I'm the Cannon Fodder in a Sappy Romance Novel

[Yin Chuhe & Chu Qingci, a headstrong young man × a spoiled young woman]

As the most cherished princess of Great Chu, Chu Qingci had enjoyed every luxury in the world. But a strange dream shattered her peaceful life. In the dream, she was deeply in love with Yun Zhanyi, a hostage sent by the state of Yun, but he gave all his tenderness to her fourth elder sister, Chu Xiyue, as delicate as a willow in the breeze.

In the dream, jealousy consumed her. She repeatedly plotted against Chu Xiyue, but every time, Chu Xiyue escaped unscathed. Meanwhile, Chu Qingci's schemes backfired again and again, turning her into a jealous, vicious laughingstock in everyone's eyes. In the end, she was thrown into a wolf den. In the midst of excruciating pain, she could only watch as five starving wolves tore her body apart.

She had thought it was just an absurd dream, but the events in it began happening one by one. When Chu Qingci accidentally caught her elder sister meeting the hostage in secret, she panicked.

Just then, the Miao borderlands were under attack, throwing the court into turmoil. She volunteered to marry into another state, wanting only to flee as far away as possible.

Rumor had it that the people of the Miao borderlands were skilled in using poisonous gu, hideously ugly, powerfully built, eight chi tall, and bloodthirsty and brutal.

When gu-wielders attacked her party on the way to the marriage, Chu Qingci was rescued by a handsome young man.

They traveled together and fell in love.

But one day, the King of the Miao discovered where they were and ordered her to be taken away to marry his heir. Before leaving, Chu Qingci kissed the young man goodbye through her tears. On her wedding night, someone lifted her veil, and the familiar face she saw left her stunned.
