Transmigrated as the Crown Prince's Fake-Pregnant Consort

The eldest daughter of the He family, born to an eminent clan, was as beautiful as spring blossoms and radiant as peach flowers. Unfortunately, her father didn't love her, her stepmother didn't care for her, and the current imperial consort, her own aunt, schemed to marry her off to her nemesis, the Crown Prince. She had barely escaped one den of wolves before stumbling into another. In the months since their wedding, the couple had barely spent any time together, and their relationship was as distant as strangers.

At the time, the original owner had even racked her brains to come up with a foolish plan: get the Crown Prince drunk and fake a pregnancy to compete for his favor.

When He Miao transmigrated into her body, the original owner had just been denounced by her personal maid. The Crown Prince arrived with a prescription in hand to question her. It was a truly critical moment, perilous in the extreme.

Looking at the tall man before her, his face full of murderous intent, He Miao cheerfully raised her hands. "I confess. I overestimated myself and didn't know my place. So, tell me, would you prefer to have me torn apart by chariots or sliced to death?"

The Crown Prince: ...Isn't that confession a little too quick?

He Miao narrowly escaped death and began honoring their agreement, doing her utmost to play the part of a virtuous Crown Princess as his front, cheering him on and applauding his every success. Along the way, she also trampled her scumbag father and his whole family, letting the original owner vent some of her grievances.

The Crown Prince ascended the throne without a hitch. He Miao counted the thick stack of banknotes in her arms and happily prepared to leave after completing her mission. Who knew her fake-married partner would object? He blocked the palace gate with a dark expression. "You got what you wanted. Now you think you can just walk away?"

He Miao sighed deeply. "Your Highness, don't forget I once deceived you. Even the child was fake."

The Crown Prince's eyes gleamed. "Why not make the fake real?"

There's nothing wrong with loving money, as long as you love me too.

Sweet romance with mutual devotion, so rest assured, there will be no angst.

My new novel, Who Says I'm Not His Majesty's Real Father, is now underway. If you're interested, check it out in my author page ^_^

Here's the blurb:

The new emperor ascends the throne, and the two empress dowagers vie with each other, each wanting to marry her niece to the handsome, noble young sovereign.

Guo Nuan, who transmigrated into this world, happens to become one of their pawns.

Faced with her family's hopes, her aunt's instructions, and her enemies' scorn, Guo Nuan is under tremendous pressure. Since entering the palace, she has barely seen the emperor. How is she supposed to win his favor and get pregnant?

With no other options, Guo Nuan comes up with a foolish plan. As long as the child is officially acknowledged as imperial, it seems the father doesn't necessarily have to be the emperor himself.

So she sets her sights on the guard who is always hanging around her. She lures him into secret meetings beneath the flowers and moonlight, and once she's successfully pregnant, she'll kick him to the curb.

At the baby's first-birthday banquet, someone in the know plots to expose the new empress's affair and cast doubt on the imperial bloodline.

The entire palace waits to see her make a fool of herself. Guo Nuan nervously wipes her sweaty palms and shakily prepares to confess.

The emperor glances at the infant, who looks remarkably like him, and calmly says, "Who says he isn't my child? Step forward, and I'll spare your life."

Guo Nuan thinks, What kind of fool would willingly wear a cuckold's hat?

But when they return to their room, the man gazes at her mournfully. "You used me and then kicked me aside. As empress, to seduce a man and then abandon him without a thought for the past is truly outrageous."

Guo Nuan: ...

She thought it was just a fling, but it turns out she was the one being schemed against. Who can she even complain to?

Theme: Cherish the person before you.
