A Joyous Occasion for the Concubine’s Daughter: The Foolish Bride Crushes Her Scumbag Husband

Yu Mianmian, the third daughter of the Yu family, is known throughout the capital as the "foolish girl."

A high fever at the age of five damaged her mind and took away the last support she had in the inner chambers of her household. After ten years of pretending to be foolish and enduring in silence, she thought her life would be no more than ripples in a dry well.

Then an imperial decree arrived. The marriage her elder half-sister had refused was given to Mianmian, a concubine-born daughter. She was to marry the gentle Seventh Prince, Xiao Che.

On their wedding day, he did not lift her veil. On their wedding night, he left her alone in an empty bridal chamber. She kept playing the fool, watching him smile gently, defend her at every turn, and personally build around her a beautiful illusion called "devotion." Little by little, she lost herself in it and gave him her heart.

But she did not know that every tender gesture was honey laced with poison. Every act of care was calculated, and every time she "played the fool," he used it to his advantage. Only when he pushed her toward the abyss with his own hands at a palace banquet, all to secure military support, did she realize she was nothing but the most useful pawn on his path to the throne. He did not even furrow his brow when he "offered" her to Lu Jiuyuan, the obsessive antagonist.

A fire in the Cold Palace consumed the last of her attachment to the world. Yu Mianmian "died."
