The Princess Cannot Escape: The Cunning Prince Is Not to Be Messed With

A shy flower

Chapter 1 turns out to be a good-for-nothing.

"Don't marry!"

In the spacious and bright main hall, a woman with delicate features but extremely thin stature stood in the center of the hall. Her bright black eyes, as clear as stars, looked directly at the middle-aged man with gray hair and beard sitting in the main seat in front of her without flinching, showing no fear whatsoever.

"You bastard!" The man slammed his hand on the rosewood table and roared, his gaze sharp and piercing, like two swords that could cut right through the woman.

"Master, please don't get angry. It's not worth ruining your health over a mistress like that..." A woman beside the man, her jingling jade pendants twitching, frowned. As she spoke, her slender, nail-painted fingers touched the middle-aged man's chest, pressing lightly and then firmly. Her long, beautiful eyes, however, remained fixed on the woman in the center of the hall, who stood ramrod straight, her gaze suddenly sharpening.

"I say, Ninth Miss, Master married you off to Prince Duan for your own good. A person can be stupid or clumsy, but they can't be without self-awareness. You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences." As she finished speaking, Aunt Liu's narrow eyes suddenly opened, her dark pupils glaring fiercely, her eyes filled with a fierce light that seemed to want to engulf Yin Quan.

"If you want to marry, you can marry yourselves! Anyway, I won't marry!" Without any politeness, Yin Quan threw back all the sinister looks that Aunt Liu had cast at her, turned around, and walked away gracefully.

Upon hearing the sound, Liu Ruyue's wrist paused, and her face stiffened. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man sitting in the hall, his eyes filled with anger, widened his tiger-like eyes. Both of them fell silent, staring at the now empty doorway, their hearts filled with shock and endless doubts.

She practically ran all the way back to her tiny, stale, and rotten woodshed. As she rummaged through the bricks to find the money she had painstakingly hidden away, Yin Quan muttered to herself as she looked at the empty room, "Hey, I've gotten revenge for you. Are you in a better mood now? You can ascend to heaven and become a Buddha, right? I know you were bullied terribly, but that's no excuse for you to haunt me like this. Fine, I'll just take the loss and spend a copper coin every year to burn incense for you."

As she was speaking, she suddenly stopped, glanced at the door, and then let out a soft sigh.

Damn it, even if she's not favored, she's still General Yin's child! How can anyone treat their own daughter like this?!

Thinking this, Yin Quan rolled her eyes, quickly packed her valuables, and sighed inwardly: Ninth Miss, you died unjustly. I promise to avenge you. Now you can peacefully become a Buddha...

The sorrowful and resentful voice in her mind vanished instantly. Yin Quan patted her chest, feeling a great sense of relief as the wronged spirit departed.

"Rest in peace..." Yin Quan slowly uttered three words, then leisurely raised his gaze to the guards gathered in a V-shape at the narrow entrance. He squinted as he scanned the blades that gleamed with a cold light, then suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Ah! UFO!"

The guards were startled by her sudden shout and looked up. In that split second, she turned around and jumped out of the window.

"Pfft..."

Hearing the splashing water around her, Yin Quan thought to herself: Damn it!

In her haste, she completely forgot that there was a river right next to the woodshed...

Who the hell builds a house along the river?!

After letting out a silent scream, a piece of vegetable leaf floated by on the current, making her eyes widen in shock. At the same time, she almost desperately realized a crucial truth: someone must have peed and pooped in this river!

Oh no! She actually jumped into a river full of excrement!

As she felt a tightness in her chest, shortness of breath, and her vision blurred, the commotion above her head gave her another feeling: a bolt from the blue.

They're throwing stones?!

Holy crap! Ninth Sister, you're definitely not their biological daughter!

Staring wide-eyed at the stones whizzing past, grazing his scalp, Yin Quan's anger grew even stronger. It felt as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping past, stirring up a sky full of raging flames.

Which of those female protagonists in time-travel novels isn't an overpowered queen with all her skills unlocked?! Why is it that she ends up with the unfortunate outcome of refusing to marry and being chased and beaten by her own father?

This is a time-travel novel, you son of a bitch!

