The Frail Eldest Princess

Everyone says that Princess Changshou was born blessed, though she herself never seemed to have much luck. When she was just born, she took a calamity meant for her scumbag father. After recovering from his illness, he felt guilty toward her and stopped favoring his concubines over his wife; Later, when her elder brother the Crown Prince ascended the throne, someone took advantage of an earthquake to stir up trouble. She fell gravely ill again, and by the time she recovered, the country was out of danger. Later still, someone tried to harm her eldest nephew. She fell into the water while saving him. From then on, Princess Changshou became a bona fide invalid, gasping for breath after taking three steps and always at risk of dying at any moment. At first, everyone thought Princess Changshou would never live to see her fifteenth birthday. Yet under the devoted care of her mother, elder brother, and eldest nephew, the sickly princess somehow lived safely until her marriage. Her childhood sweetheart, the heir to the Duke of An's title, was more than happy to take over from her brother and mother, continuing to cherish his frail little wife in the palm of his hand. Much later, when Princess Changshou had enjoyed a long and happy life, those who had made snide remarks regretted their poor judgment. Reading Guide: 1.
