Married to My Cold Husband Overnight [Here I Come]

🤗 A story in the same series as Yan Bao's, but this one is about marrying first and falling in love later, with a powerful man lowering his pride. Please add it to your favorites 🥰 If not for that accident, Zhenzhen would never have crossed paths with His Highness the Crown Prince in her life. The Crown Prince was blessed with a heavenly appearance, lofty and untouchable, untouched by the mortal world. She was merely a discarded daughter cast out by a low-ranking official. Their statuses were worlds apart, as different as heaven and earth. One night, under the influence of a Lovebinding Gu, they unexpectedly became intimate. With nowhere to go, Zhenzhen had no choice but to seek out the Crown Prince. "I beg Your Highness, for the sake of our night together, to grant this commoner a way to live. I know my status is lowly and would never presume to be your equal. I would be content to serve as a lowly maid, sweeping floors and washing clothes." The Crown Prince said nothing, lowering his eyes to gaze at her for a long while. That night, upheaval shook the palace. The Emperor and Empress were furious and argued with the Eastern Palace throughout the night, until the Crown Prince fought for an imperial decree and hurled it at the residence of the low-ranking official. Zhenzhen did not become a lowly maid. The position of Crown Princess, the one every noblewoman in the city had anxiously coveted, instead fell to this lowborn girl. Zhenzhen knew that their marriage contract was simply a matter of mutual benefit. The Crown Prince felt nothing for her and regarded her only as an antidote to the Gu poison. The heir to the throne thought the same. But later... On countless deep nights when the Lovebinding Gu flared, he would sometimes wonder through his pain whether what he felt for Zhenzhen was desire or tenderness. The year the Xuanwu Rebellion broke out, rebel forces stormed Chang'an, and in a single night countless families were torn apart. The Crown Prince left the Emperor's southbound escape party and stubbornly risked his life to race back to Chang'an. But the last news he received of his wife was that she was pregnant, and on the night the rebels breached the imperial city, she vanished without a trace... "The world is fickle. At first, he thought theirs was merely a doomed entanglement. Only later did he understand that of all the hardships in life, wanting something you cannot have is the most heart-rending." The ending is sweet 🥺 Don't worry, don't worry (Yun Jiang nods vigorously) (very much trying to stay alive) One-on-one, happy ending, fictional setting [Everything related to this story has been documented. Do not plagiarize.] Theme: Red beans grow in the southern land; how many sprigs appear when spring comes? I hope you will gather many, for they are the thing that best expresses longing.
