After Being Betrayed, I Married the Capital's Number One Playboy

To all the lovely readers passing by, give that cute little finger of yours a tap and add this to your collection!

Cheng Weiyao is the daughter of the Marquis of Chongan. She was raised from childhood in the home of her maternal grandfather, the richest man in Yangzhou.

Before she leaves for the capital, her grandfather warns her that her stepmother won't bother with her marriage, so she'll have to make plans herself.

As luck would have it, on her way back to the capital, Cheng Weiyao meets Pei Lan, the son of the prime minister.

Pei Lan falls in love at first sight, and she thinks he would make a good match.

Not only is Pei Lan handsome, he is also refined, talented, and destined for a bright future.

As they part, he says tenderly, "Once I return to the capital, I'll tell my parents and come ask for your hand with all the proper betrothal gifts and ceremony."

Cheng Weiyao waits with all her heart, only to see Pei Lan standing beside her legitimate younger sister, a handsome couple who look like a match made in heaven.

Everyone laughs at the eldest Miss Cheng for indulging in wishful thinking and loving him alone.

It turns out their meeting was merely an act put on while he had amnesia, nothing real.

Pei Lan tells her his feelings for her were genuine, too. If she is willing, they can follow the example of E Huang and Nu Ying and share one husband.

Cheng Weiyao was pampered from childhood. How could she endure such humiliation? She steels her heart, turns around, and agrees to a marriage that leaves everyone dumbfounded:

She will marry Prince Jing, the most powerful and high-handed man in the capital.

From that day on, every time Pei Lan sees her, she will make him bow respectfully and address her as "Princess Consort."

On her wedding day, her procession stretches for miles, with drums and gongs thundering through the air.

Pei Lan blocks the road she must pass, dressed in white and wearing a complicated expression. As they brush past each other, he straightens his back and says quietly:

"Weiyao, don't marry him. You'll regret it."

Behind her silk fan, the corners of her lips lift slightly. "Young Master Pei, please show some restraint."

After Cheng Weiyao marries Prince Jing, the capital's most notorious man, Pei Lan goes mad.

Pei Lan insists on breaking off his engagement and claws his way up to the position of Chancellor, becoming the most powerful official in the land. He is determined to win Cheng Weiyao back.

But he never expected Prince Jing, who had kept a low profile for years, to suddenly rise to the top and claim the highest position in the realm.

Preview: After I Took on My Sister's Love Debts

My sister is a notorious flirt, a young lady general stationed at the frontier. She seduces men and runs off as a matter of course.

On her way back to the capital, she passes through Jingzhou and falls back into her old ways, seducing a handsome young man with a face like jade.

He's good-looking, gentle, and incredibly clingy. He charms my sister into genuinely falling for him, and she promises on the spot, "Once I get back to the capital and take care of some family matters, I'll come back and marry you!"

But as soon as she enters the capital and sees the man she was promised to in childhood, my sister changes her mind and quickly sets a wedding date.

As luck would have it, I fall ill and have to stay behind in Jingzhou. My sister sends me a letter:

Go calm him down for me. He has poor eyesight and has never seen me. Our voices are similar, so you can take my place.

For my sister's happiness, I grit my teeth and pretend to be her to comfort him.

I have to admit, my sister has excellent taste. This young man is handsome, gentle, considerate, and indulges me in everything. He makes my head spin.

During my time in Jingzhou, I lose myself in his tender care and almost forget that the one he loves is actually my sister.

Later, with my sister's wedding approaching, I make up an excuse and run away, never to return.

I think we'll part ways and never see each other again.

Until, at the wedding banquet, he walks up to me with a smile and says softly:

"My lady, I've been looking for you for so long. At last, I've found you."

Terrified, I grab my sister's hand and beg for help. "Sister, the love debt you left behind has come to collect!"

My sister grabs my hand, looking even more terrified than I am. "Don't talk nonsense! This is the heir of Prince Dingbei, a celebrated figure. How would I dare to seduce him?!"
