The Reborn Prince's Beloved Concubine

The people of the capital would never have dreamed that the pampered daughter of a duke would give up her ideal husband and marry a down-and-out prince who had already been cast aside. Rumor had it that she had made this bold move for two words: true love. But only the Third Prince knew the truth was nothing of the sort... The Third Prince was handsome, fit, and charming, with few words, a cool and distant air, and a high-and-mighty bearing. What a pity he was a fallen prince, abandoned by all... But Yu Jingyao, who had transmigrated here, knew that beneath that icy exterior lurked a truly vicious and ruthless man, evil hidden behind a benevolent face. So Yu Jingyao's attitude toward him was: Everyone else despises him, but I fear him alone. The whole world keeps its distance, but I alone will marry him. To grab hold of a powerful patron and place my bet, I'll marry him if he says so. However... This powerful patron is so sweet to cling to! I clung to him, and clung to him, until, uh, he really did carry me away... Reader's guide: 1. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending, sweet romance, love after an arranged marriage. 2. The heroine is a sweet, soft girl who gets adorably silly when pampered. She has no interest in anyone but the hero. The hero is scheming and aloof, and devoted to and protective of his wife. 3. An alternate-history setting. Please don't nitpick the history. My next book, The Little Wife, is now underway! [Blurb One] "For your own good, stay away from Song Shulin." Before closing her eyes in her previous life, Yao Shanshan gritted her teeth and warned herself. But when she opened her eyes in this life, she ran into Song Shulin, the capital's number-one playboy, all over again, and he even snatched her up and took her home... Shanshan: Q^Q On their wedding night, Shanshan trembled in the corner of the bed, with nowhere to run. Shanshan: Sixth Uncle, you can't make a melon ripen by force! Song Shulin: I don't eat melons. Shanshan: Sixth Uncle, things won't work out between us. Song Shulin: Oh? Then let's see. Everyone marveled that the Sixth Lord of the Duke of Wei's household had gone from being the capital's top playboy to the most powerful figure at court, able to turn the clouds with one hand and the rain with the other. Even the emperor feared him. Such a vicious and unpredictable man could make you tremble just by looking at him. How on earth did his little wife manage to live with him? How did she manage? Shanshan looked at her husband, who held their children in his arms and carefully peeled walnuts for her, and smiled with pursed lips. "We make do. What else can we do, get divorced?" [Blurb Two] I do not fear life or death. I fear only brushing past you and never being able to stay by your side. I pursued you through two lifetimes, only to protect you and keep you safe for one. I'd rather be a devil than an immortal, and let the whole world down rather than you... [Bonus Scene] Shanshan leaned over beside Song Shulin as he wrote and tentatively asked, "Can I stop calling you Sixth Uncle someday?" Song Shulin looked up. "Why?" Shanshan was nervous. "If I still call you Sixth Uncle... then what will our child call you?" Song Shulin paused, put down his brush, picked up his "little niece," and headed straight for the side room... Shanshan cried out, "Sixth Uncle, what are you doing?" Song Shulin's lips curved into a roguish smile. "We have to follow the steps. First, we have a child..." Theme:
