Latest Prince Regalis Novel

Synopsis: The female lead fakes her death and runs away with a child. The male lead chases after her in a cremation ground scenario.

Yun Zhu was a princess from a foreign tribe. At the age of sixteen, due to her family's arranged marriage with the Central Plains, she was sent to become the Crown Princess of Prince Huan's heir.

During her years in Prince Huan's manor, she couldn't say she was unhappy. There were many fun and interesting things in the Central Plains, and the Crown Prince treated her with respect. However, she couldn't say she was happy either, because apart from the Crown Prince, almost no one in the manor was genuinely fond of her.

Because she was a woman from a foreign tribe, betrothed to the Crown Prince, it meant that the Emperor of the Central Plains did not intend to pass his throne to Prince Huan's lineage. After all, there had never been a precedent for a foreign woman to become a Crown Princess or Empress in the Central Plains.

Fortunately, Yun Zhu was always optimistic. If they didn't treat her well, at least her husband was decent; if no one in the manor wanted to be close to her, she could still make a few true friends outside the manor.

The turning point happened on her eighteenth birthday. That day, Yun Zhu had just tidied her clothes, intending to go out and meet her friends. Before leaving, she wanted to find her husband and ask if he would like to come with her.

She had made great progress in learning the Central Plains characters recently, knowing much more than before, and wanted to show off to him and her friends. But as soon as she reached the door of his study, she heard the voice of a strategist from inside.

He was advising him: "Only if the Crown Princess is gone and His Highness remarries, can Prince Huan's manor have a chance to contend for the throne! Otherwise, no one will easily support His Highness!" They... were considering killing her?

Yun Zhu stood outside the door, chills instantly pouring over her from head to toe. She awaited her husband's reply. She thought he would refuse, right? Though they weren't in love, their life together was truly good, they...

"Let me think about it again." But before she could finish her thoughts, she heard her husband's reply. This time, Yun Zhu finally had no more expectations or thoughts left. She didn't even remember how she walked back to her room that day.

Xiao Mingzhang, the Crown Prince of Huan, had been well-read and upright since childhood, destined to be the undisputed heir of Prince Huan's manor from birth. The only unexpected event in his life was having to marry a princess from a foreign tribe by imperial decree.

The Emperor was old and frail, and Prince Huan, as one of the five sons, initially intended to contend for the throne. Once the imperial decree of marriage was issued, Prince Huan's manor fell into a cold abyss. Strategists were lost, and supporters greatly diminished.

Two years into the marriage, more than once, someone suggested to Xiao Mingzhang that only if his Crown Princess died would Prince Huan's manor have a chance to gain more opportunities. Xiao Mingzhang initially dismissed it.

It was true he wanted to be the Crown Prince, but he wouldn't exchange the life of an innocent woman for the handle of power. What's more, his Crown Princess... was truly not unlikable.

Until that one time, when a great drought swept the land, leaving people starving and displaced, and the Emperor's chosen Crown Prince was not a benevolent person. His father earnestly told him: "Only by ascending to that supreme throne can we truly protect all those we wish to protect. The world is vast, and the nation depends on its people. To give up is to gain; there is no gain without giving up."

For the first time, Xiao Mingzhang hesitated in his conviction. Three years after leaving Prince Huan's manor, Yun Zhu met Xiao Mingzhang again in a small town on the desert border. She could now not only write many Central Plains characters but also worked as a female instructor, teaching archery and horse riding.

She met Xiao Mingzhang on horseback. Seeing him stand before her with red eyes, she asked him, "Are you about to become the Crown Prince now, Xiao Mingzhang?"

Xiao Mingzhang did not answer, only stubbornly reached out to her: "Yun Zhu, let's go home."
