The Willowy Concubine Is a Master of Escape, and the Reserved Heir Is Busy Chasing His Wife

(Both chaste + equally strong leads + sweet romance + a touch of feel-good wish fulfillment, with a serious plot + running away while pregnant)

(A seemingly frail heroine who can’t look after herself but is actually cunning and clever VS a tsundere, reserved, action-oriented hero whose actions belie his words)

Yan Xiangze, heir to the title of heir apparent, commands great respect and is destined to become the future ruler of the Qian Kingdom.

Yet he is cold by nature and dislikes women coming near him. Now eighteen, and two years past his coming-of-age ceremony, he has never allowed a woman to attend to him in person.

Yan Xiangze dislikes nothing more than bewitching, alluring women of exquisite beauty. He should have met one with a cold face and a cold heart, but when that lovely woman knelt before him and looked up with eyes on the verge of tears, his heart gave an uncharacteristic shiver!

Who could have imagined that one moment of softness would let that woman slip into his heart, take root there, and become someone he could neither forget nor let go of for the rest of his life?

As the first and only woman in the heir apparent’s life in over a decade, Xu Wanning is undoubtedly cherished.

But she knows full well that she is merely different, having forced her way into his notice by sheer audacity. Any claim that she is truly important to him is a lie.

She is an orphan, a tool the prefect keeps by his side to curry favor with the powerful. Even though fortune has brought her to the heir apparent, she is still just a pet: when he likes her, he keeps her close and dotes on her a little; when he doesn’t, he can toss her into a corner and leave her to fend for herself.

A pet he can discard at any time!

So... she ran.

She ran without hesitation, with no intention of looking back!

She ran so fast that she never expected to find something growing inside her, something she couldn’t bear to abandon!

That little one would become the reason they stayed tangled up with each other. And yet... they were both more than happy to let it happen!
