My new book is out! Come read it on Tomato Novel.
Her cousin Xie Mingyue threatened to kill herself, wailing that she would rather shave her head and become a nun than marry Prince Jing, Xiao Che, the “violent madman who changes consorts every night”! Her aunt knelt and kowtowed, forcing Xie Linwei, the orphaned daughter of a condemned official, to marry into the very jaws of death in her cousin’s place.
On their wedding night, the capital’s aristocrats all bet that the condemned man’s daughter wouldn’t survive past midnight. But the supposedly debauched mad prince grabbed her by the waist and pinned her firmly against the bridal bed. There wasn’t a trace of drunkenness in his eyes. He gripped her chin and laughed, reckless and dangerous. “Has the Xie family run out of people? They sent a condemned man’s daughter here to die? Now that you’re here, don’t expect to leave in one piece!”
The entire capital waited to laugh as she was cast aside and tormented, but as the days passed, things took an increasingly absurd turn!
A ledger she happened to flip through revealed shocking proof that the Third Prince had colluded with the enemy and betrayed his country. A military strategy she casually mentioned helped the mad prince triumph on the battlefield and rack up one victory after another!
On the night of the palace coup, arrows rained down. The decisive, ruthless man shielded her without hesitation, taking a fatal sword strike for her. His battle robe soaked with blood, he still smiled at her. “Don’t be afraid. As long as I’m here, who would dare lay a finger on you?”
