Consort? Now that she's gone, he'll go back to being the Jade-Faced Yama."

Noodle shop customer C: "The Prince of Zhenguo was called the Jade-Faced Yama when he fought on the battlefield. But who could have guessed that after he married the Princess Consort, he would always have a spring breeze in his eyes and a smile on his lips? Now, we'll probably never again see that smile, as if an immortal had descended to the mortal world."

Noodle shop customer D: "The Princess Consort was the illustrious Eldest Princess Zhaoyang, beloved by all the people of Great Zhou and the talk of the entire capital. What woman in this world could compare? Only she deserved the Prince of Zhenguo's devoted love."

Lin Mumu: "The noodles haven't arrived, but I've already had my fill of gossip. I'd quite like to see if there's really a man this devoted in the world."

The next moment, a handsome, refined man with an elegant air sat down across from Mumu. He smiled, his brows curving, and said softly, "Mumu, long time no see."

The noodle shop customers: "Greetings, Prince of Zhenguo. You can smile again?"

Lin Mumu: "??? That devoted-lover persona fell apart awfully fast."

#In every life, my smile blooms for you alone. I love you just as I always have, and nothing has ever changed.#
