The Prodigious Prince

Transmigrated into the body of the ninth prince of the Zhenguo Empire, Xiao Xingyue believes he has struck gold when he is wed to the peerless beauty of Great Xia. But on their wedding night, Princess Li Wangshu kicks him out of the bridal bed and scoffs, “Touch me? Dream on! I’ll annul this marriage tomorrow. My father only agreed to this engagement because he used your father to secure the throne—do you really think you deserve me? If I marry anyone, it will be my poetry-immortal brother.” Only then does Xiao Xingyue realize that with his father and brothers fallen in battle, the Xiao family has been cast aside by the imperial house; the marriage is nothing but a face-saving formality for the royal family. Without hesitation, he writes a letter of divorce on the spot. “If anyone is walking out, it’s me throwing you out! Steward, summon twenty courtesans immediately—this prince has no use for a princess!” Flustered, Li Wangshu cries, “If you do that, how can I ever hold my head up? Everyone will say I’m less desirable than a brothel girl! You won’t get away with it—if anyone is sharing your bed tonight, it will be me!”
