Ji Mingyao had been secretly seeing Young Master Lu for seven years. On the day of their engagement banquet, she discovered her fiance was cheating.
But no one knew she'd hidden a man in her carriage, too.
The wedding date had been set, and everyone in the capital knew.
Even after his affair was exposed, her fiance still insisted on marrying her.
On the wedding day, a beautiful woman came to kneel outside the General's Manor of Zhen'guo with a three-year-old boy, begging to have him acknowledged as part of the family.
Her future parents-in-law advised her to be magnanimous. They said she could raise the boy herself and get rid of his mother, and she'd still be the mistress of the General's Manor of Zhen'guo.
Her fiance was certain she couldn't let go of their seven-year relationship, and pressured her to back down.
Everyone thought Ji Mingyao had no way out and would have to marry him. But she called off the wedding in front of everyone,
and just a few months later, news spread that she was marrying someone else.
On her wedding day, the young lord, haggard and drunk, stopped the bridal sedan. "A Yao, how can you just end seven years between us?"
When she rejected him, he flew into a rage and accused her in the street: "A Yao and I only parted a few days ago, and now she's marrying someone else. Were you already keeping a pretty boy behind my back while we were together?"
A rider burst onto the scene. Wearing an ornate wedding robe, he pointed his sword at Ji Mingyao's former fiance. "I am the pretty boy you're talking about."
The speaker was Pei Ruochu, the crown prince and the unattainable dream man whom every noblewoman in the capital pursued.
No one knew Pei Ruochu had loved Ji Mingyao for years, waiting patiently and humbling himself, begging her to give him a place in her life.

The next novel, "The Crown Prince as My Stepbrother." Please add it to your reading list!
Princess Huayang Xiao Rongyin is the most dazzling jewel in Luoyang Palace, famed for her beauty throughout the city.
At sixteen, she learns that she is the posthumous child of the Empress and the Chief Minister.
The revelation of her parentage sparks a scramble among her imperial brothers, and even Emperor Wei begins looking at her differently.
To protect herself, she seeks help from the noble, peerless Crown Prince Xiao Heng, hailed as a virtuous gentleman beyond reproach.
They had been close as children, even sleeping in the same bed,
but three years ago, Xiao Heng suddenly became cold and distant toward her.
She knows she must offer something in return if she wants her imperial brother's help.
On a rainy night, she escapes the clutches of the Third Prince. Her thin, sheer gown is soaked through as she knocks on the Eastern Palace gates and falls into Xiao Heng's arms. Her supple waist winds around him like a snake as she offers herself to him.
Xiao Heng finally agrees to let her stay.
But things don't go as she imagined.
She grinds his ink, plays the qin, and prepares incense, keeping him company every day, but he only allows her to stay in the Eastern Palace as his study companion.
Then news spreads that the crown prince will choose a consort. Afraid she'll eventually be sent away, she ruthlessly drugs Xiao Yan and takes his virginity.
Xiao Heng is furious. He sends her out of the palace that very night, to Linzhu Temple.
Xiao Rongyin has never been the obedient sort. She isn't willing to spend her whole life beside the Buddha, so she finds a chance to fake her death and escape, then marries the Prince of Yan.
*
They were inseparable in their youth, and Xiao Heng developed feelings for Xiao Rongyin that he couldn't admit.
Their forbidden relationship as brother and sister was unacceptable to the world.
Xiao Heng can only suppress his forbidden desires, locking himself away and resolving never to see her again.
On the day Xiao Rongyin's true parentage is revealed, he can barely contain his joy.
As crown prince, the first lesson he learned was restraint,
but he knowingly fell for her and willingly drank the aphrodisiac wine she passed to him mouth to mouth.
That night, he did all the depraved things with her that he'd dreamed of countless times.
He sends her out of the palace only to give her a new identity, so she can become crown princess openly and honorably.
But the eunuch he sent to care for her reports that Princess Huayang has been killed by the rebellious bandits!
He nearly vomits blood and loses half his life.
When they meet again, Xiao Rongyin has become the beloved consort of the Prince of Yan.
Years of longing turn to rage and drive him completely mad.
*
That night, Crown Prince Xiao Yan enters the brocade tent with a sword in hand. Blood drips from the blade, and Xiao Rongyin wakes from her sleep.
His icy palm strokes her cheek, then slowly moves down, coiling around her like a poisonous snake as he grips her slender neck. "Don't make a sound. Your husband is right outside."
Then he covers her mouth, gripping her lower back tightly, and murmurs, "Little sister, if you won't come with me, do you want to watch me slaughter every bandit who took you and raze the kingdom of Yan to the ground?"
Reader's guide: 1. Not related by blood. He takes her by force.
2. The heroine has been married before and is not a virgin, but her first time with the hero is his first time, and she is his sexual awakening. Character dynamic: bewitching temptress vs. seemingly aloof and virtuous, but actually a mad, obsessive yandere.
Theme: Less formula, more sincerity
"In order to vent his anger, the late emperor sent King Yong..." This is a big bug for the author~ That is Li Fei
"Ji Mingyao is not angry, but..." This is a big bug for the author~ Confusing statements
Dear author, do you know how much advance you have received... [Changed] [changed] I can still read "The Prince's Stepbrother" and "Brothers and Wives" in my lifetime (actually I want to read these two books) 🙏 🙏 It seems that I have gone crazy mentally. I am crazy about copywriting every day. I click in 800 times a day. In fact, you already have the full text of the manuscript, right? ([Empty bowl] I'm hungry)
It's good to watch. It would be nice if there were more extras.
When will the new book be released?
Looks good, the flowers are finished!! [Spread flowers][spread flowers]
"A kind of bandit in Guangming Village" is a big thorn in the side of the author~
Congratulations, it's so well written! The chase is over, scatter flowers
It's finished. It's one of the few novels that I followed throughout the whole process. It's really well written.
"Being a member of Guangming Village" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ But
