I Never Meant to Marry You

A black-sesame tangyuan-like prince gong × the original host of a body taken over by someone who transmigrated into a book, shou

Chu Zhixi was a poor soul whose body had been taken over by someone who transmigrated into a book. At long last, he outlasted the transmigrator and regained control of his body, only to discover that he was in the middle of... a wedding?!

And his spouse was the young prince of the dynasty!

Chu Zhixi wished he could pass out again.

The young prince stared at him every day and asked him strange questions.

Young prince: Do you know what I'm thinking right now?

Chu Zhixi: How would I know?

Young prince: Don't you have mind-reading powers?

Chu Zhixi: ...

I've got heart-digging powers too. Want to test me?

He barely knew the young prince and had no idea why they were getting married.

"You personally begged Father to arrange this marriage, and even put the entire Chu family on the line. Now you're pretending you don't know?"

Chu Zhixi: ??? Well, yes, but that wasn't me!

I never wanted to marry you!

Shang Muqi thought his spouse seemed to have lost his memory. Before the wedding, he'd suddenly asked Father for an imperial decree arranging their marriage. Now that they were married, he was pretending to be clueless.

So this was the two-faced scoundrel people gossiped about, different before and after marriage!

Shang Muqi decided to assert his authority. He couldn't let Chu Zhixi think he cared about him.

When Chu Zhixi chatted and drank with the son of an Assistant Minister named Zhao, Shang Muqi sneered to himself: The Chu family does have to rely on the Zhao family for now.

When Chu Zhixi accepted a handkerchief from the little princess, Shang Muqi curled his lip: Chu Zhixi only accepted it because he didn't want to reject a young lady.

When Chu Zhixi agreed to go to a male brothel with his rowdy friends, Shang Muqi shot to his feet.

A man like Chu Zhixi should be tied up and locked inside, where he could see only Shang Muqi and ask only him for everything!

Chu Zhixi had no idea what he'd done to anger this formidable man this time, and hurried to soothe him. "Don't be mad. Believe me, I really never wanted to marry you..."

Shang Muqi: "Tired of living?"

He curled his lips and wound the silk ribbon in his hand around Chu Zhixi's wrist. "Would you like to start with [beep], or [beep beep], or go straight to [beep beep beep]?"
