I Married a Scheming Crown Prince in Disguise

[Thank you all for supporting the official release! Please leave a five-star review, mwah!]

When Ji Hexian was fourteen, she brought her late brother's intended bride home in his place.

Her sister-in-law was beautiful and good in every way, except that she had been so badly frightened she could no longer speak. Ji Hexian loved spending time with her and regarded her like a real older sister. What's more, after her sister-in-law came home, the illness that had plagued her for days finally began to improve.

Sadly, it didn't last. Once Ji Hexian had recovered, she followed her parents to the capital in response to an imperial summons, while her sister-in-law had to travel south with her family. That unusual marriage came to an end.

Before they parted, her sister-in-law asked her to promise something.

"What is it?"

"Please don't forget: the two people who were wed at the ceremony were you and me."

Ji Hexian said nothing, only nodded slightly.

Several years later, Ji Hexian accompanied her grandfather on a visit to the crown prince, Liang Pei. But at first sight, she felt that this prince, whom she had never met before, looked oddly familiar.

"Have we met somewhere before?" she asked.

Liang Pei smiled. "We've not only met, we've been married."

Ji Hexian: "?"

"Back then, you called me big sister." Liang Pei stepped closer. "Shouldn't you call me something else now, little Hexian?"

Ji Hexian: "??"

Oh no, she's run into a fox spirit. Worse, the fox spirit has come to demand a title from her.

---- Next up for preorder: Junior Sister Is Off Duty Today ----

Cen Guanhuo is an ordinary disciple of Frostsky Ancient Path. Her main job is to guard the door for the reclusive founder.

Don't underestimate the job. From the sect leader who runs Frostsky Ancient Path to all her fellow disciples, anyone who wants to see the founder has to get past Cen Guanhuo.

"The founder is receiving no visitors today."

"Nor tomorrow."

"The day after, either."

Every day, Cen Guanhuo writes the founder's visiting hours on a wooden sign, hangs it by the door, and changes it when the time comes. Then she...

goes off duty to play cards.

That's right. Every day, aside from practicing cultivation, Cen Guanhuo plays cards with her two closest companions, her senior brother Yang Fengzhen and senior sister Yang Fengwei.

She loses more than she wins, but never gets tired of playing.

But one day, Yang Fengzhen realized that Cen Guanhuo, who had arranged to play cards with him, hadn't shown up at his door on time.

"Did junior sister have to work overtime today?"

Yang Fengzhen went to the place where Cen Guanhuo guarded the door and leaned in for a look. Scrawled across the wooden sign were the words: "Going down the mountain to steal a bride. Leaving today, back tomorrow."

Yang Fengzhen: "??"

When did junior sister take on this job? How come he didn't know?

So Yang Fengzhen, who believed in sharing blessings and weathering hardships together, hurriedly packed his things and went down the mountain to make a mess of it.

---- Section break ----

Li Yingxin had lived an honest life for half a lifetime. At last, he had saved enough for a small plot of land and was ready to leave the mountain, go home, and live as an ordinary farmer. But fate had other plans. His once-peaceful little sect was suddenly attacked by an enemy, and his childhood sweetheart, junior sister Yan Xihuai, was abducted and forced to become the enemy's bride. After more than twenty years of being a coward, Li Yingxin gritted his teeth, set off alone on a thousand-mile journey, and swore to save his junior sister from danger.

Sadly, before he could accomplish anything, his journey was cut short. He had barely left the mountain gate when the enemy beat him into a panicked retreat.

"Waaaah... Your little brother is useless. Please come save me, big brother... Waaaah..."

With tears streaming down his face, Li Yingxin wrote a letter asking for help and sent it to Frostsky Ancient Path.

That's right. Li Yingxin and Li Yixin, the current sect leader of Frostsky Ancient Path, are twin brothers.

Li Yixin was mortified when he received the letter. After thinking it over, he decided to send Cen Guanhuo to go stir up trouble.

The reason was simple: he thought Cen Guanhuo spent far too much time playing cards every day.

She had the supreme honor of guarding the founder's door, yet she dared to neglect her duties and play cards every day?

It was time she learned how cruel the world could be.

With a grand wave of Li Yixin's hand, Cen Guanhuo set off without looking back.

"I'm here to steal the bride." She stood at the wedding ceremony, full of confidence. "Which one of you is Li Yingxin?"

The guests burst into an uproar.

Because no one there was called Li Yingxin.

Li Yingxin, riding over on a donkey: Help, my butt hurts.

Cen Guanhuo: Oh no, I got here too early. The person I'm supposed to steal away hasn't arrived yet.

Note: Cen Guanhuo is the female lead and Li Yingxin is the male lead, but they have no romantic relationship. The female lead's love interest is her junior master.
