After Being Jilted, I Married the Crown Prince

Mingyu had been promised in marriage since childhood, but the whole capital disapproved.

The Cui family she was to marry into was a wealthy and prestigious clan, so Mingyu was marrying above her station. What was more, the Cui family's young master had a girl he already liked.

The Cui family seemed ready to call off the engagement, and even Mingyu's maid was anxiously fretting on her behalf.

Mingyu, meanwhile, spent her days watching operas and listening to music, perfectly content.

Mingyu's thoughts were simple:

Break it off. Hurry up and do it.

The more powerful the family, the messier the household. She couldn't be bothered with family or palace intrigue.

Mingyu had no grand ambitions. She just wanted to marry a merchant. Merchants valued profit over parting, so she'd have money and free time.

On a trip south to Yangzhou, she met a handsome young nobleman with a face like an immortal, broad shoulders, and a slim waist. A merchant family would be easy to handle, too.

Mingyu was very pleased with him and immediately began pursuing him.

By the third month of her pursuit, her fiance couldn't take it anymore and demanded to know which pretty boy she had set her sights on.

Before Mingyu could answer, an uproar broke out outside the Cui residence, and a crowd knelt on the ground.

Her nominal fiance hurriedly knelt as well, then scolded Mingyu, who was still staring blankly. "Mingyu, this is His Highness the Crown Prince. You must show respect!"

Mingyu stared in shock at the familiar face in the crowd.

Th-this, isn't this the pretty boy I was flirting with just a few days ago?!

The Crown Prince lowered his eyes, cool and dignified. His dark eyes were calm, yet his intensely predatory gaze swept over Mingyu in the crowd.

Mingyu's vision went black.

She'd taken things way too far!!

[Your fiancee? Sorry, she'll be mine in a moment.]

[She runs, he pursues. She can't escape, even with wings.]
