The Tyrannical Crown Prince Is Always Playing the Pitiful One

After Chu Chengze was named crown prince, everyone knew him as a brutal, bloodthirsty man. Then he met Mu Xin, and his whole demeanor changed. He started acting pitiful every day. “I feel awful, but I won’t say why.” “Waaah, I just want my wife to kiss me!” “You saved my life, my lady. I can only repay you by giving myself to you!” Mu Xin planted a palm on his forehead. “Your Highness, you’re hurting my eyes.” Reborn from a powerful wood mage into a woman cursed to bring misfortune, she saves people, takes down villains, and stands up for what is right, earning everyone’s love through her own strength. But after one moment of weakness, Mu Xin lost her laid-back secret identity and was forced aboard the crown prince’s sinking ship. They agreed to be nothing more than partners, so why is he already showing up with betrothal gifts?
