[Seeking Bookmarks for My Next Novel, After Breaking Off My Engagement, I Became the Crown Princess]
Xiao Qinghe, Prince of Zhenbei, has guarded the northern frontier for many years. Cold and ruthless, he has slain countless enemies and is feared by all as a god of war.
Everyone knows that after his despised princess consort died, he kept a concubine he treasured above all else.
The amnesiac Wan Yuli, the apple of his eye, says: Ha! It's all fake. I'm just a stand-in for the princess consort, and I don't have any feelings!
No matter. That won't stop me from saving up silver and running away.
Faced with all manner of torment from that jerk of a man, and constant hostility from his son, Wan Yuli stays by their side, showering them with sweet words, then makes her escape with a huge bag of gold, silver, and jewels.
But the little boy who always looked down his nose at her runs over and clings to her leg, asking in a soft voice, "Mother, are you leaving me?"
And that jerk of a man charges alone through a storm of blades and fire into the enemy camp, digging her out of a pile of corpses. His face is smeared with blood and fury, yet he pleads hoarsely, "Don't go..."
Later, after her ninety-ninth failed escape and being dragged back by that man, Wan Qing finally regains her memories: ...The princess consort was me?
#I became my own stand-in, and the person I stood in for was myself???#
One-on-one sweet romance. Father and son both end up regretting everything!
The character and novel names are taken from the line, "Rain falls on pear blossoms as the door stays shut; youth forgotten, youth misspent."
