The County Princess is Too Spendthrift, She Only Wants to Break off the Engagement

Gu Jingning's background is truly noble. She is the legitimate daughter of the State Defender Duke's Mansion, a family that has produced three generations of Empresses, and her maternal grandfather is the Marquis of Wu'an.

Upon her birth, she was granted a name by the Emperor and given the title of County Princess. At fifteen, she was betrothed to Prince Jin, Xiao Hengan. She was truly the darling of the heavens, even outshining the princesses.

She was willful and extravagant, a famous little tyrant in the capital.

Unwilling to be a pawn in the power struggles, she trespassed into the palace three times to break off the engagement.

She was clever and playful, doing the opposite of what was expected. She approached her fiancé, enticing him with her beauty, trying to coax him into breaking the engagement.

Who knew that beneath her spendthrift exterior lay a passionate and heroic heart?

She earned her living through risky ventures, righting wrongs, breaking into prisons, and stealing from corrupt officials, becoming the government's number one enemy.

She exhausted herself trying to escape the aristocracy, yet she fell deeper into it step by step, becoming a chess piece in the fight for power among various factions.

Seeing through the imperial power, she decided to join forces with Prince Jin to break the shackles and carve out a world of her own.

Just as agreed, allies do not discuss feelings, so why did Xiao Hengan's gaze toward her become increasingly unexplainable, and why did he get angry for no reason? It was so strange.

Until one day, consumed by jealousy, Xiao Hengan pinned her against the tree they had planted together.

"As agreed, I am the lonely cold moon in the sky, and you are the free-spirited clouds beside the moon, always surrounding and protecting me. How can you break your promise?"

He softly called out their childhood names, confessing his deep affection.

"Xianning belongs to Wangshu, and Gu Jingning can only belong to Xiao Hengan."
