★ Angsty mistaken bride + uncle-nephew love triangle + a smooth talker with a filthy mouth (formerly titled The Bride Has an Old Grudge)
★ Theatrical bride who lives for the drama vs. elegant, vengeful predator prince vs. wronged nephew whose bride was stolen (1v1)
Long Shisan took the place of the prominent family's daughter, Xie Zhaorou, in the bridal sedan, silently praying, Please don't let me get caught.
She said to her new husband, Huo Chuan, "I'm new to the household and don't know the rules yet. Please be patient with me." Huo Chuan replied gently, "Of course."
She thought she could pull it off until, three days later, she went to pay her respects to her mother-in-law and unexpectedly ran into a man. He stood at the corner of the corridor and slowly smiled at her. She couldn't remember where she'd seen him, but his smile sent a chill down her spine.
Only later did she learn he was Huo Chuan's maternal uncle, Prince Rong, Zhou Yan.
What she didn't know was that three months earlier in Yuntai Town, she'd barged into a room, stepped onto the bed of the man inside, and chuckled, "So he's impotent."
Humiliated, Zhou Yan had spent over three months hunting down this "thief." He never expected that when he saw her again, she'd be his nephew's new bride.
He watched her act sweet and obedient in front of others, pretending not to know him. He sighed over his poor nephew, who had no idea his bride had been switched, while thinking with a bitter smile: Once I peel off this little fox's disguise, let's see how you beg for mercy.
At last, on the day of the palace banquet, he cornered her in the corridor.
He advanced step by step, elegant and dangerous. She backed away, trembling. "Your Highness, please behave. You and I... barely know each other."
He chuckled. "We barely know each other, indeed."
She tried to placate him. "Then... there must be some misunderstanding?"
He smiled again, but there was no warmth in his eyes. "It's a pretty big misunderstanding."
A few steps later, her back hit the cold wall. There was nowhere left to retreat, and she could only plead in a dry voice, "...If I've offended you, please let me explain."
"An explanation won't be enough." Zhou Yan leaned in, his dangerous presence enveloping her completely. "Three months ago in Yuntai Town, you said something. Should we make sure it was true before you say it again?" She finally remembered who he was, and broke into a cold sweat.
Later, at a night banquet in the prince's residence, Zhou Yan pulled her into his arms in front of everyone. Watching Huo Chuan, he smiled and fed her a grape. The entire hall erupted in shock, and Huo Chuan smashed his wine cup.
