"The Unruly Consort: Trapping the Emperor’S Heart"? The wild and unruly beauty

The golden sun hung high in the sky, casting a warm glow over the bustling streets of Jiangzhou. The scent of fresh osmanthus flowers drifted in the air, blending with the lively calls of merchants and the laughter of children playing by the riverbanks. Amidst this peaceful scene, a sudden burst of movement disrupted the serenity.

Young ore, dressed in a flowing peach-colored robe, darted through the crowd like a mischievous fox, his laughter ringing clear and bright. His long, ebony hair flowed behind him like silk, the jade hairpin barely holding its place amidst the chaos of his wild sprint.

“Jungkook! You wretched boy, stop right there!”

An elderly steward, his face red with exertion, huffed and puffed as he chased after him. He clutched his aching waist, his once dignified expression twisted in helpless frustration.

But the young ore, Jungkook, only laughed harder. he glanced back, his doe-shaped eyes gleaming with playful mischief.

Jungkook (ore)

“Steward Liu, if you run any slower, even a tortoise will outrun you! Do you wish for me to carry you instead?”

“Y-you—! Insolent child!” Steward Liu nearly stumbled in his rage. “Just wait until the Madam hears of this!”

Jungkook merely grinned, his delicate face radiant beneath the sunlight. It was a face so breathtakingly beautiful that even the finest poets of the land would struggle to describe it. His lips, naturally tinted like ripened cherries, curled in amusement, while his skin, smooth as the first snowfall of winter, glowed under the daylight.

But his beauty was not the only thing that made him unforgettable. he was bold, witty, and utterly shameless when it suited him.

Jungkook (ore)

“Madam? Oh, you mean my dear, dear Aunt?” He feigned shock, clutching his chest dramatically. “Steward Liu, have you forgotten? She’s the one who brought me up. If she could tolerate me for so many years, what makes you think she’ll punish me now?”

“You—!!”

Steward Liu was so furious that he nearly lost his footing. He was already old, yet he had been forced to chase after this little ancestor almost every single day!

The cause of today's commotion? It was none other than a marriage proposal from a wealthy young master.

Madam Xiao, the noble matron of the Xiao family, had received a letter from the esteemed Lu family earlier that morning. The Lu family’s second young master had taken an interest in Jungkook and wished to propose marriage. For any other young ore , this would have been an honor beyond words. But for Jungkook?

He had nearly choked on his tea upon hearing the news.

Marriage? Staying within the confines of the inner courtyard, embroidering peonies, and gossiping with idle noblewomen? Ridiculous! Jungkook had no interest in marriage, no desire for a caged life. He wanted to roam the vast lands, explore the mountains and rivers, and seek the wonders of the world!

Thus, before his aunt could speak another word, he had bolted from the courtyard, causing a scene as he fled like a bandit escaping capture. Now, as she weaved through the streets, her mind was already planning her next great escape. Little did she know…

Fate had already set its eyes upon him. For at that very moment, back in the Xiao residence, his aunt sat calmly with a brush in hand, carefully writing his name on a certain list… The imperial concubine selection list.