If you haven't actually traveled through time, please don't write nonsense, okay? It's a bad influence on children, okay? It's destroying their values, okay?!

Despite his anger, Yin Quan, though sharing the same name as the body's former owner, was a completely different person.

At least, this woman, who is known as the top female lawyer in S City, will not easily drown in this icy river.

"Liu Ruyue!"

A clear shout rose from the river, like a burst of sparks exploding in the ears of the restless crowd, immediately silencing the general's servants huddled in the small window of the woodshed.

"Liu Ruyue! Listen to me! From this day forward, I am no longer the illegitimate daughter of a military family, and I have nothing to do with the Yin family anymore!"

The sudden shout startled the servants who were shoving and jostling each other inside the woodshed's back window. They all turned to look at Aunt Liu standing at the woodshed door, seemingly waiting for further instructions.

"What are you all looking at me for? Why aren't you jumping into the river to chase after him?!" Enraged by the questioning gazes of the servants, Liu Ruyue slammed her arm down, causing the jade pendants on her body to jingle loudly.

Hearing the continuous splashing sounds behind him, Yin Quan frowned, turned around, and a surge of anger reignited in her heart.

Damn it! He actually jumped into the river to chase after her!

These ancient people were so stubborn!

If someone tells you to jump into the river, you jump in; if they tell you to die, would you do it?!

Thinking this, Yin Quan quickened the pace of her hand and foot swinging. Unfortunately, it was late spring and early summer, and her weak body had long been frail and malnourished. It was already difficult for her to hold on until now, let alone get rid of those strong and healthy guards and servants!

Yin Quan felt her hands and feet growing heavier and heavier, and she was panting heavily. Even her vision was becoming blurry.

Damn it... when will we reach the shore?

She cursed under her breath.

The water is so cold...

Damn it, is she going to die right after transmigrating?

Where's the promised cheat code?

What happened to the promise of reclining on a handsome man's lap?

Damn, what a chest...

Yin Quan, who had been feeling sore and heavy in her hands and feet, now felt her head was also very heavy, so heavy that she could no longer move.

So what if I die? Who's afraid of who?! I've died once before! At worst, I'll just reincarnate! Eighteen years later, I'll be a hero again!

If someone drowns, their body will look awful... uh...

"I don't want to die such an ugly death!"

He roared and sat up abruptly, panting and covered in sweat.

You weren't beautiful to begin with.

"You're not beautiful! Your whole family isn't beautiful!" Almost reflexively, Yin Quan opened her mouth, her eyes wide open, staring at a figure in a snow-white robe not far away.

"Uh...you...?"

"Don't you recognize me..." A detached voice, as if talking to himself, rang in his ears. A white-robed man stood by the window with his hands behind his back. Moonlight poured down, enveloping his tall and upright figure, making him seem like a divine child descended to earth, untouched by any worldly troubles.

"I don't know him..." Yin Quan answered honestly, rubbing his forehead.

Whether it was because she had been soaking in the river for too long or for some other reason, her head was throbbing and aching.

Frowning, Yin Quan glanced at the figure and pouted.

Weird...

Who would ask the rescued person if they recognize them before saving them... However, this person has a really good figure... The material of that snow-white robe also seems to be quite valuable, trailing on the ground without getting dusty, and bending over without wrinkling.

Fabric? It doesn't look like it. The drape, the texture, the color, the sheen... Ah, I really want to touch it...

Who is this person?!

Swallowing hard, Yin Quan stared intently at the white-robed man's retreating figure.

Turn around! Turn around! Turn around!

She screamed and shouted in her heart a thousand times, but the man in white robes still didn't turn around. Finally, unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, "Hey, did you save me?"

"No, it is my horse."

"..." Yin Quan wanted to bang her head against a wall, but was rescued by a horse?! A horse?!

"who are you?"

"This king..." The white-robed man's indifferent voice paused, and his figure, shrouded in moonlight, began to shift slightly.

Upon seeing this, Yin Quan held her breath, widened her eyes, and stared intently at the person in front of her without blinking.

“I am your betrothed, Prince Duan, Xiahou Ying.”
