How a Blind Boy Won Over the Cannon-Fodder Crown Prince

Marriage first, love later | Mutual salvation *Complete manuscript finished

"Are you willing to marry me?"

"This common woman is willing."

"Why? Have you never heard that I look like a yaksha and am an ill omen?"

"Your Highness, you shouldn't say things like that about yourself."

For the first time, the shadowed, somber face of the high-ranking man took on a lively glow.

Rumor had it that the crown prince, Xiao Linchuan, was disfigured and looked like a yaksha, an ill omen. Anyone who married him would be bound to a fiend. Not only would she never enjoy good fortune and splendor, every child she bore would die in the womb. In the end, she would become neither human nor ghost, wishing she were dead. Women across the realm would rather die than marry him, and for years the vast eastern palace had stood empty.

Until the arrival of a blind woman shattered this unchanging rumor.

Shen Zhiyi transmigrated into a book with a mission, but got off to a disastrous start by transmigrating into a blind woman.

She knew that the crown prince Xiao Linchuan, a doomed supporting character in the book, spent half his life diligently helping govern the realm. Yet in the end, he was assassinated by the male lead, Prince Huan, who seized power. He was left exposed in the wilderness, surrounded by wild beasts, and died without a complete corpse.

She had to save him, and was also tasked with winning his heart. Marrying him was by far the easiest way.

She praised him as dazzling, peerless, and one in a million, then left him alone on their wedding night because she didn't want to get pregnant.

He looked toward the bright red wedding characters on the wall, poured himself a full cup of wine, and drained it. Cracks spread across the cup.

"If she deceives me, I'll make sure she never finds peace!"

"I want to believe you."

In the middle of the night, whenever Shen Zhiyi dreams, she can always see Xiao Linchuan.

"No matter how many difficulties you face, only sincerity can overcome them. Don't solve problems with schemes. Use your heart."

In the dream, he is still young, handsome, and refined. At first, she doesn't recognize him, but she remembers his words.

So the affairs of this world really do call for sincerity.

Then she'll try treating him with all her heart.

She helps him turn the tide, and also joins him in facing the abyss, wishing only for them to be as one, sharing hardships together.

She never expected that he would also be willing to be her eyes, saving her from certain death, hoping only to share a loving marriage with her and stay by her side in life and death.

Suddenly, she understands what it means to be blind.

Only when the surface is unseen can the heart be seen.

"If you could see me, would you leave me?"

"But I've already seen you."
