After the Crown Prince Became a Prisoner

The heroine is not a virgin | Innocent farm wife vs. sinister crown prince

Ning Jiang was a farmer's daughter. Not long after she married, her husband suffered an injury to his vital parts and could no longer father children.

One day, her husband brought home a sickly man he had found in the mountains. He told Ning Jiang that farm families had to work the fields and hunt, and that they couldn't support the whole family without a man around.

Ning Jiang looked at the frail man before her and frowned in confusion. Could someone with a build like that really work the fields and hunt? Only later did she realize how naive she'd been. Her husband hadn't meant that at all.

He wanted her to have a son with the man, and had locked him in the sheep pen.

Watching the man, who had been drugged with an aphrodisiac yet still refused to give in, Ning Jiang comforted him. “Just give him a son, and he'll let you out.”

The man laughed at how stupid she was, but Ning Jiang didn't care. She kept feeding him. “You need a full stomach to get the job done.”

After all, food comes first. Nothing matters more than filling your belly.

Later, Ning Jiang's belly grew bigger by the day. Her husband doted on the baby, while the man in the sheep pen disappeared.

Until one day, soldiers surrounded their little courtyard. The man from all those years ago had returned. Ning Jiang was overjoyed that he was still alive, but the next moment, he cut off her husband's head and threw it at her feet.

Ning Jiang clutched the baby in her arms, too terrified to know what to do.

She had seen what her husband did back then, and the man had returned for revenge.

She said, “What my husband did was wrong, but the child has nothing to do with it... I'll atone for his crimes. Please spare the child... Besides, the child is yours.”

The man didn't even glance at the child. He only sneered. “If you die, the little wretch will go with you.”

Later, for the sake of her child, Ning Jiang went with the man to his home. And his home turned out to be the Eastern Palace.

Yan Zhao thought Ning Jiang was the most vulgar, low, and stupid woman he'd ever met.

But he still remembered how she always saved the food she liked best for him, and how she would say, even while sitting on his face, “Staying alive is what matters most.”

So he came back alive to find her, and saved the food he liked best for her, too.
