It's Only a Political Marriage, Yet the Commandery Princess Takes It All in Stride

Married first, love later; mutually faithful leads; happy ending; written entirely by hand, so please go easy on me

Yun Anlan had just dealt with the scumbag fiancé who had cheated on her when her clan relatives joined forces to send her to Qi in a political marriage. Though she was a commandery princess, she had no parents or brothers to rely on. She accepted the assignment calmly, vowing to establish herself in the Prince of Qin’s household. But the moment she lifted her bridal veil, her new husband left her dazzled.

Xiao Tingyu had been forced into the political marriage. He was deeply unhappy about it, but could not disobey the emperor’s decree, so he married her anyway. To be honest, the heir’s wife was beautiful, but a bit too much of a handful.

Yun Anlan was proactive, while the more passive Xiao Tingyu gradually developed feelings for her. But just as he realized what was in his heart, the heir’s wife stopped paying him any attention. That wouldn’t do.

So, in order to win his wife over, the proud young heir began studying the romance stories he had once scorned, all so he could open his collar in the dead of night and say what was in his heart: “Please, my love, take pity on me!”

As the days passed, everyone in the Prince of Qin’s household came to care for Yun Anlan sincerely, and she became one of them. When faced with schemes, oppression, and difficulties, the whole family faced them together, always believing that unity mattered most.

Yet a blade of discontent still came to rest at their throats. If even loyal subjects could not escape death, Yun Anlan would not mind committing regicide for once.
