After Becoming a Substitute Bride, the Crippled Prince Stood Again

(Sweet romance + devoted couple + pure historical romance + one-on-one) The principal wife and a concubine of the Minister of Works' household gave birth on the same day, amid strange celestial omens. A wandering Daoist passing by once made a pronouncement. Two daughters in one family: one blessed by auspicious stars, the other accompanied by ill fortune. Zuo You, the concubine's daughter, was branded a jinx, driven from the household, and sent to an estate outside the capital. She was gone for sixteen years, and thought she would never return to the capital. But when her father and grandmother used threats and enticements to pressure her, Zuo You had no choice but to take her elder sister's place and marry the unconscious Sixth Prince, Yan Chi. Yan Chi was the emperor's sixth son, brilliant from childhood. He could compose poetry at three, mastered martial arts at six, and at thirteen single-handedly turned the tide of a desperate battle and drove back the Northern Rong. Everyone considered him the undisputed heir to the throne. But his good fortune did not last. At fifteen, Yan Chi was tricked into falling from a cliff, leaving him unable to walk. At twenty, he suddenly fell into an unconscious state. With nowhere else to turn, Consort Rou heeded the Daoist's words and sought a woman born at an auspicious hour to marry Yan Chi and bring him good fortune. At first, Yan Chi did not care for this bride chosen to bring him good fortune. “I am disabled, so I shouldn't hold you back. If your heart belongs to someone else one day, you may seek a better match.” Later, Yan Chi said, “For all eternity, I will never leave you.” A story of a one-sided love from the heroine's perspective that finally comes true.
