Following the Good-for-Nothing Prince into Exile

(A dual-female-lead story) The prince of the Dayong Dynasty is exiled to Qianzhou, and Princess Consort Shen Xinyue can only stare at her good-for-nothing husband and despair. She was a modern woman who fell into a sewer on her way to work during a torrential downpour and transmigrated to the Dayong Dynasty, where she became the Princess Consort of Prince Teng, who was suffering a difficult childbirth. Weak and still recovering from childbirth, she now has to shoulder the burden of keeping the family fed. Ask him to farm, and his back aches, his legs cramp, and he can barely stand. Ask him to clear land by burning brush, and he burns down their only ramshackle hut. That’s right, Li Yu, Prince Teng of the Dayong Dynasty, really is that much of a good-for-nothing. But what can you do? He was the Empress’s adopted son, and she deliberately raised him to be useless so he wouldn’t outshine the Crown Prince. The poor boy lost his mother at birth and stumbled through childhood under the Empress’s care. At last, he was made a prince and sent out of the palace, where he could finally live as master of his own household. But then he was implicated in the Empress’s witchcraft scandal, stripped of his status, and exiled to Qianzhou. How could a prince raised deep within the palace, with no ability to survive on his own, possibly support a family? Shen Xinyue just wants to stay alive. Relying on a husband who can’t do anything is less realistic than expecting a sow to climb a tree. Fortunately, his concubine Liu Ruyan, a former lady-in-waiting from the Palace Service Bureau, is knowledgeable, capable, and resourceful. The two women join forces to support the family. They can’t let her good-for-nothing husband lie flat. With the women pushing him onward, Li Yu gradually transforms into a responsible farmer, husband, and father. Refusing to wait for help in their desperate circumstances, they build a life from nothing. Little by little, the family settles into a peaceful country life, a haven from the world, and the couple’s hardship gives rise to sincere affection… But then the winds of change sweep through, shattering their quiet, carefree life. They are forced into the turmoil of war and the struggle for imperial power…
