Husband and Wife Flee Their Marriage Together

[The petite, pretty, spirited sweetheart and the icy, scheming scholar]

His Majesty decrees a marriage: the daughter of Grand Tutor Wen and the carefree Prince are a match made in heaven. The wedding shall take place on an auspicious day.

Wen Rongrong scoffed. A match made in heaven? The Carefree Prince was nearly thirty, suffered from a mental affliction, and even drooled when he ate. He was nothing but a useless outcast abandoned by the imperial family.

Though she was a concubine's daughter, she refused to become a pawn of power, or the laughingstock of everyone in the capital, young and old.

So she resolutely fled the wedding, only to be “dragged” back to the Carefree Prince's residence...

To earn her keep, she signed up to serve under the Imperial Preceptor, hoping to save money for a second escape.

The closer Wen Rongrong got to the Imperial Preceptor, the more she felt he was a true genius, so much better than her own silly Fox, Fifth Lord.

But then the Imperial Preceptor's disguise came off! The man His Majesty had honored as a divine being was Fifth Lord Xiahou Xue?!

So she'd gone through all that trouble for nothing, only to remain at the mercy of that silly fox? But then she thought about it: that great figure was actually her husband! Maybe she was the one who'd come out ahead...

The Carefree Prince, truly scheming: Hah. I just want to watch you look adorable as you try to escape, only to find you can't get out of my grasp.

Later, Wen Rongrong discovered that Fifth Lord concealed a world of death and ruin. Every step he took was strewn with bones, yet behind him lay the hopes of countless people. He was peerless in this mortal world, worthy of ascending to the highest seat.

The scheming prince: So, are you ready to ascend to the highest seat with me?
