The Substitute Bride and the Powerful Minister: The Prince's Fearsome Reputation Crumbles

[Marriage First, Love Later + Both Transmigrate + Pure Romance + Household Schemes]

Wen Jiuli transmigrates into the body of a doomed character who won’t survive three chapters, and is forced to marry Xie Linyuan in place of another bride. He’s said to be a living King of Hell who drinks human blood. She thinks certain death awaits her, only to discover that the mad prince seems a little… off.

She complains of being cold one night, and the next day a luxurious Persian cashmere blanket arrives at the manor. When her stepsister schemes against her, he brings soldiers to stand up for her, and a wedding robe embroidered with phoenixes and peonies dazzles everyone!

When she tries to save up money to run away, he turns around and showers her with gold and silver, calling it “pocket money.” Wen Jiuli is utterly bewildered. How does he know everything? Can he read minds?

The entire capital waits to see when she’ll meet a tragic end in the prince’s manor, but all they get is the regent furiously beheading court officials for her, leveling the marquis’s estate, and cradling her in his hands, spoiling her until she becomes the most honored woman in the realm.

He kills without mercy, yet clumsily bandages her wounds. He wields power over the entire court, yet secretly clears every obstacle from her path.

As she gradually becomes immersed in his overwhelming devotion, she has no idea the man is hiding a shocking secret. The eyes fixed on her have already crossed the span of two lifetimes.
