So What If I Steal My Lord's Wife?

As the Grand Preceptor's daughter, Mu Xujun was renowned throughout the land for her talent and beauty. At eighteen, she married the crown prince as arranged by their betrothal. But the emperor was incompetent, and rebellions broke out across the land. Five years later, the rebels stormed the capital and captured the crown prince. Mu Xujun survived the chaos as the crown princess, then hurried to the Heir of Prince Zhenping's tent that very night, kneeling to beg him to send troops north to save her husband. Yet he didn't even glance at the many benefits she offered. He merely asked, indifferently, "Have you finished?" Heartbroken, Mu Xujun climbed into her carriage and left. But that very night, the Heir of Prince Zhenping's troops stopped her on the road back to the capital. On a chestnut horse, he wore a fitted riding outfit. His towering figure was like a cold mountain as he looked down at her. He said, "I want you to divorce him and marry me." As the Heir of Prince Zhenping, Jing Yu was unruly and undisciplined in his youth, and had done more than his share of rotten things. Later, he was sent to the capital to study alongside the princes and nobles. There, Jing Yu met Mu Xujun, the perfect woman who was always poised and proper. She was the Grand Preceptor's only daughter, the Grand Tutor's prized pupil, and a talented woman renowned throughout the land. She was surrounded by countless enviable accolades, and had long ago found a man just as perfect as herself. He was merely a carefree, dissolute young lord. He knew she had never paid him any attention, and had never entertained any improper thoughts about her. He only wanted to keep her quietly in his heart and live out his life that way. But fate had other plans, and the two of them shared a brief romance. He had barely had time to rejoice when he received news that she was engaged to the crown prince. He respected her choice and prepared to let her go. But on the eve of her wedding, he learned she was marrying the wrong man, and at last couldn't hold back from going to the capital to find her. He set aside all his pride, only to receive her indifferent reply: "I don't know you." It turned out that in all their years as classmates, she had never once remembered him. The memory he had treasured like a jewel was, to her, nothing but a stain. Many years later, Heaven brought her before him once more. With tears in her eyes, she begged him to save her husband. Knowing he shouldn't get entangled with this heartless, unfeeling woman, he still couldn't bring himself to leave her behind. Perhaps she was simply his doom. In this lifetime, he would never escape her. Reading guide: 1. Both leads are virgins, though the female lead has been married before. Theme: Treat those who show you kindness with kindness
