The Heir's Concubine Ran Away

In her previous life, A Li lost both her parents and had no choice but to seek refuge with relatives, scraping by as a dependent in the marquis's household.

Unfortunately, she was born with almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and eyes as limpid as spring water. Her slender waist and soft voice were captivatingly beautiful.

The marquis's household was full of wolves circling her. Only the heir, Pei Cun, always wore a cold expression, seeming aloof and noble.

A Li thought he hated her and avoided him every day, but someone schemed to send her to Pei Cun's bed, and she became his favored concubine.

But Pei Cun had no place for her in his heart. After that night of passion, he never visited her room again. So when she miscarried and bled to death, no one was there to care for her.

Just as A Li was about to depart as a vengeful spirit, she saw Pei Cun one last time, only to hear him casually say to someone:

"My cousin? She's just the niece of a concubine."

Reborn, A Li refuses to repeat the past and begins planning her escape.

She learns to act like a favored concubine, pleasing Pei Cun and putting on a gentle, magnanimous front. In secret, she saves money and finds helpers, then fakes her death and flees while Pei Cun is away from the capital.

She thinks she has covered her tracks perfectly, but less than a year later Pei Cun finds her.

By then, her belly is heavily swollen and she is about to give birth. A refined young gentleman is also by her side. Everyone assumes the two of them are the loving couple, but Pei Cun pushes through the crowd and comes to her, whispering in her ear:

"You think I'll believe that?"

A Li looks at him and replies calmly, "My lord... believe what you want."
