A Marriage Ordered by Imperial Decree

[Next story: "The Kingmaker," about an unlucky soul who transmigrates into an ancient dynasty. Please add it to your reading list~~]

The Great Yan delegation escorted a princess on a diplomatic mission to the Western Liang Kingdom. But when the carriage curtains opened, it was Prince Chunyu Yan of Yonghe who stepped out.

His little sister was so adorable. How could he let her meet that Western Liang king, a smooth-talking, treacherous womanizer?

Naturally, as her big brother, he had to go assassinate him first... Ahem, just test him out.

But he was outmatched, and Chunyu Yan ended up in prison!

Chunyu Yan: "I'd rather starve to death in this dungeon, die fighting in the beast arena, and stay single my whole life than marry you, Usman, or bear your children!"

Many years later.

Chunyu Yan: "...This big pig trotter is really delicious. Mm!"

Usman: "My beloved consort, do you want it fast or slow?"

Chunyu Yan: "Stop blabbering. Do both, fast and slow!"

Usman: "Heh!"
