A Substitute Bride for the Prince’s Mansion, Then My Dead Husband Returns!

[Traditional historical romance + devoted couple + doting love + no transmigration or rebirth] The richest family in Jiangnan is fabulously wealthy, with riches to rival a kingdom, and the emperor regards them with suspicion. To bury her master, Shen Nanyi accepts a hundred taels of silver and agrees to take the place of the Shen family’s legitimate daughter and enter the palace as a consort. Unfortunately, the emperor is no longer up to the task in bed, no matter how much he wants to be. In his anger, he issues an imperial decree ordering Shen Nanyi to choose one of the princes as her husband, or be executed. After this announcement, none of the princes dares marry her. Shen Nanyi, however, remains completely calm. “In that case, I’ll marry a dead man.” She marries the Sixth Prince, who died in battle. On their wedding day, she bows to the ancestral tablet in place of the groom. She moves into the Sixth Prince’s residence and becomes a princess consort. She thinks she’ll spend her days surrounded by music and dancing, feasting on delicacies, and drinking heavenly wine. But who could have guessed that her supposedly dead husband would come back to life... and take liberties with her on their wedding night? Xie Siyan teasingly asks, “You’re still here. Are you hoping we’ll consummate the marriage?” Shen Nanyi only wants to keep her identity hidden. She has no interest in competing with anyone for affection. But Xie Siyan seems to have a knack for seeing through scheming women, and his words leave the green tea types reeling. He saves her life time and again. Shen Nanyi is moved, but doesn’t dare lose herself in him. One day, she fakes her death and escapes, thinking he’ll soon forget her. But on the day she dies, he goes mad, killing until his eyes are bloodshot. Word spreads that he weeps every night... Captured and brought back after faking her death, Shen Nanyi’s heart turns cold. But Xie Siyan says, “As long as you don’t leave, I’ll agree to anything.” A man in the highest position bows his head for love, asking only that they never leave each other, in life or in death.
