I Made the Crown Prince Marry Into My Family

[Coming Next: My Concubine's Favor] Please add it to your reading list! The main story is complete, and bonus chapters are still being updated~~~~ Shen Ru Jiao is nineteen this year. Once known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, she has been left unmarried until now after her fiancé, the heir to the Marquis of Yongning, died unexpectedly. It isn't that Shen Ru Jiao is lacking in any way. The problem is that the heir's mother is the emperor's own elder sister, Princess Anqing. When the heir died, the princess demanded that Shen Ru Jiao marry a memorial tablet. Shen Ru Jiao refused. Ever since, not a single family in Shengjing has dared to marry her.

With no other option, Shen Ru Jiao decided to take a husband into her family. She picked through all the poor scholars in the capital, only for her groom to flee on their wedding day. In a fit of anger, Shen Ru Jiao dressed up the little beggar she'd picked up earlier in wedding clothes and married him instead. The little beggar had no power, influence, talent, or money, but he was handsome! Despite the whole capital laughing at her, Shen Ru Jiao happily married the pretty little beggar and entered the bridal chamber. Then, on the day she discovered she was pregnant, the Crown Prince's guards arrived at the Shen residence in a grand procession.

"We welcome the Crown Princess back to the Eastern Palace!"

Shen Ru Jiao: "??"

The little beggar gazed at her tenderly. "Jiao Jiao, come back to the palace with me."

Little Scene

A marriage everyone had once mocked suddenly became the envy of all. But how could Shen Ru Jiao, whose reputation had fallen to rock bottom, possibly be worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince? The noble young ladies all tried desperately to take her place. They never expected to see the Crown Prince holding Shen Ru Jiao's jade-like feet, sore from a pebble, and carefully massaging them.

"Jiao Jiao, does it still hurt? Shall I blow on it for you?"

Feeling the jealous stares coming at her from every direction, as if they wanted to pierce her with a thousand arrows, Shen Ru Jiao smiled with breathtaking beauty.

"You need to blow on it, kiss me, hug me, and lift me up high!"

The next day, Shen Ru Jiao clutched her waist, which had been held up all night, and ground her teeth. She'd never show off their affection again!

One true pairing, sweet romance, 1v1, happy ending. Bonus chapters will appear at irregular intervals, at 9:00 p.m.++ Strongly fictionalized setting; the worldbuilding is very loose, and the entire plot serves the romance. Please don't argue. Thank you. If you do, you're right, everything you say is right.

Next up: My Concubine's Favor

In her first year as the Marquis of Pingyuan's concubine, Su Qing He tried everything she could think of, but failed to win even a sliver of his affection. In the second year, she finally lured the bastard into bed and managed to get a little tenderness from him. By the third year, Su Qing He had had enough. The bastard could do whatever he wanted; she was done serving him.

After obtaining a letter of divorce and reclaiming her freedom, Su Qing He thrived among the common folk. One day, she was chatting with her regular customers outside her shop when she turned around and saw the bastard she'd served for three years.

"Come back with me."

"I hear the marquis is about to marry. Qing He would never ruin such a blessed match. Please don't come back again."

A few days later...

"I've called off the engagement. Marry me, and you'll be the marchioness."

"Thank you for the honor, Marquis, but Qing He is already engaged. The wedding is in three days."

The Marquis of Pingyuan's face darkened like iron. He simply hoisted Su Qing He over his shoulder and carried her away. He didn't notice the triumphant smile that flashed across the face of the delicate young woman over his shoulder.

Su Qing He had always known what her advantages were, and how dangerous her beauty could be to someone of humble birth like her. The Marquis of Pingyuan fell into a trap called tenderness. By the time he came to his senses, Su Qing He had him wrapped around her little finger. No matter how many tricks he had up his sleeve, he couldn't bear to hurt even the tiniest bit of the soft, delicate woman in his arms.
