# PRINCE # ESCAPEFAMINE

Lin Suisui, the legendary doctor of Medicine King Valley, saved countless lives during her life, but in the end, she died a tragic death when an arrow pierced her chest.

When she opened her eyes once more, she had become the crown princess who had just married into the East Palace! Standing before her was a lackey eunuch who was going to kick her while she was down, and behind her was a sickly prince who was severely injured and unconscious…

In desperation, Lin Suisui turned and kissed her husband’s thin lips with tears in her eyes…

***

Lu Ze, the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, was the pride of the heavens.

He was in charge of the frontier warriors, the unbeatable and invincible god of war! When the palace changed hands, he was seriously poisoned and falsely accused of treason.

When he next opened his eyes, he was met with a bed with red decorations and the word “double happiness” everywhere. The crown princess, who called him her husband in tears, was clutching a gold hairpin in hand as she stabbed the evil eunuch in the neck.

The violent and ruthless man didn’t know why he felt a surge of protectiveness towards her, and he never imagined that he would end up wanting to protect her for a lifetime!

Philip never expected his new life to be so… complicated. When a tragic accident in the modern metropolis of Bortinto abruptly ends his struggle for survival, he wakes up as the scandal-ridden heir of a ducal house in a world where magic and science coexist. Any fantasies of an easy, heroic life vanish the moment he realizes that the estate that he is tasked with managing is drowning in debt, and his reputation has been shredded by rumors involving his predecessor’s broken engagement to the socialite Lady Rosetta—the granddaughter of a prince.Even as he scrambles to rebuild his estate’s fortunes—grappling with contaminated land, mounting debts, and shrewed industrialists—he unearths troubling secrets about the original Philip’s heartbreak and suicide. A dark, hidden force seems intent on wiping him out for an unknown reason. As conspiracies emerge linking Lady Rosetta’s departure to these shadowy machinations, Philip struggles to separate ally from adversary, not knowing why this power in high places is so bent on destroying him.Meanwhile, the realm teeters on the brink of monumental change. Technological and social revolutions collide with century-old magical traditions, and war drums thunder on the distant borders. Armed with his modern knowledge of finance—now fused with the kingdom’s burgeoning industrial innovations—Philip attempts to ride the trends and transform his estate into a beacon of prosperity and secure his heirship to the ducal title. Yet each small triumph only attracts more enemies.Tasked by the System with cultivating a supernatural entity while uncovering the real reason behind Lady Rosetta’s canceled engagement and the original Philip’s tragic end, he must also shield those he grows to care about from the looming threats. Will he harness the synergy of magic, technology, and commerce to steer his estate toward greatness, or will malevolent forces quash his second chance at life? Will his second chance at life end the same tragic way as his first?

There was no light in the night, save for the sound of war drums and war cries.

The young man listened carefully, it was the sound of his heartbeat and the flow of his blood.

What lay hidden in the darkness ahead? Is it man, god or……a monster?

There was no such thing as the best road, because the journey beneath one’s feet is limitless!
