The Prince Regrets It

Only after Gu Yunshu married into the prince's residence did she learn that Prince Xuan had wanted to marry her half-sister.

On their wedding night, the cold-hearted Prince Xuan laid down three rules. First: They would share a bed but not a quilt. Second: They would not interfere in each other's daily lives. Third: One day, he would divorce her and marry her half-sister.

Gu Yunshu lowered her eyes demurely and agreed to every rule. From then on, she shut her heart to love, kept to her place, and firmly refused to cross the line.

Among the princes of the current dynasty, Pei Mugui was the most admired. Handsome and talented in both civil and martial arts, he was the secret object of desire of countless young ladies from distinguished families.

But no one knew he had long since given his heart to someone. He liked the Rongbo family's illegitimate daughter, but his mother disliked her and instead arranged for him to marry the legitimate daughter, Gu Yunshu.

Pei Mugui was unwilling, so after the wedding he deliberately ignored his new wife and spent most of his time in his study. He had thought the woman who was interested in him would eventually lose patience and come to see him. Instead, he was the first to give in.

One day, he sent his attendants away and strolled back to the rear courtyard alone. There he saw his beautiful wife sitting in the courtyard, playing the zither beneath the moon. The melody lingered in the air, but still could not compare to the lovely smile in her eyes.

Later, Pei Mugui decided that growing old together with his wife might not be so bad after all, so he tried to get closer to her.

He started by sharing a quilt.

His wife frowned slightly, looking rather displeased. "Your Highness, you've pulled my quilt over to your side."

Pei Mugui: "..."

Then he began telling her where he was going.

His wife kept her eyes on the household accounts and didn't even look up. "Your Highness, you don't need to tell me where you're going."

Pei Mugui: "..."

Finally, he wrote her a love letter.

His wife smiled brightly. "Your Highness, is this a divorce agreement?"

Pei Mugui: "..."
