[Sweet romance, cathartic revenge, fictional historical palace intrigue, reborn heroine takes down scumbags and serves up face-slapping]
She is Feng Siyue, the little princess of Fengzhu. A descendant of the woman chosen to be empress of Xiling, she is on her way to marry in place of the Grand Princess when a prince from a neighboring kingdom abducts her to be his bride. Before her wedding can even happen, she becomes a twice-married woman.
“Damn you, Bian Yuanyi! Give me back my husband, Nan Wenling!”
She thinks she’ll soon escape from Bian, but just as she is being escorted to her wedding, she is taken hostage amid civil unrest and narrowly escapes death.
Her “husband” rescues her, and she thinks she can finally marry him without a hitch. But everyone in Yuan believes that the stand-in princess is no longer a virgin.
On the wedding day, without her knowledge, he even brings two concubines into the household.
“What a blessing! Can a bridegroom even handle that much excitement in one night?”
Should she wait for him to summon her, or make the first move?
“But I’m a girl!”
She didn’t bleed on her wedding night? Everyone in Yuan had already expected that.
“What do you mean I didn’t bleed? This princess was just shy!”
Nan Wenling: “Could this thousand-mile journey to find my wife really be just as the world suspects?”
Feng Siyue: “If I keep acting so proper, shouldn’t I worry that the man I’ve won will run off?”
“Find me some experienced women in the city. This princess wants to learn how to flirt with men!”
With her husband secured and her birth family weakened by war and a shortage of men, Feng Siyue is summoned home to help lead the army and govern the country.
“If you submit to me, I’ll give you a whole kingdom as part of the marriage!”
