My Top Scholar Ex-Husband Forces Me to Be His Mistress, but the God of War Begs Me to Be His Princess

Sweet, gentle healer + aloof prince + both leads are each other's first and only.

Before Shen Shinian's grandfather died, he arranged for the scholar Gu Qingyun to marry into her family.

During their three years of marriage, Shen Shinian brought Gu Qingyun's parents into her home and cared for them. She supported his family by gathering medicinal herbs in the mountains, even draining her savings to pay for his studies.

At last, Gu Qingyun passed the highest imperial examination and became its top scholar.

She thought their hardships were finally over, but Gu Qingyun had gained the favor of a commandery princess in the capital and gave Shen Shinian two choices: become a servant in the Gu household, or be his mistress.

Gu Qingyun was sure that Shen Shinian, a penniless orphan with no family or friends in the capital, would have to depend on the Gu family and spend the rest of her life serving them.

What Gu Qingyun didn't know was that Shen Shinian could do more than gather herbs: she had also inherited her grandfather's peerless medical skills.

Shen Shinian left Gu Qingyun and took a position as the physician of the Prince of War's household.

That very night, someone drugged the prince, and Shen Shinian found herself pinned against the wall by the cold, women-hating prince.

In public, Huo Yanzhi was a man of elegant grace, lofty and untouchable.

In private, he gripped Shen Shinian by the throat. "You're carrying my child. You should call me your husband."

Gu Qingyun married the Prince of War's adopted daughter, and the two went through the formal wedding ceremony.

Seated in the place of honor in the prince's residence, Huo Yanzhi clasped Shen Shinian's hand. "You should call her Mother."
