I Married a Rich Playboy, Then Reclaimed My Kingdom

My next novel will be The Folded Dai (hzc). Please add it to your collection! The blurb is at the bottom~ After a sudden coup, Princess Yu Huaiyu escaped the imperial palace and became a refugee. At a moment of crisis, the one who saved her was her former fiance, a spoiled wastrel she'd never been able to stand. Life isn't easy. Yuyu sighed. She thought it over: Though her fiance had once spent money like water and done as he pleased, he'd at least been a dashing young marquis, famous throughout Chang'an. Most importantly, he knew martial arts. After weighing the pros and cons, Huaiyu decided they should stick together. As soon as she could get back to her imperial brother, she could turn on her fiance without a second thought. She could even teach him a lesson! But what she never expected was that this wastrel would help her restore the country, expand its borders, and bring peace to the realm. And through his actions, he would teach her a very hard lesson. ## Xue Chen's life had always been dull. He coveted neither power nor wealth. Then he discovered that the spark of life in him was a woman he'd once despised. At first, he had pitied her. He never expected that in the end, he'd be digging a huge hole for himself. That night, Xue Chen drew Huaiyu into his arms and kissed her flushed skin with light, star-like touches. His voice was low and hoarse. "Jiaojiao, don't go." A bold, carefree, poker-faced hottie X a delicate, silly, feisty little drama queen In short, they're a bickering couple. Neither of them is perfect. Coming next: The Folded Dai A kind, resilient, and refined scholar X a sickly, twisted prince. Dai Zheng disguised herself as a man. Before heading to sit the imperial exams, she saved a young man named Gu Cheng. The youth was like a bloodstained blade, his eyes holding a deep gloom she couldn't understand. The two should have had nothing to do with each other, but their paths crossed. Dai Zheng treated him very well, but Gu Cheng saw her only as a pawn and a boor. Then, at the start of the new year, Gu Cheng made a comeback, reclaimed the position that had always been his, and burned down the place where the two of them had lived. When Dai Zheng saw the carriage come to collect Gu Cheng, she smiled faintly. He was the noble benefactor she'd never be worthy of, as he always said, while she was nothing but a joke for him to amuse himself with. After that, Dai Zheng swore she would never be anyone's joke again. After she passed the imperial exams, a secret letter summoned her to the imperial garden. She was unexpectedly pinned against a rockery. Only after seeing his familiar face did she connect him with the notorious, cruel, and wanton Ninth Prince. The young man in her memories wore a cruel, mocking smile. "Do you know how they'll punish you for deceiving the emperor?" * Gu Cheng appeared refined and ethereal, but in truth he was ruthless. From a Ninth Prince who hid his ambitions to the exalted Crown Prince, his creed was: I'd rather wrong others than let them wrong me. Dai Zheng was once a lowly commoner he'd looked down on, and an official from a rival faction who had become a thorn in his side. She was also the dream lover he could neither taste nor beg for. Later, Dai Zheng's identity was exposed. Because her achievements outweighed her crimes, she received only a light punishment, and noble young men lined up at her door to ask for her hand. What shocked the world was that the Crown Prince, a man above all others, knelt outside her residence in the pouring rain, begging the top scholar to become his wife. Dai Zheng smiled coolly. "Your Highness should get up. Who I choose has nothing to do with you." Reader's Note: 1. Kind and strong heroine X naturally wicked hero 2. One-on-one, with a groveling ex. I just love the emperor-and-commoner-girl pairing. 3. If you don't like him, don't get angry over this scumbag. He's fictional. If you meet someone like him in real life, run! Theme: You have to work hard to put food on the table
