I Flirted With a Cool, Handsome Scholar to Pass the Time. You're Saying He's the Crown Prince?

[Clear-Headed Career-Focused Heroine] [Male Lead Competes for Her] [Second Male Lead Chases His Wife to the Crematorium]

After her fiancé left for war, Xie Lingshu flirted with a poor scholar.

The scholar was poor, but he was truly handsome.

Unfortunately, her fiancé came back.

"Shen Chenghe, let's end this."

As a proper noblewoman, Xie Lingshu knew that love was no match for money.

She never expected her fiancé to ignore the marriage alliance between their families and brazenly return with the woman he loved.

He even declared that he would marry no one but her, and that if Xie Lingshu insisted on marrying him, she would never have her husband's love.

What a joke. How many coppers was a man's love worth?

All she wanted was the position of Madam Gu and the Gu family's immense fortune!

Unexpectedly, the poor scholar she had not seen for days turned up again at a palace banquet.

And he was seated right below the emperor!

The poor scholar she had cast aside had transformed into His Highness the Crown Prince?

The Crown Prince dropped his disguise and cornered her against a wall.

The Crown Prince asked, "Is money and power all you care about?"

Xie Lingshu replied, "...I love money and power, and you have both. Doesn't that mean I love you?"
