After a Mix-Up on a Blind Date, I Can't Get Away

Anonymous user: Want to hear about your romance stories?

Thanks for asking.

My name is Qiao Yan. Three days ago, my scumbag boyfriend cheated on me.

In a fit of anger, I decided to rehome the Border Collie he'd given me, making him another dog's live-in son-in-law.

As luck would have it, that day the coffee shop was full of all kinds of people, and we both mistook each other for someone else.

Taking my responsibilities seriously, I suggested letting our two good boys get to know each other for two months, and personally signed the agreement.

When the two-month trial was up, just as I was steeling myself to hand my dog over, he floored the gas and drove me to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Only when I saw the red marriage certificate in my hand did I realize that the whole thing had been a misunderstanding from the start.

The worst part was that he was my boss!

Is it too late for me to run away now?

A month later, the comments underneath said:

Netizen 1: This has to be fake... I don't believe it. So what happened next?

Netizen 2: Next, they had a kid and named him Editor (smiling).

One day, the boss saw this post and asked coolly, "So you were setting up a doggy blind date back then?"

Qiao Yan said solemnly, "Let's not bring up the past."

Boss: "There's something I've never told you."

"The dog he was supposed to meet was male, too," he added gently, pointing at the two dogs playing together. "They both got it wrong."

"?"

So there had been absolutely no successful matchmaking at all!!!

Qiao Yan fell apart.

["Your Majesty, Think This Through!"]

[Two-faced tyrant X mute, socially anxious illegitimate son]

Rumor had it that the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's residence, who was about to enter the palace, was graceful and lovely, a peerless beauty.

But only Emperor Xiao Su knew that the person sent to the palace was indeed an exceptional beauty, but unfortunately, he was a mute young man.

After being reborn, Xiao Su couldn't reconcile the bright, spirited youth before him with the image of the man lying in a pool of blood in his previous life.

When the prime minister offered his daughter, Xiao Su said, "Doesn't the prime minister have an illegitimate son? Send him to the palace."

The assembled ministers were baffled. "Your Majesty, think this through."

-

The illegitimate son, Yun Sui, thought he was entering the palace as a consort in place of his older sister. He was careful at every turn, afraid of being exposed and provoking the emperor's wrath.

But just three days after he entered the palace, other consorts came to pick on him. They accidentally spilled pollen all over him, giving him an itchy rash over his entire body.

The next day, the emperor said with a dark expression, "You really are my loyal ministers. Since the imperial harem is full of consorts, why don't you take them home in shifts and look after them properly?"

The harem was dismissed. The ministers' faces turned ashen. "Your Majesty, think this through!"

-

The prime minister couldn't give up on coveting the empress's position. He tried to use Yun Sui to send his legitimate daughter into the palace, but Yun Sui drank the medicine they'd prepared. When he woke the next day, he kicked Xiao Su, who had been sleeping beside him, right off the bed.

With his plans thrown into disarray, the emperor slammed the table. "Since the prime minister wishes to be closer to me, then I'll make your beloved son empress. What do you say, Prime Minister?"

The ministers were terrified but didn't dare defy him. "Your Majesty..."

The soon-to-be empress held a bowl of milk pudding, pondering how to apologize for his rudeness the night before. Hearing this, he could only cry out silently in his heart, unable to explain himself:

Your Majesty, think this through!!!
