The Frail Young Lord and His Tiger Wife

[Sweet historical romance + strong female lead + sickly, beautiful male lead + political intrigue + married first, fall in love later]

Everyone in the capital knew that Chu Lichen, heir to Prince Rong, was a sickly beauty made of jade, liable to fall over in the slightest breeze.

Everyone on the frontier knew that Mu Jingmiao, the youngest daughter of a military family, was a steel-hearted menace with the strength to lift a cauldron.

An imperial decree bound him, who “wouldn't live past this winter,” and her, “whom no one dared marry,” together as husband and wife.

The entire capital waited to see how this wheezing, frail heir would survive the “torment” of his tigress wife.

By day, Mu Jingmiao used her fists to whip the prince's household into shape.

By night, Chu Lichen used his charms to “whip” her into shape.

Later, Mu Jingmiao rubbed her slightly rounded belly and mused, “Weren't you supposed to die this year?”

Chu Lichen smiled and kissed her. “Your yang energy... is very nourishing, my lady.”
