A beautiful, gentle genius physician heroine x a scheming, war-crazed hero
Reborn + marriage first, love later + sweet historical romance + he falls first + size difference + fictional setting + no-brainer fun + younger man
Reborn once, Xu Wanrou decides to take her younger sister's place in a political marriage.
Xu Wanqing clasped her sister's hand. “Please don't go, Sister. The last princess sent to marry into the north was sacrificed as a battle offering within six months.”
Xu Wanrou smiled sadly. In her previous life, her younger sister had been sent to marry into the north while she entered the palace. Within a year, her sister had been beheaded as a sacrifice, and the iron hooves of the Northern Desert's wolf riders had broken through the palace gates. The old emperor fled with his ministers and moved the capital. Fortunately, Xu Wanrou had prepared poison, sparing herself the humiliation.
Xu Wanrou donned a lavish wedding gown and arrived in the Northern Desert. The princes all tried to pass her off to one another, none of them willing to take her.
The First Prince said, “My wife and I are very much in love, and I'm no longer young.”
The Fifth Prince said, “The princess from the Southern Dynasty is too delicate. She wouldn't last.”
The Seventh Prince said, “If none of you want her, then give her to me. What would I need a woman for? When I return from battle, she'll be my target.”
Xu Wanrou had never even met the Seventh Prince. She was imprisoned in Yunzhou, and when they met again, he said, “She is my principal wife and your mistress. No one is to show her disrespect.”
Only then did Xu Wanrou learn that the Seventh Prince was the heir apparent, destined to become the future ruler of the Northern Desert.
Very nice A different worldview
