[A substitute bride brings good fortune + everyone can hear thoughts + gossip System + play the pig to eat the tiger + romance after marriage + sweet, satisfying story]
On her third day after transmigrating, Jiang Wan was forced by her wicked stepmother to take her half-sister's place as the bride of Xiao Jiu Chen, the Prince of Dingbei, who was rumored to have both legs crippled and only three days left to live.
Her half-sister stole her dowry, and the whole capital was waiting to see her become a widow.
Jiang Wan could barely keep from laughing.
Once married, she'd be a princess consort. As soon as the prince breathed his last, she'd be able to lie flat with all his wealth!
But just as she entered the wedding chamber, a gossip System suddenly bound itself to her.
[No way! This prince is pretending to be paralyzed and dead? Even the emperor was fooled?]
The hidden guard on the roof nearly fell down.
Xiao Jiu Chen almost opened his eyes on the spot.
Jiang Wan had no idea what was going on and kept greedily listening to gossip.
[My stepmother stole my dowry? Just wait until she loses everything!]
[The Second Prince acts benevolent, but he's hiding such a huge secret?]
[Wait! How is my own birth connected to a shocking bloodbath?]
From then on, everyone in the prince's residence secretly listened to her thoughts, while one powerful noble after another had their secrets exposed.
Jiang Wan listened to gossip and took down scoundrels, all while trying to save enough money to run away.
But somehow, the cold-faced God of War who'd been pretending to be dead grew more and more clingy!
Later, Xiao Jiu Chen held her protectively in his arms in front of everyone.
"Who dares lay a hand on my princess consort?"
Jiang Wan was dumbfounded.
What happened to becoming a widow in three days?!
