The Sickly Beauty in Chains

Second Young Master Rong is not like other people. He has been frail and sickly since childhood.

After nineteen years of illness, the emperor arranges his marriage to a fake princess he has never even seen.

He doesn’t have to do anything at all. He only needs to sit quietly and look pretty.

What the emperor values is his father, the Grand Tutor, and his elder brother, a general.

Every month, he sneaks away to watch a performance of a traditional opera. There is always a pair of eyes watching and sizing him up from the shadows.

[What is he doing…? Why does he keep staring at me?]

[He’s coming over… Do we know each other?!]

Rong Xi rises in a panic. As the man draws closer, all he wants is to get away as quickly as possible. The man is surrounded by an air of nobility, his presence oppressive, and he traps Rong Xi in a corner of the attic.

Terrified, Rong Xi wonders if he has run into a criminal.

He keeps a wary eye on the man from behind a screen.

The man comes close, the strong scent of incense on his clothes filling Rong Xi’s nose. He grips Rong Xi’s chin and asks in a low voice, “You’re the sickly one who married into the princess’s household?”

Rong Xi doesn’t know who he is, but he feels insulted. The man even tries to kiss him, so Rong Xi shoves him away and flees in a panic.

On the day they meet at a palace banquet, their eyes meet. Rong Xi freezes as the crab in his hand falls onto his plate.

The lecher who had accosted him was none other than His Highness the Crown Prince.

That night, he finally learns why he has never seen the princess, even though they have been married for so long.

It turns out the person who bowed with him before heaven and earth, drank the wedding wine, and shared his bed was the Crown Prince!

1. Happy ending, 1v1, both identities revealed (already revealed).

2. Arrogant little puppy in women’s clothes x frail, beautiful older brother.

3. A lighthearted, mutually doting romance. Come give it a try!

4. Arranged marriage, then love; love at first sight, or rather, love at first sight of his looks. The puppy goes wild and loses himself the moment he sees his frail wife.
