Reborn, I Seduced the Crown Prince to Call Off the Engagement

Shen Xianzhen had a dream.

She dreamed that after their wedding, her seemingly gentle fiance was actually in love with someone else. She was left alone in an empty room, repeatedly framed by her fiance's cousin, and then kidnapped by bandits during an outing and imprisoned in a villa.

She couldn't make out the bandit's face in the dream, but she felt utterly humiliated.

When she awoke, she confirmed that her fiance had a cousin, and decided to break off the engagement to avoid repeating the dream.

The imperial decree that had arranged the two families' marriage had come from the emperor himself, and could not be changed lightly. The emperor was devoted to the path of immortality and difficult to meet, so Shen Xianzhen settled for going to the crown prince instead.

Crown Prince Ling Jue was proper and dignified, and had long enjoyed a reputation for virtue.

Though he'd used plenty of schemes in private to hold on to his position as heir, the most outrageous thing he'd ever done was fall in love with his cousin's fiancee.

He knew Shen Xianzhen was deliberately tempting him. He knew she had another agenda, but he was more than willing to play along.

He defied his father's wishes for her, schemed to end her engagement, showered her with fine clothes and food, and was even willing to risk the whole world accusing him of stealing his subject's wife in order to marry her.

But on the eve of the imperial decree, Shen Xianzhen, who had gone with him to a villa outside the capital for an outing, suddenly turned pale and told him, "Let's end this here. Let's part ways for good!"

...Liar.

She had dared to deceive him.

...No.

She had always been so innocent. Some villain must have tricked her.

He didn't blame her.

But he would never let her go.
