After Becoming the Mad Prince Yuan’s Substitute Bride, the Max-Level Expert Goes on a Rampage

[World Background]

The Great Yan is a fictional dynasty where a high-martial world meets the imperial court and martial sects. Prince Yuan, Ye Ci, was once the world's greatest expert at the Celestial Realm. After being ambushed and poisoned with a deadly toxin, he lost the use of his legs and withdrew to Youdu. His temperament changed drastically, and he became a bloodthirsty killer. To preserve the engagement between their fake daughter and the Crown Prince, the Duke Who Guards the Nation's family sends their newly returned biological daughter to Prince Yuan's residence as a bride to bring him good fortune, hoping to use him to kill her. They have no idea they've sent a god of slaughter capable of overturning the world.

[Character Mapping]

1. The Qiao Residence, the Chancellor's household, maps to the Duke Who Guards the Nation's family. The fake daughter Qiao Wan maps to the fake daughter Yun Zhiruo, and Crown Prince Shen Xi maps to the Crown Prince of Great Yan. 2. Prince Qi, Shen Jue, maps to Prince Yuan, Ye Ci, retaining his disability, his violent nature, and the fact that his poison flare-ups require blood. 3. Qiao Yun's “genuinely foolish, stammering” persona maps to Yun Jiuqing's “play the pig to eat the tiger” act. She retains her love of food and the soothing effect her natural fragrance has on the male lead, but instead of passively letting others bully her, she takes control and physically puts her tormentors out of commission when they provoke her. This perfectly fits the user's request for a “more ruthless” and satisfying hit-novel approach.
