Playboy, Smiling-Tiger Crown Prince x Scheming Little-Sunshine Prince from a Foreign Land, His Cousin x Cool, Mixed-Blood Beauty Caught Between Them
Yan Qian x Helian Zheng x Ling Yao
Yan Qian had always enjoyed teasing Ling Yao with lies.
On the first night she played the pipa for him, his words were laced with deliberate seduction. "Actually, I wouldn't mind buying your freedom."
Ling Yao fell silent for a moment, but still couldn't suppress the hope she shouldn't have felt. "Do you mean that, Young Master?"
Yan Qian smiled triumphantly. "I was lying. How are you so easy to fool?"
In the days that followed, Yan Qian continued his wicked ways. Even his solemn promise to buy her freedom in the end once again came to nothing.
On the very night she was finally freed, Yan Qian was preparing to marry a princess.
The one who bought her freedom was their mutual cousin, Helian Zheng.
"You still have a choice. Come with me. I don't have so many qualms."
Ling Yao looked down at Helian Zheng's open palm. She felt that he was getting in the way of her packing.
The young man refused to back down. He firmly lifted Ling Yao's wrist and drew her hand into his palm.
When he saw her letting him hold her hand, a relieved smile rose on his lips. "There. That means you're coming with me of your own free will."
Ling Yao: "..."
A peerless pipa, a face without a smile.
When Yan Qian saw with his own eyes that the two had fallen in love, he finally learned what it meant to regret something too late.
