I Can't Live Without the Crown Prince

[Bright, confident, and straightforward heroine × serious, insecure, clingy hero]

Mo Xingshuang was born into a noble family and had always had everything go her way. But lately, something strange had happened. Her once-vigorous body had grown frail and sickly, and no amount of rest helped, until one day at a banquet.

Mo Xingshuang fainted from the pain, and the Crown Prince reached out to steady her. The instant he touched her, all the pain in her body disappeared.

Overjoyed, Mo Xingshuang pretended to faint in his arms until her maid came to help her.

Mo Xingshuang started running into the Crown Prince again and again.

The Crown Prince took a step back, his voice icy. "I have a bad temper. If you keep pestering me, Miss Mo, I'll have to tell your father." Mo Xingshuang looked utterly sincere. "I'm not pestering you. I can't even stay alive without Your Highness the Crown Prince!" So what if he had a bad temper? You still had to drink medicine even if it tasted awful.

While watching a play, Mo Xingshuang showered the actor with gold. She was seen coming and going with a newly appointed scholar, and even had an annoying cousin constantly hovering around her! The Crown Prince seethed with jealousy. "Didn't you say you couldn't live without me? Why are you getting so close to other men?" He took Mo Xingshuang's hand. She looked confused. "Your Highness, is something the matter?"

The Crown Prince's voice dripped with jealousy. "Miss Mo, are you throwing me over now that you've had your fun?"

Mo Xingshuang: "..."

Later, Mo Xingshuang's pain stopped flaring up all the time, and she began roaming all over the capital. One night, when she returned home late, she found the Crown Prince looking like a bitter wife waiting for her husband. He sighed. "All you hear is the new girl's laughter, never the old one's tears." On the bed, Mo Xingshuang's eyes were red, tears glistening as she held the Crown Prince's hand in hers. Her voice came in broken phrases...

Before the Crown Prince's wedding, everyone in the capital knew how hard Miss Mo had pursued him. She'd thrown herself into his arms, among other things. (Mo Xingshuang: Let's be clear about what throwing myself into his arms means. I was grabbing hold of the lifeline that saved me!) But after they married, everything changed. The Crown Prince clung to the Crown Princess constantly, unable to bear being apart from her for even a moment.

Mo Xingshuang: They don't know that I really can't live without the Crown Prince. (Literally. Don't read too much into it.)

The Crown Prince: Shuang'er really does love me!
