Summary
After transmigrating, I picked up a man by the river.
To pay for his medical treatment, I went up the mountain every day to chop wood until my palms were covered in bloody blisters.
He stared at my hands with guilt and said, “I will never fail you.”
Later, he returned to the Imperial Capital to resume his role as the Crown Prince. He kept his word and brought me there, naming me his Side Consort and showering me with affection.
Everyone said that a farm girl like me was crude and unbearable. Their words were harsh, and my maids urged me to tell the Crown Prince so he could punish them, but I only responded with a silent smile.
Until one day, the Crown Prince stroked my face, his voice low and heavy.
He said, “Susu, I can’t help but feel that you didn’t come to the Imperial Capital for me.”
The smile on my face froze.
Damn it.
I’ve been found out.
