--Blurb--

Bu Ningbai took a job. Half a month later, a beautiful maid had appeared by the Crown Prince's side.

She protected him with her own body, beguiled him with clever words, warmed him with feigned affection, and coaxed him with false sincerity. Bu Ningbai used every trick she had, and finally won the Crown Prince's heart.

She was just one step away from completing the job and was about to seduce him and then abandon him when the unexpected happened.

A month later, she discovered she was pregnant.

Bu Ningbai: ...

Bu Ningbai: That's going to cost extra.

Before she and the employer had even reached an agreement, the wise and mighty Crown Prince had already changed completely. He fussed over her all day and worried constantly. He was nothing like the aloof, arrogant man she'd met at first.

Love was wonderful, but professional ethics mattered more. After giving birth to her baby, Bu Ningbai staged a dramatic breakup, then lightly touched down on her toes and vanished without a trace.

Six years later, she took another job. Just as she was playing the lovesick maiden and pouring out her devotion, a cold laugh suddenly sounded behind her.

She shuddered. She'd rather die than turn around. Just as she was about to make a run for it, a little tyke came running toward her with a candied hawthorn skewer in each hand, calling in a sweet little voice, "Daddy, have some candied hawthorn!"

...Help! How does half this child's face look so much like hers?!

Zhao Qian had only ever loved one woman in his life. She was a liar.

The moment he first looked down and saw her, the deception began.

For countless days and nights afterward, he soothed their child to sleep and looked at those familiar brows and eyes, telling himself each time that a liar wasn't worth remembering.

But how could he take back the love he'd given?

All he could do was find her and make her take responsibility.

Little Scene:

Kid: Daddy, what does Mommy look like?

Crown Prince: I've forgotten.

Kid: Then you must have a portrait of her, right?

Crown Prince: I don't.

Kid: What if I meet Mommy and don't recognize her?

Crown Prince: ...

Crown Prince: If you meet her, she'll recognize you.

Kid: What about you, Daddy?

Crown Prince: She doesn't recognize me.

Beautiful Con Artist × Unlucky Crown Prince

--Blurb for the upcoming After My Amnesiac Husband Loved Me Like His Life--

Gu Ying and Chu Ke had been married for six years. They treated each other like ice and couldn't stand the sight of each other.

She hated his cold-heartedness, and he despised her deep scheming.

Just as they were about to successfully divorce, Chu Ke lost his memory.

Amnesiac Chu Ke was reserved and proper, but when he was alone with her, he blushed. He was adorably innocent.

Gu Ying slowly revealed a kind (sinister) smile.

What a godsend! If she didn't give him a hard time now, when would she get the chance?

And so...

"Husband, you haven't told Yingying you love her today!"

"Husband, Yingying wants a jade hairpin carved by your own hands!"

"Husband, Yingying really can't live without you, boohoo!"

Watching Chu Ke dance to her tune, genuinely treating her like his beloved wife, Gu Ying got carried away and decided to take things a step further.

She bribed the doctor in advance, then shyly took Chu Ke's hand and placed it on her belly. "Husband, Yingying has a baby on the way!"

Just as she expected, Chu Ke stood there dumbfounded, utterly foolish. She was about to call the doctor in, but Chu Ke suddenly shouted, "Send for the imperial physician!"

Gu Ying: ???

Her prank had gotten out of hand. Despairing, she held out her hand to the imperial physician.

"Congratulations, Madam. You're expecting!"

Gu Ying: ????

#I messed with my amnesiac husband and now it's backfired. What do I do? Asking online, urgent!#

#Can I still run away while pregnant? Asking online, urgent!#

Chu Ke was very happy with his life seven years later.

To find one person's heart and stay together until their hair turned white: his youthful wish had come true. He and his wife loved each other wholeheartedly, and they had a child.

Their life was perhaps a little too sweet, but there was nothing wrong with that.

Until one day, the woman he loved disappeared.

Gu Ying hid here and there, but Chu Ke found her in the end.

She hung her head and resigned herself to her fate. "Go on, how do you want to get back at me?"

Chu Ke looked at her hand, which had instinctively moved to protect her belly, his gaze dark. "Yingying, you've wronged me deeply. How could a little revenge make up for it? Why not stay with me until we're old, and grant the wish I had when I was young?"

Premise: Equality and respect.
