Ill-Fated Lovebirds: The Substitute Bride Reigns Supreme

The emperor bestowed a marriage, betrothing the two Xie sisters to the two Jun brothers.

The elder sister, Xie Ciyuan, is the capital's foremost literary talent. Though frail and sickly, she is actually shrewd and perceptive, skilled at plotting from behind the scenes.

The younger sister, Xie Wanggong, is a young general from the borderlands. She has spent three years disguised as a man and won countless battles, yet is pure-hearted, brave, and fierce.

The elder brother, Jun Moyuan, is the empire's chief minister, known as the "Jade-Faced Fox." He is deep-thinking, cool, and aloof.

The younger brother, Jun Moxiao, is a great general of the cavalry who guards the northern frontier. He's a devoted, innocent sweetheart, gentle despite his clumsiness.

When the imperial decree arrived, the whole capital was in an uproar:

The literary genius matched with the general, the fierce warrior matched with the chief minister.

On their wedding night, the younger sister threw her chief-minister groom to the floor with a shoulder throw. The younger brother squeezed the walnuts he was peeling for his literary wife into powder.

With all four of them utterly dumbfounded, was this mismatched marriage a blunder, or a match made in heaven?

Watch two couples, one literary and one martial, grow close and stand by each other through all the chaos, from household rivalries to court intrigue, and from the capital to the borderlands, until they finally retire after achieving greatness and enjoy a peaceful life.
