My Fair Princess: Xiaoyanzi's Substitute Marriage

[Substitute bride to bring good fortune + marriage before love + playing the pig to eat the tiger + mutual devotion]

[Martial heroine Yan and frail Qi]

She is Xiao Yun, daughter of Xiao Zhihang, the greatest hero in Jiangnan, and also the chivalrous heroine Little Swallow.

He is Yongqi, the Fifth Prince of Emperor Qianlong, whom the Imperial Astronomical Bureau predicted in childhood would not live past thirty.

When Little Swallow first met him, she fell for his looks and asked, “My lord, are you married?”

When they met again, she came clean: “Husband, we've met again.”

In front of Yongqi, she is a delicate Little Swallow who can barely fend for herself.

In front of everyone else, she's a ruthless demon king.

Yongqi: “How is my gentle, timid wife a she-devil in your eyes?”

Everyone else: “Are you blind? Gentle? Timid?”

(Note: Based on the New My Fair Princess. The Yongyan, Kangwei, Xiaoqing, and Taiya pairings remain unchanged, but the plot has been heavily revised. If it's not your cup of tea, feel free to move on!)
