The Domineering Prince's Passionate Devotion

[Updates in October]

Unreliable princess x hedonistic prince

That day, an unfamiliar man barged into Prince Chen's residence. By the time Xie Shengli arrived, the man had been restrained by the maids.

Although she was dressed as a man, he recognized that familiar face at once.

The midday sun was blinding. He couldn't tell if Jing Le had come back to life or if someone was setting a trap.

But that was his dead Jing Le.

After two years apart, she was finally willing to come back and see him.

Word came from the palace that a celebration was being held for the little princess's first month. Xie Shengli dressed her in jewels until she outshone the little princess's own mother.

When the Emperor arrived, the civil and military officials and the imperial clanswomen all bowed their heads and cried, "Long live the Emperor!" Only Xie Shengli sat alone in a corner, ignoring them.

Ming Yuan rose to pay her respects, but he stopped her. "You don't need to bow."

In the entire grand hall, only the two of them remained seated at the table, not moving an inch or showing the slightest trace of a subject's deference.

Xie Shengli studied her expression. Pain welled up inside him, but he asked calmly, "Do you really not remember?"

When Ming Yuan woke from a nap, she found herself in the middle of a sea of flames. The Nan Zhao dynasty had fallen. Soldiers in armor filled the streets, and the people were fleeing in panic.

Guided by the "System" in her mind, she had to save the princess and find someone powerful to rely on.

Her patron, Prince Chen, looked just like Xie Shengli. They even had the same name.

He said she had lost her memories, that she was Princess Jing Le, his A Yuan.

But Ming Yuan knew she wasn't the Princess Jing Le he was talking about.

And he wasn't her Xie Shengli, either.

Bonus Scene:

Ming Yuan: I kept having to chew on dry, hard flatbread this whole way, and I had to worry about enemies chasing me... blah blah blah... I'm exhausted. Your pastries are delicious.

What Xie Shengli heard and saw:

1. After coming back to life, his wife was wearing the most tattered clothes.

2. She used to go out with eight maids in attendance, but now she rode a horse herself and brought just one companion.

3. She used to eat better than the old Emperor. Now she ate wild greens and drank from streams.

4. She'd been hunted all the way here, overcoming every hardship just to reach his side.

Xie Shengli cast off his usual listlessness and incompetence. That very night, he raised an army and seized the throne. "Kill them all! Kill them all!"

"A Yuan, I want you to live to a hundred. I want you to smile. I want you to have no worries. I want you to stay by my side forever."
