The Princess Was Abducted by a Hostage Prince from an Enemy State!

[A possessive, scheming hostage prince from an enemy state x a sunshine princess adored by all]

Liang Zhiyi stayed up late reading a novel. The hero had been a crown prince, but his birth father despised him and sent him to an enemy state as a hostage, where he suffered endless humiliation.

He endured it all, concealing his talents and keeping a low profile. In the end, he escaped back to his homeland, killed his father and seized the throne, then led his army to crush the enemy state that had oppressed him. At last, he had his revenge.

Liang Zhiyi went to bed content.

When she woke up, she had become a princess of the enemy state.

Yes, the very princess who often bullied the hostage prince in the novel, and whose country he later destroyed.

Luckily, the young hostage prince hadn't turned dark yet. There was still time to change things.

As the only princess of Great Liang, Liang Zhiyi was showered with affection and lived in luxury. But she was very busy:

In the morning, she had to visit her father, the emperor, and ask him not to bully the neighboring small states, but to build friendly relations, treat the people well, and be a wise ruler.

At noon, she dined with her brothers. She urged her reclusive, depressed Third Prince brother to become more cheerful and sunny; asked her bloodthirsty, war-loving Second Prince brother to stop spending every day fighting; and advised her cold, ruthless Crown Prince brother to try being a little kinder.

In the afternoon, she visited the imperial consorts in the harem and persuaded them to stop scheming against and hurting one another. Why not all play Fight the Landlord together instead?

At night, she had someone check whether the hostage sent from the enemy state was sleeping soundly, and made sure to ask after his health and comfort him.

Liang Zhiyi: "For the peace of our country, I've really done so much."

At last, thanks to Liang Zhiyi's efforts, the hero never turned dark and was safely sent home.

Just as Liang Zhiyi was breathing a sigh of relief, news arrived from the southwest. The hostage had returned home and, in less than three months, purged the court and overthrew the former emperor to claim the throne. Now the young new emperor was on his way to Great Liang with a huge procession of people and carriages!

Liang Zhiyi broke down. "How did the plot end up right back where it started?"

She was about to sacrifice herself for her country and meet her death bravely

when she saw that the man's procession was carrying cartloads of rare treasures and boxes upon boxes of betrothal gifts.

The young emperor knelt on one knee and spoke slowly. "I haven't come to declare war. I've come to ask for the hand of your country's princess."

They first met on a narrow path in the palace. Xu Yunjun watched the pampered princess of the enemy state extend her hand, coldly expecting her to slap him.

Instead, she smiled brightly and held out her open palm.

She gave him a piece of candy.

Upcoming novel blurb below

Chen Shuyi transmigrated into the villainess, the male lead's arranged fiancée, in an old-fashioned, melodramatic romance set in the entertainment industry.

According to the plot, the male lead would meet the sweet, innocent heroine, and the two would fall head over heels in a domineering CEO romance. The villainess, his original fiancée, would instead become an unwelcome third party.

Chen Shuyi arrived just in time for one of the novel's major scenes.

The domineering male lead put his arm around the heroine and looked at Chen Shuyi with a frown of disgust. "I want you to break off our engagement. Don't get in the way of my relationship with her."

The sweet, innocent heroine leaned into his arms, tears streaming down her face. "We're truly in love. Please, let us be together."

Chen Shuyi, who was supposed to be the legitimate fiancée, had become the villain in everyone's eyes, a vicious woman trying to ruin the romance between the hero and heroine.

Chen Shuyi: "..."

Chen Shuyi: "I don't understand."

Chen Shuyi was the heiress of Chen Entertainment, with a powerful family and two older brothers who were both CEOs. She was the real deal, a rich young lady who had looks and money in spades.

After taking over this body, Chen Shuyi promptly broke off the engagement, dumped her fiancé, and turned her attention to her career.

When she met a rookie director short on funds and down on his luck, she generously invested in his work and offered her support.

When she encountered a struggling young star who had been smeared with rumors and was buried under scandals, she signed him to her company.

When she came across an obscure, unknown boy band, she gave them a helping hand and the chance to pursue their dreams.

Chen Shuyi became a godlike figure in the industry. She wasn't an artist, yet she became a top celebrity, and her fans were the biggest fans of other people's idols.

One evening at a banquet,

the male lead, whose status had plummeted since the broken engagement and who now deeply regretted his choices, stood before Chen Shuyi, impeccably dressed and charming. He tried to win her back with heartfelt words. "I was wrong before. I didn't understand what real love was and chose the wrong person, but now..."

"Wait," Chen Shuyi interrupted him, looking completely baffled. "Who are you?"

At her words, the male lead's face darkened. The powerful figures nearby, who had been quietly keeping an eye on Chen Shuyi, all breathed a sigh of relief.

When they were alone, he pinned her against the soft sofa in the lounge.

"Your former fiancé?"

"I don't even remember him."

"Miss Chen, you spent a fortune on the King of Singers?"

"It was nothing."

"Miss Chen, you went out and ordered ten male escorts?"

Chen Shuyi had had enough. She grabbed his tie and pulled the jealous man close, then said in a low voice, "I order you to spend all the time you waste saying this irrelevant nonsense kissing me instead."

Theme: Kindness leads to good relationships.
