The Princess Is to Remarry

Chapter 7: I’m Getting Remarried

Behind the green bamboo, the beautiful young man in snow-white robes watched silently as the petite figure, consumed by rage, violently hurled bowls, chopsticks, and food boxes about. His expression had shifted from earlier shock and bewilderment to a smirk.

If this really was the same person, the transformation was simply too drastic. Very well—someone actually dared to pull a switch right under his nose. Their skill was truly remarkable.

The first thought that sprang to his mind was that Gu Zhaoran had been secretly swapped out without his knowledge—though, of course, he would never know that what had been swapped was merely a soul…

This vibrant young woman before him seemed far more interesting than the previous Gu Zhaoran, who had been as stiff and lifeless as a fine sculpture!

Zuo Xiaoqian had no idea that her frenzied outburst had been thoroughly observed by another person in the small courtyard. Only after she had nearly destroyed the place did she straighten up and wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Xiao Lian hid in a corner, staring in horror at the scene of utter chaos, too afraid to approach. Clearly, she was also deeply puzzled as to why the princess had become so violent after falling into the water.

“Xiao Lian, come here!” Zuo Xiaoqian leaned against the doorframe, panting heavily, and beckoned to Xiao Lian. This body was utterly useless. After just a little exertion, exhaustion coiled around her like a snake. Zuo Xiaoqian curled her lip in disgust. It was nothing but a pretty vase—all show and no substance.

“Your Highness…” Xiao Lian stood to the side, staring at her timidly, still too afraid to approach.

“Stop calling me that damn ‘Your Highness’!” Zuo Xiaoqian roared in a fit of rage. “Damn it, have you ever seen a ‘Your Highness’ as miserable as me? Living in this dilapidated courtyard, eating that disgusting swill, and having servants come here all high and mighty just to pick a fight…”

She’d made up her mind: she wasn’t going to put up with this godforsaken “Your Highness” title that brought her absolutely nothing but trouble!

“But… you are Your Highness…” Xiao Lian’s wide eyes brimmed with two glistening tears. Blinking innocently like a puppy, she bit her lower lip and looked up at Zuo Xiaoqian. “If I don’t call you ‘Your Highness,’ what else am I supposed to call you?”

“Empress my ass!” Zuo Xiaoqian’s eyes blazed with fury. “I’ve decided to divorce that worthless prince… I’m going to remarry!”

“Your Highness—” Xiao Lian immediately looked around in panic, rushed forward to cover Zuo Xiaoqian’s mouth, and said urgently, “ “Your Highness, you must never utter such treasonous words again. If someone with ill intent were to hear them, I fear your situation would become even more dire than it is now!”

“Mmmph…” Zuo Xiaoqian looked helplessly at the maid, who was several times her strength. Wasn’t she supposed to be afraid of her? How dare she, of all times, commit such an act of insubordination by rushing over to cover her mouth? Did she not even have the right to vent her frustration?

Was it treasonous to say she wanted to divorce that worthless prince and remarry? Pfft! she thought bitterly. Rather than endure this treatment every day, she, Zuo Xiaoqian, would fight to the bitter end to see her remarriage through. She refused to believe that, with a face as beautiful as hers, she wouldn’t be able to find a long-term sugar daddy…

“Divorce me? Remarry?” A jade-like, mesmerizing warmth flickered in the calm, dark eyes of the white-clad youth, yet they grew even more unfathomable. “Gu Zhaoran, I’ve taken note of that—”
