Forced Marriage

[One-line summary] After being reborn, she forcefully marries the sickly villain. PS: This is a silly comedy with no convoluted schemes or political intrigue, just a little sweet treat~

Su Xiaoqiao is the legitimate daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis household, with skin like ice and bones like jade, and a beauty beyond compare.

She was betrothed in childhood to the eldest son of the Chancellor's household. It seemed a match made in heaven, with a talented man and a beautiful woman.

But when Su Xiaoqiao opens her eyes again, the first thing she does is break off the engagement, then scheme to marry Prince Xiao, who has only recently returned to the capital.

To outsiders, Prince Xiao is the son of a deposed empress, fated to threaten the emperor. Exiled to the frontier, he is a useless prince in poor health.

Su Xiaoqiao, however, knows that before long he will raise an army in rebellion and seize the throne.

To work up her courage, Su Xiaoqiao gets drunk at a palace banquet. Taking advantage of Prince Xiao's supposed weakness, she corners him and shouts, "Help! Someone, help! Prince Xiao is trying to assault me!"

At last, she gets her wish and marries Prince Xiao, thinking she can live without a care from then on. But on their wedding night, the man traps her and gives a low laugh. "Trying to run? You're the one who came to me."

Su Xiaoqiao clutches her aching waist, on the verge of tears. "Y-you... aren't you supposed to be sickly? ...Sob, sob!"

Years later, Su Xiaoqiao waves a round fan as she watches her three sons playing in the courtyard, wondering how things could have turned out this way...

She has no idea that someone resorted to every trick and scheme to fool her into coming to him of her own accord.
