The Crown Prince Is My Dream Man

[A carefree, pleasure-seeking beauty-loving gamer x a handsome, jealous man who overthinks everything]

The first time Ji Tanzhu saw Shen Shenzhi in the game, she lamented that he had a gorgeous face but was an unromanceable NPC.

Fortunately, she was easygoing by nature. She soon put him out of her mind and started pursuing other characters.

The heir was warm and gentle, with peerless looks.

The top scholar was noble and unsullied.

The young swordsman was dashing and free-spirited.

Ji Tanzhu spread her affections evenly, becoming a master of keeping everyone happy as she planned to give each man a home.

Gradually, while lying flat day after day, Ji Tanzhu began to realize something was off.

The top scholar invited her to admire flowers and go on an outing.

The heir used his frail health as an excuse to ride with her.

The forthright young swordsman willingly gave up his freedom, saying he would be her bodyguard for life.

And then there was Crown Prince Shen Shenzhi. Though he was an unromanceable character, he always managed to find an excuse to interrupt her quests with other men.

Especially when he saw her going through story scenes with other men, the gloom in his eyes grew so thick it was almost tangible.

He looked just like a jealous husband who'd caught his wife cheating.

Ji Tanzhu felt as if she were the one being pursued.

Even someone as carefree as her couldn't help asking the System: Is there a bug in your game?

[Bonus Scene]

Ji Tanzhu met up with her rowdy friends to enjoy the night view of the capital.

The high terrace of the Moon-In-View Tower offered a view of both the moon and the city's splendor.

More importantly, the tower's top courtesan was playing the qin on the terrace that night.

Ji Tanzhu had a sudden thought and decided to invite him for a drink.

But when she arrived at a private room in the tower, the person she found was Shen Shenzhi.

With a cold, murderous expression, Shen Shenzhi blocked her escape and asked, "What are we?"

Ji Tanzhu thought it over, then replied, "Former lovers from last night."

After that, she opened the menu and tried to escape this moment by loading a save.

After three tries, the System went offline. Ji Tanzhu put on a smile and said to Shen Shenzhi, whose face was flushed with anger, "And future lovebirds, too."

The good news was that Shen Shenzhi didn't kill her in a fit of rage.

The bad news was that his face wasn't red solely from anger.

The wine cups on the table were empty.

The wine was the famous Daywarm Fragrance, known for its pleasant aroma and amorous effects.

Ji Tanzhu knew it.

Shen Shenzhi knew it too.

A few things to know before reading:

1. This is a romance-focused story. The heroine entered the game to experience romance, so before the ending, she will try to pursue men of different types.

2. There may be rivalry and jealousy, with men pampering women and women pampering men. I can't promise every bowl of water will be evenly divided. For now, Shen Shenzhi is the official husband.

3. The heroine is neither delicate nor boorish. She's an unconventional player.

Upcoming novel, The Lonely Rabbit:

On the seventh day of her widowhood, her dead husband and her brother-in-law came to her door at the same time.

-

On the day Zou Jiyi got married, her husband disappeared, his fate unknown.

Some of the guests mocked her, others pitied her, but every last one of them treated her like a joke.

Some felt sorry that she'd been born into a humble family and had no chance of marrying again. Even though her husband had died in such an undignified manner, she would still have to spend the rest of her life a widow for the sake of her dissolute, shameless husband.

Zou Jiyi acted as though she couldn't hear the gossip outside. Even when people brought it up to her face, she wept as though she still loved her late husband deeply.

Until midnight on the seventh day after Zou Jiyi married into the Li family.

The night was dark and still. Her dead husband came back.

Inside, her ghost of a husband was close beside her, his expression full of tenderness, though every word he spoke was bitter with regret.

Outside, while all was silent, the shadow of a young man appeared on the door and window, flickering in time with his faint voice.

The ghost bit Zou Jiyi's earlobe, and the sharp pain made her draw a sharp breath.

"You told your husband to seek his next life in peace, not to worry about the unfinished ties of this one. So there really is someone waiting to take my place."
