Lin Jingxuan almost lost his life on the way to the hospital. Despite being resuscitated, it would be up to his fate whether or not he would be able to regain consciousness. After all, his heart had been severely damaged.

Gu Feirou, on the other hand, had broken a rib after receiving Mo Jiangye’s kick. The seriousness of her injury had her confined in bed as well.

When she woke up, she found Jing Xinze standing guard by her side along with an unfamiliar man.

The stranger’s appearance gave off the vibe that he was a mild, gentle person, and he had much more poise than Lin Jingxuan.

“Are you awake?”

The woman’s head was pounding in pain. “Who are you?”

“Princess, this is your fiancé, Bo Jinyan.” Her guard introduced the man to her.

“Fiancé?”

“Yes. Young Master Bo found you as soon as he arrived in Country L with your brother, Young Master Yu. He’s currently busy with some urgent matters, so he’s unable to meet you right away. Once he’s settled his affairs, he’ll take you back to the Blue Tower.”

Her face was ashen. “Brother Jingxuan is my fiancé!”

Bo Jinyan curled his lips slightly. “You must be joking, Princess. I’m the one who is your fiancé and future lawful husband. Don’t you worry, though. I won’t mind the number of men you keep in your male harem in Country L.”

“Where’s Brother Jingxuan?” Gu Feirou anxiously asked.

“Due to serious injuries, he has been placed in the intensive care unit. He won’t wake up anytime soon.”

“WHAT? Ssskkk...” A hiss of pain escaped her the moment she tried to move.

“Princess, no matter how much you fool around, it doesn’t change the fact that Young Master Bo is your future husband. You’ll be marrying Young Master Bo once you return to the Blue Tower.” Jing Xinze lowered his voice as he reminded her of this.

“P-Pardon?” The only man I’ll be marrying in this life is Brother Jingxuan.

“Apart from the King and Queen, the Elder holds the most authority in the Blue Tower. Young Master Bo, who is a fine gentleman with outstanding qualities and the son of the Elder, has been selected to be your future husband by Her Majesty. It doesn’t matter that you’re already engaged to Lin Jingxuan in Country L. Once you return to the Blue Tower—”

“SHUT UP!” She interrupted him before he could finish his words.

“Please don’t take this to heart, Young Master Bo. The Princess wasn’t raised by the Queen’s side, so there are certain things that she doesn’t quite understand yet.”

Bo Jinyan smiled in understanding. “That’s fine.”

Arf, arf, arf...

Suddenly, a red, fluffy creature came strutting into the ward as it shrugged its ears.

“Is that the auspicious beast?” Jing Xinze’s eyes bulged wide in disbelief.

In came Red Bean, walking lazily toward him before it jumped straight for the bed.

The woman’s face darkened completely in a second. “What is this thing? Get it off the bed!”

“Princess, this is the Blue Tower’s auspicious beast. It’s rumored to be able to bring good luck.”

A sneer crossed her face at once. Bring good luck? Nonsense! Beast? It’s clearly nothing but a mutt.

Bo Jinyan reached out and stroked Red Bean’s head.

Arf... It turned its head aside in disdain, refusing the man’s touch.

“I’ll be right back. I’m heading outside for a bit,” he said with a smile.

“As you wish, Young Master Bo.”

As soon as the young man left the ward, Gu Feirou lifted a leg to kick the canine off the bed.

It shocked her guard so much that he hastily stopped her at once. “Princess, don’t move about when you’re hurt.”

“Get this filthy thing off the bed!”

Jing Xinze glanced at the doggy, who had nestled itself in a corner of the bed to sleep, before saying, “You have to get the auspicious beast’s approval and marry Young Master Bo if you wish to exact revenge on Mo Jiangye, Princess.”
