I Never Meant to Fall in Love, but the Mad Princess Dragged Me into Darkness

This isn’t a conventional power fantasy or an invincible-protagonist story. It focuses on personal growth and a sweet romance. The princess takes the initiative to flirt with her husband early on, then the male lead makes a comeback and fiercely protects his wife. It’s all about mutual devotion and never abandoning each other. If that’s not your thing, don’t read. [Alternate history + personal growth + sweet romance + one heroine + everyday life in ancient times]

When Xia Wanyu found Jiang Zhe in the Dead Creek Woods, he had nothing but a blood feud to his name.

Later, this poor boy, looked down on by everyone, rose through the ranks to become Grand Secretary with astonishing ease.

Even so, plenty of people still criticized him.

“That Jiang Zhe? He’s completely useless. He became Grand Secretary, yet can’t even come up with a plan to repel the enemy. Great Xia still has to rely on our princess.”

As soon as someone said this, they heard the princess praise Jiang Zhe’s strategy in court, calling him a talent capable of bringing peace and prosperity.

Some said Jiang Zhe had a problem in the bedroom. He hadn’t had a woman by his side in all these years, so he had to be into men.

Then they saw the princess publicly announce at a banquet attended by several kingdoms that Jiang Zhe was her consort.

Someone else tried to slack off and lodged a complaint against Jiang Zhe, claiming he had an illegitimate daughter outside the marriage.

The little princess beat him so badly he didn’t dare leave his house. “I’m of impeccable royal blood, and you’re calling me the daughter of some wild woman? Do you have a death wish?”

In this life, Jiang Zhe is all about reaching for blessings he doesn’t deserve. To be honest, he never wanted the princess to marry down to him!
