Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Outside the entrance of the Jun Residence, a line of carriages stretched out, each carriage carrying numerous betrothal gifts, extending beyond sight.

The nearby commoners were stunned by this display, gathering to watch. Even pedestrians passing by joined in, standing outside the Jun Residence’s gates, chatting excitedly.

A man wearing a purple-gold beaded crown, his long robe embellished with green patterns and shades of purple, a jade belt cinched around his waist, stood proudly at the entrance. His handsome face exuded a sense of confidence and arrogance.

This man was none other than the Fifth Prince of the Chengyuan Kingdom, Qitian Yu!

“Didn’t the Gu family’s young lady give birth to a son before marriage? Why would the Fifth Prince be interested in her?”

“Don’t you know? The Fifth Prince and Miss Gu were childhood friends and had a pre-existing engagement. However, due to a scandal involving the Gu family, they expelled Miss Gu to avoid trouble, and the engagement was canceled. Yet, the Fifth Prince never forgot about her. Now that Miss Gu has returned, he’s here to propose!”

“Wow! I didn’t expect the Fifth Prince to be so devoted. Miss Gu is really lucky. If I could meet a man like the Fifth Prince, I’d have no regrets in life.”

“You can only dream! Look at yourself—your status and appearance. Do you think someone like the Fifth Prince would be interested in you?”

“Get lost! Can’t I fantasize a little?”

Having rebuked the individual, they couldn’t resist letting out a sigh. “Miss Gu had a tarnished reputation before, and now she’s a mother. Nevertheless, the Fifth Prince harbors no resentment, presenting numerous gifts for the proposal himself. Her fortune is truly remarkable!”

“That’s true. The Fifth Prince is of noble status, handsome in appearance, and extraordinarily talented. He even won the selection competition recently, becoming a student of the Qiankun Academy. His future is limitless. Miss Gu must have done countless good deeds in her previous life to have such fortune!”

“Miss Gu is exceptional too. It’s said that the head of the Gu family is a Saint, but even he can’t surpass Miss Gu. It’s clear that she’s also a Saint. Such a young Saint—have you ever heard of such a thing? Moreover, her son, at such a young age, has already demonstrated remarkable strength, ranking in the top three of the competition. I believe his future achievements will surpass even the Fifth Prince.”

However, someone quickly refuted what this person said.

“So what? A woman will eventually get married. Despite Miss Gu’s strength and youth, isn’t it better for her to marry a good man than to live alone?”

The person praising Gu Qingluan felt that there was a problem with this statement but didn’t know how to counter it at the moment.

Just then, someone shouted, “Miss Gu is coming out!”

The Fifth Prince, standing at the entrance, eyes brightened. “Qingluan, you’re here.”

His gaze was affectionate, and his voice gentle.

The surrounding crowd of onlookers secretly marveled.

Indeed, the Fifth Prince held deep feelings for Miss Gu.

Gu Qingluan wore a long skirt made of moon-white silk, adorned with golden thread embroidery. The hem of the skirt fluttered as she elegantly approached.

A delicate silver hairpin adorned her asymmetrical cloud bun, swaying gracefully with her every step.

At first sight, she appeared like a celestial being gracing the mortal realm, emanating an ethereal and refined charm that left onlookers entranced and speechless.

Miss Gu’s beauty had already become widely known since the selection competition.

Seeing her now, they couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment: Miss Gu was truly captivating and alluring!

No wonder the Fifth Prince was interested in her, to the extent that he was willing to overlook the scandal of her lost virtue and propose marriage.

Upon seeing Gu Qingluan’s attire, Qitian Yu was also amazed.

She seemed even more beautiful than the last time he saw her at the martial arts arena.

Gu Qingluan cast a glance at the endless row of betrothal gifts and the countless people outside the gate. Her beautiful eyes then returned to Qitian Yu, who was approaching. “Stop right there!”

Qitian Yu’s steps halted, and a self-assured smile appeared on his handsome face. “Qingluan, marry this prince! I’ve already informed my father; I want to marry you as the main consort..”
