When she opened her eyes, she had become a fallen young lady abandoned in the countryside for years and forgotten by everyone. Just when she nearly lost her life again, the marquis's household took her back. She thought she could lie flat from then on, but as it turned out, they wanted her to marry in someone else's place!

It turned out that before the old marquis died, he had asked the emperor to grant a marriage decree. Now Prince Rui had returned to court and the wedding date was approaching, but his second wife's daughter only wanted to attach herself to the crown prince, so she intended to have Chen Sisi marry in her place! But Chen Sisi just wanted to make money, lie flat, eat and drink, and admire handsome men!

Unfortunately, her stepmother ran the household and her own father was a muddleheaded fool. With no one to rely on, Chen Sisi struggled to get by in the marquis's residence and had no right to refuse. But the royal family had strict rules, and Prince Rui was rumored to have a bizarre, bloodthirsty, and cruel nature. Chen Sisi didn't want to marry him! Not one bit!

She thought, If my father won't agree, I'll go straight to Prince Rui and call off the engagement myself! She never expected him to have her thrown straight into prison!

Swallowing her pride and lowering her voice, she urged him, "Your Highness, I have terrible luck. I'm an ill-omened jinx, and everyone around me comes to a bad end. If you marry me, you'll probably suffer terrible misfortune, too! Losing your power and status would be one thing, but wouldn't it be a pity if you lost your life?"

But he suddenly laughed. "How convenient. I'm so unlucky that I bring death to my wives. We're a perfect match! That way, neither of us has to go and bring misery to anyone else!"

Chen Sisi felt her blood rush to her head. She stepped back in disbelief. "Y-You're joking with me, aren't you?"

"Joking? I never joke! Just wait for me to come marry you in a grand bridal sedan!"

Chen Sisi nearly passed out from anger!

**

Before she could call off the engagement, she was inexplicably drawn into a royal power struggle and nearly lost her head! Chen Sisi thought, There's no way I can marry him!

She tried to break off the engagement again. The prince was furious, miserable, and in a terrible mood. "You... have you fallen for someone else?!"

"Of course not! I... I only want to conquer every handsome man under heaven. I would never hang myself from just one tree!"

As they say, alcohol makes people bold. Seven parts sober and three parts drunk, Chen Sisi had no idea how serious the consequences of her words would be!

"Conquer every handsome man under heaven, hmm?" Prince Rui laughed in anger. He wrapped an arm around her slender waist and leaned closer, pressing her. "Then tell me... would you say this prince counts as a handsome man?"

Chen Sisi jolted, and even the last traces of drunkenness vanished. She gave an awkward laugh. "Well... Your Highness is naturally the most handsome man in the world!"

He reached out and held her chin. "Then might this prince... be welcome in your bedchamber?"

Chen Sisi clicked her tongue. Stop! Stop!! Don't let a pretty face cloud your judgment! Don't let a pretty face cloud your judgment!!!
