She Speaks Beast Tongues and Wins the Emperor's Heart: The Beloved Commandery Princess Rules the World

Devoted, lovesick God of War Prince [Expression] Black-bellied, Sweet, and Stunning Commandery Princess

(Mutual Healing + Guiding Lovers + Winning Himself Over + Green Tea Man of Virtue)

Shen Qingyan is the true daughter of the Minister of Revenue's household, lost as a child and notorious in the capital for being crude and plain.

But no one knows she's been flirting with Mu Chengce, the God of War Prince.

At first, Shen Qingyan wants to marry him so the scumbag Second Prince will have to kneel and call her Aunt. Then she waits for him to become a monk before seeking his protection. With every step, she backs away.

The prince grits his teeth and pins her to the bed. "Nongnong, you haven't had your fill of playing, and now you want to run?"

At the Longevity Banquet, she breaks off an engagement, drawing marriage proposals from royal houses across the nations and putting Shen Qingyan at the center of a storm.

The noblewomen of the great clans all wait to see her make a fool of herself. They're certain the Emperor will either marry her off to the northern deserts, where she'll drink the wind and eat sand, or send her to Western Qiang to graze on grass and dig wells.

But instead, Prince Cheng'an arrives with a grand proposal, offering her the position of principal wife. "I am willing to take Commandery Princess Zhaohua as my wife, for all my life, and never let her down. If I break this vow, I will pay with my life!"

By day, he is the new Emperor, who dotes on his wife without restraint. But in his dreams, he is an executioner who ruthlessly slaughters entire clans.

When the truth finally comes to light, Mu Chengce kneels by the bed, eyes red, and begs humbly: "I once saw you pregnant. You were just as frail then, too. Nongnong, I was wrong. Please love me one more time!"

Love at first sight is rarely what it seems. More often, it's a ruthless ex-husband, reborn and wrapped in sheep's clothing, acting all sweet and flirtatious!
