Wei Lan has terrible luck. Not only does she transmigrate into the body of a fool, she arrives on her wedding night!
But the moment she gets there, she hears the terrible news: the groom wants to use her heart's blood as medicine.
With a red veil over her head, she pretends to be foolish. "Nanny said... I should go play hide-and-seek with Mother."
The man chuckles and walks in, his phoenix eyes glinting with ice. "My princess consort is quite well-behaved."
Worse, the System in her head keeps chiming: [Affection: 15%. Failure means your consciousness will dissipate.]
Wei Lan: Fine, I'll play the fool. I have to stay alive.
But this prince has some truly peculiar tastes.
When Nanny Nian forces her to drink talisman water, she flips the table and cries, "Dirty!" He raises an eyebrow. Affection +5%.
When she climbs a tree to escape Madam Wei's pursuit, she falls into his arms. He pinches her cheek and calls her "naughty." Affection +10%.
Even when she tries to run away in the middle of the night and gets caught, crying, "I want to go home," he holds her wrist and chuckles. Her affection shoots up to 32%!
Lu Zhengdu traps her in the Frostfall Courtyard, his fingertips brushing the scars on her back. "Run again, and I'll lock you up."
Looking at the obsession in his eyes, Wei Lan suddenly has a flash of inspiration and pretends to be crazy. "Your Highness, is the older sister in Heartlake Garden pretty?"
His expression darkens. He grips her chin and kisses her. "Mention someone else again. See what happens."
[Ding! Affection +7%! Current progress: 44%~]
Eventually, she figures out the pattern: this madman loves it when she "disobeys."
When Wei Xiru slaps her and she runs into his arms crying to complain, Lu Zhengdu's gaze turns steely. "Who dares lay a hand on my woman?"
Wei Lan watches him turn and order, "Cut off her hands," and suddenly shivers.
The faster her affection score rises, the more she feels that she's getting farther from "going home" and closer to this madman.
