[Substitute marriage + dream-entry golden finger + intense push and pull + succession struggle and romantic entanglements + mutual devotion]
Luo Qingxi was forced to marry in someone else's place and became the auspicious bride of the Eighth Prince, who had been unconscious for three years.
On the surface, the struggle for the throne seemed calm, but in truth, danger lurked everywhere and undercurrents surged.
The various factions made open and covert moves, testing one another at every turn. The new brides who had just entered the prince's household walked on eggshells, afraid that the slightest misstep would get them sent to their deaths.
Only Luo Qingxi smiled slyly and asked, “What's the big deal?”
By day, she demanded money. By night, she stirred up trouble.
She had all the means and nerve she needed to torment people in their dreams.
Today, she trapped the stewardess who came looking for trouble!
Tomorrow, she outwitted her vicious half-sister, who had set a trap for her!
The day after, she even had the hypocritical Crown Prince dancing in the palm of her hand!
She turned the entire capital upside down.
Luo Qingxi wasn't afraid in the least.
She was the only honored guest in the Eighth Prince's dreams. Who could scare her?!
After all, her bond with the living corpse lying in bed ran far too deep.
If there was no title, there was a contract. If there was no contract, there was ten thousand taels of gold.
At first, the living corpse of a prince, deep and restrained, thought of the bride who had married in someone else's place: “Just go along with the rules. As long as she doesn't ruin my plans, that's fine.”
Later, the battle-hardened prince lost control and cracked: “I pour my heart out to you in dreams, and once you're awake, all you think about is running off with the money to keep some pretty young man!”
Later still, the emperor who held all power in his hands personally laid ten thousand taels of gold along a bridal procession stretching ten miles. He drew her into his arms and coaxed her hoarsely: “The empire is yours, the gold is yours, and I am yours too. Please don't leave, all right?”
Reader's guide:
Both leads are virgins. A feigned-innocent, drama-loving miser heroine vs. a scheming, restrained, jealous battle god hero.
