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

A sweet, gentle healer + a cold, aloof prince + both are each other's first and only.

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

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

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

She thought their hardships were over, but Gu Qingyun had ingratiated himself with a commandery princess in the capital. He gave Shen Shinian two choices: serve as a slave in the Gu household, or become his mistress.

Gu Qingyun was sure Shen Shinian, a lone orphan with no family in the capital and not a penny to her name, would have no choice but to depend on the Gu family and spend the rest of her life as their servant.

What Gu Qingyun didn't know was that Shen Shinian could do more than gather herbs. She had inherited her grandfather's legacy as a peerless divine physician.

Shen Shinian left Gu Qingyun and became the physician of the Prince of War's household.

That very night, someone drugged the prince, and the cold-hearted man who despised women pinned Shen Shinian against the wall.

In public, Huo Yanzhi was elegant, noble, and untouchable.

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

Gu Qingyun married the Prince of War's adopted daughter, and the two paid their respects to their elders.

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