Shattered Spring: The Runaway Concubine Is Carrying the Dragon’s Heir

After a misunderstanding, Song Wenxi was sent to Yan Wangchen’s bed. Only after their passionate night did she discover that he had mistaken her for someone else. Later, she learned that Yan Wangchen had been so ardent that night because someone had poisoned him. The poison flared up on the fifth day of every month, and unless he slept with someone, he would die. Since he had once helped her, she could only save him with her own body. But Yan Wangchen came on the fifth, then the fifteenth, and then the twenty-fifth. When she asked why, he said, “The poison’s acting up more and more often.” She didn’t believe a word of it. His eyes were clear, and he didn’t look poisoned at all. The truth was, she had admired him for a long time, but she didn’t dare say so. He was the honorable Third Prince, destined to marry a woman of noble birth, while she was merely a concubine-born daughter sent to a farm to struggle for survival, barely able to take care of herself. She knew it, and so did he. One day, Yan Wangchen finally said, “My poison is cured. I’m going to get married.” Song Wenxi nodded. “All right. Then don’t come back, Your Highness.” Later, he became emperor, free to marry whomever he wished. But by then, she no longer wanted to marry him.
