Cast Aside, I Marry Up to the Crown Prince, and My Scumbag Childhood Sweetheart Regrets It Like Crazy

In her previous life, Song Qingci loved Meng Qinian deeply and gave him her family's fortune. But when trouble struck, he forced her to become his concubine so he could marry her cousin instead. She refused, but it was no use. She was forced to enter his household as a concubine with twice the usual dowry, where she endured endless abuse before dying miserably in the back courtyard. After spending years as a ghost and watching them all die, she was reborn. This time, she spoke first. “Qingci volunteers to enter your household as a concubine with twice the usual dowry. I beg you, Lord Meng, to marry my cousin instead.” Both families were overjoyed. But on the wedding night, they discovered that the sedan chair for the concubine carried a prostitute, and the dowry chests were filled with dirt. Faced with their accusations, Song Qingci smiled. Who would spend money to become a concubine? She would use her vast fortune to help the crown prince ascend the throne. - To take revenge, Song Qingci saves a man. “I want you to pretend to be my younger brother and help me reclaim my family estate. You must never covet the Song family's wealth.” He readily agrees. Later, he slaughters everyone who stands in their way, then kisses her in front of tens of thousands of subjects. “I never coveted the Song family's wealth. I only ever coveted you, Sister!” It turns out her pretend younger brother is none other than the crown prince himself. - Later, she becomes the beloved of the crown prince, now the man in power. Meng Qinian becomes one of the princess's male favorites. In a lavish palace hall, he kneels at her feet with red-rimmed eyes and respectfully calls her “Crown Princess.”
