The Cold Prince's Love for His Ugly-Faced Doctor Consort

To repay the Empress Dowager for saving her mother's life, she left the valley one day and entered the palace to practice medicine, hiding her beauty behind an ugly face. If anyone insulted or bullied her, she would pay them back twice over. She met every challenge with ease. Who could have known that she would reunite with someone from her past and grow ever closer to him? From then on, she could never return to her secluded life, because he said, “From now on, I'll protect you.”

Mo Qingran, originally named Lin Qingran, was breathtakingly beautiful, clever, and talented. Her name had been famous in the capital since childhood. Her blood could cure every disease and neutralize every poison, so people from every side coveted it. Even her father was among them. Her mother had no choice but to flee with her and settle in a remote mountain valley, where they lived in seclusion.

Ling Chenxuan was the coldest, most aloof prince of the Tianchen Kingdom. His handsome face inspired awe even when he was calm. Few knew that he had once smiled warmly. But after that girl went missing, he never smiled again. Everyone said she was dead, but he refused to believe it. He had to grow stronger so he could find her and protect her.

When they reunited in the palace, she thought she had hidden herself well, but he had already seen through her disguise and secretly protected her. He laid out a net and waited for her to fall into it, so she would never escape. He, too, was willing to be caught in it.

Excerpt: “I wasn't the one who revealed your secret back then.” Ling Chenxuan gazed directly at the woman before him.

Mo Qingran paused. “What do you mean, Prince Chen? I don't understand at all.”

“I know you're Lin Qingran. You understand what I mean.” He didn't want her to misunderstand him, but he couldn't deny that she had been hunted later because she used her blood to save him.

The woman laughed softly, looking perfectly composed. “I don't know what Prince Chen is talking about. I don't know anyone named Lin Qingran. I'm Ruan Zhihe.” She knew he hadn't been the one to reveal her secret.

Seeing her deny it, Ling Chenxuan smiled faintly. Then he suddenly asked something that seemed completely unrelated. “Do you know why every prince has a jade qilin pendant?”

Mo Qingran lowered her eyes slightly, hiding her emotions. She knew. She had found out by chance not long ago.

“The jade qilin pendant is a token for the woman who will become our wife.” His own jade qilin pendant had been in her hands for a long time, and she had even asked for it herself. Since she had taken it, there was no way she could return it. In this life, you must be my wife.
