Young Lord of Southern Xinjiang, Stop Raising Gu! The Princess Is Going to Tame You

[Two Female Leads, Reversed Identities, 1v1, Both Pure, Happy Ending]

[Black-hearted Princess Who Acts Innocent x Paper Tiger Young Mistress Who's Naturally Clueless]

(They have a height difference! The princess is tall, raised in luxury. The young mistress is short, abused since childhood. A short tomboy!)

A Yimu, young mistress of the Miao Gu clan in southern Xinjiang, believes in only one thing: gu worms never lie.

She snatched the Central Plains princess Wei Yaoguang from the Northern Di. Tall, fair-skinned, and a blubbering mess whenever she cries, she looks utterly useless.

But her bloodline is special. She's the only ingredient A Yimu can use to refine the King Gu. With the King Gu, A Yimu can compete with her older brothers and sisters.

A Yimu plants gu worms in Princess Wei and draws her blood. Wei Yaoguang cries from the pain, so A Yimu stuffs candied fruit into her mouth. When Wei Yaoguang has a nightmare and calls for her father, A Yimu sits beside her bed and pats her back.

A Yimu tells herself it's only because the ingredient must not die.

Yet, quietly, something else begins to stir in her heart.

It isn't until envoys from the Central Plains arrive with an army, and the King of Southern Xinjiang is so terrified that he kneels before them, that A Yimu learns how frightening the Central Plains can be.

As compensation, Wei Yaoguang doesn't ask for gold, silver, or territory. She points at A Yimu. "Give her to me."

A Yimu is taken back to the Central Plains, given a new dress, and settled in the princess's residence. Wei Yaoguang sits beside her, smiling brightly.

"Don't worry. I won't use you as an ingredient."

She lifts A Yimu's chin with a fingertip.

"I need a princess consort. You'll do."

The tips of A Yimu's ears turn red.

"I'm a woman!"

"I know." Wei Yaoguang smiles. "You kissed this princess, and now you don't want to take responsibility? Come on, call me something sweet."

"...Big sister~..."
