[Quick-Witted, Quirky Little Sunshine x Tsundere, Brooding, Ice-Cold Prince] Married First, Love Later; The Leads Speak Their Minds
What? I transmigrated to ancient times after a quack doctor poisoned me to death? And on my very first day here, I'm supposed to go through that old cliché of being married off in someone else's place? Heavens above, earth below! I'm still just a young woman who's barely come of age, still in the bloom of youth... Well, I still am, actually.
The day before her wedding, Meng Zhaojun woke up to find her hands and feet bound, unable to move, while some unknown creature calling itself a Conquest System spoke to her inside her mind. After learning the whole story, of course she refused to accept her fate. She struggled with all her might, and, well, eventually gave in!
On her wedding night, candlelight flickered, casting rings of crimson that looked just like the rouge on a young woman's cheeks. Beneath the lovely glow, Pei Huaiyu politely lifted her veil, and their eyes met. Only then did Meng Zhaojun get a good look at the young man before her. Oh my gosh, he was handsome! Cold as ice, with a heroic air, his features rising and falling like a range of towering mountains. Ignoring the young woman's appraisal, Pei Huaiyu said curtly and distantly, "It's late. Get some rest." That's it? Meng Zhaojun was astonished. This beauty, as lovely as a flower, had just been insulted a little too much.
The princess consort brings him ginseng soup. Pei Huaiyu: "I won't drink it. Throw it out." A little while later: "My mouth's dry. Where's the ginseng soup?"
The princess consort embroiders him a good-luck charm. Pei Huaiyu: "It's ugly. Toss it." A few months later: "It's actually kind of cute."
On a snowy night, Pei Huaiyu lifted Meng Zhaojun's chin with icy fingers and asked sternly, "What exactly is your relationship with him?" Gazing at his handsome face, the young woman's heart began to race...
At midnight, he gently drew her into his arms. "No matter whose pawn you are, you'll always be my wife."
