I Toyed With the Ascetic Prince, Was Found Out, and Faked My Death to Escape

[1v1 Sweet Romance] [Marriage Before Love] [Chasing His Wife After a Painful Breakup]

Jiang Tang is a timid, honest woman with no sense of her own strength. She transmigrates into a melodramatic household-intrigue novel about a true heiress and a fake heiress being married off in each other's place.

Jiang Tang: "I don't know how to fight for power at home, but I don't want to suffer either!"

To avoid being married off in someone else's place, Jiang Tang quickly picks out the perfect husband for herself.

In the original novel, the Prince of Zhenbei, Xie Chongling, is already unconscious and has less than a month to live.

To marry Xie Chongling and become a carefree young widow once he dies, Jiang Tang pulls out every trick she can.

To the Empress and the Emperor: "The prince and I pledged ourselves to each other back when we were on the frontier."

To everyone else: "We even have a child together. You have no idea how much the prince loves me!"

She gets her wish and marries him.

And then...

Xie Chongling wakes up.

Jiang Tang: The sky is falling!!!

If she behaves herself, surely he won't have her killed, right?

But...

In the icy sea wind, Jiang Tang is tied to a mast by bandits. Xie Chongling sneers, "She's just a liar. You can't possibly think I really love her, can you? She's only bait to help me wipe out the bandits."

Jiang Tang: You can't warm that dog's heart, no matter what you do!!!

After Jiang Tang falls into the sea and disappears, Xie Chongling turns the entire Great Xia Dynasty upside down searching for her. He searches for three whole years.

"Tangtang, I was wrong. Please come back, okay?"

"Tangtang, you love watching me dance. How about I dance for you?"

He loses his mind by day and goes mad by night.

Then one day, on a cobblestone street in Qingzhou, Xie Chongling sees a little boy who looks exactly like he did as a child.

The boy holds up a candied hawthorn skewer and calls to the woman beside him, "Mom! I wanna beat him to deat!"
