The Crown Prince Insists on Becoming My Lover

Chu Lingyue once had a dream. In it, she was the Crown Prince's only Liangdi, the one known for decisive brutality, an iron-fisted approach, and a host of terrifying infamy.

The Chu family sent her to the Eastern Palace because of her flower-like beauty, hoping she could preserve their immense wealth and glory. Alas, things did not go as they wished. Before she had even met the Crown Prince, a cup of poisoned wine sent her to the afterlife.

With her life hanging by a thread, Chu Lingyue learned her lesson and decided to run away.

On the road, she came across a remarkably handsome man.

He was at death's door, gravely injured. Even the blood and grime could not mar his cool, extraordinary face, while his hand, clasping hers, was feverishly hot, almost burning to the touch.

Chu Lingyue saved him and observed him for several days. She decided he came from a respectable family and had good character, not to mention that bewitchingly handsome face...

Chu Lingyue: I have a plan!

She tricked the amnesiac man into becoming her lover. Once they had consummated their relationship, surely the Chu family wouldn't dare send her to the Eastern Palace!

Xie Yu was seriously wounded and left stranded in the wilderness after being set up by villains.

At his lowest ebb, a silly-smiling woman rescued him. He pretended to have lost his memory and stayed with her while he recovered.

Until she claimed he was her lover.

A secret lover she had to keep hidden.

One who loved her so desperately he begged and wept for her to give him a title.

Xie Yu: ...

After a year of blissful life with her handsome sweetheart, Chu Lingyue finally remembered what she was supposed to be doing.

The Crown Prince was restored to his position, peace returned to the realm, and the Chu family gave up on her after deciding she was a hopeless case.

Then Chu Lingyue saw the imperial decree of marriage brought in person by the man, along with his faintly amused expression, and suddenly remembered just how many bad things she'd said about the Crown Prince to his face.

She's as good as dead!!

She packed her valuables that very night and fled.

"Running away?"

Her path was blocked without mercy.

A strong hand clamped around her slender waist. His voice was icy:

"Am I not your virtuous lover, the one you kept hidden away and supported even when you had to split every coin in two? Isn't it a little late to run now?"

[Not at all clever but absolutely convinced she's brilliant, adorable girl x a sweet, soft mochi prince with a hidden dark side]
