Chapter 1

My notorious reputation had spread throughout the capital, and the noble sons and gentlemen avoided me.

My father feared that the entire Powell family would be ruined if I continued like this.

After discussing with the emperor, I was betrothed to the prince, Laurant Grant, also known for his debauchery.

On the first day of our marriage, we unexpectedly ran into each other in a bookstore and stared at each other.

The books in our hands fell to the ground at the same time.

It was a book of paintings.

——

Recently, a handsome young man from the southern border had arrived in the capital. With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and eight-pack abs, coupled with unique skills, he had attracted a constant stream of noble ladies to the Light Pavilion.

I couldn't resist and secretly went to join in the fun, despite my father's ban.

That scene... truly did not disappoint me.

I drool with desire, and my legs tremble when I step out of the Light Pavilion.

I looked up and bumped into Laurant, who came out from the opposite side of the Moon Pavilion.

There was a new dancer in the Moon Pavilion recently, with a graceful figure and seductive eyes, like a fairy descending to earth.

This guy must be here to admire the beauty.

I accidentally made eye contact with Laurant and quickly looked away with disgust.

I shouted, "The Prince is here at the Moon Pavilion, don't miss it."

In an instant, Laurant was blocked at the entrance by people who came to watch the excitement, like a monkey being watched.

I thought I would have died countless times.

But it was not my fault. Every time I come out to 'see the world', I always run into Laurant. He was very cunning and always caused a big commotion.

As a result, I always get beaten up by my father.

I went out to play and not only had to guard against my father but also be on guard against him.

It was just too tiring.

I retaliated against him a little bit and I was extremely happy.

After returning home, my father stared at me, holding a cane and about to hit me.

"With your attitude, no decent family will want you in the future."

I smiled and approached my father, holding his arm, "I won't get married, I will accompany Daddy for a lifetime."

But my father said he couldn't let me continue to mess around and wanted to marry me off as soon as possible.

He didn't come home for seven consecutive days.

I had long been used to it.

After all, under my deliberate exaggeration, no man in the capital regarded me as a ferocious beast.

No one wanted to marry a woman who was not content at home and could potentially cheat on her husband.

On the eighth day, my father came home happily and said that he had arranged a great marriage for me.

I lazily asked my father who it was.

I need to know who the person was so that I can warn him to stay away from me.

"It's the Prince."

"My sweetie, you are going to be the princess, are you happy?"

I felt dizzy. Just as I stepped out of the door, I bumped into the eunuch who came to announce the decree.

The old eunuch handed me the imperial decree and smiled as he said a bunch of auspicious words.

My father was also very happy and rewarded everyone in the mansion.

I was the only one who was unhappy. I angrily slammed the table, causing the teacups to rattle.

No, I wanted to cancel the marriage!
