Marriage Alliance

The Princess of Jialing was born with a face so beautiful it could outshine the world. Unfortunately, she was also cursed with a hard life.

Her parents died young, and her peerless beauty was treated as a bargaining chip and sent to the capital for a political marriage.

That was bad enough. The real headache was her intended match...

As the sons of princes and nobles came asking for her hand, Lin Yingwan couldn't understand. When had she ever attracted their attention?

Shen Shilan was brilliant and exceptionally capable, a young man whose name inspired fear across the land. He had just one flaw: he disliked women.

His mother told him that every peerlessly beautiful woman was a calamity. And Lin Yingwan, the most beautiful among beauties, was the greatest calamity of all. He must never let himself be tempted.

But when he saw how many suitors she had, the Crown Prince could no longer sit still.

Pei Mingjin was as her name suggested: radiant as brocade, and breathtakingly beautiful.

In her previous life, she married her second cousin, was murdered for her wealth, and died a tragic death.

During the years she drifted above the capital, Mingjin learned that her unloved, illegitimate eldest cousin would eventually take over the Xie family and become a powerful minister.

Mingjin was smitten.

Xie Jinzhi had learned of his parentage long ago. From that day on, he resolved to seize the family fortune, and nothing could shake his resolve.

Until one day, his dazzlingly beautiful little cousin timidly hooked her pinky around his.

Mingjin: That's all for now. Big Cousin is going to wash my little feet.
