The Poor Fallen Princess Version:

Chu Chunguai is transported into a book called The Heroine Is Super Sweet and Gentle, where she becomes a cannon-fodder, chubby princess. Only after living with the original owner's hefty body does she learn how hard life can be.

Yan Chen is the only person in this world she cares about. She originally planned to raise him as her husband. He may be a little foolish, but just look at those eyes. They make her want to dig out her own heart and give it to him.

But one day, her foolish husband suddenly rises from obscurity and takes the seat that should have belonged to her emperor father. His cold phoenix eyes look down at her. Fallen princesses are always villains in TV dramas, and she watches him raise his hand and bring it down. Why is this different from what the book said?

She's a worldly person, but she's still afraid of dying.

The Upstart Prince Sings His Own Song Version:

Yan Chen's life has been spent facing endless darkness, with an abyss stretching behind him. He can discern the secrets of everything in the world, but he cannot find anyone who loves him.

Whether other people live or die depends entirely on his mood that day.

Then a chubby little dumpling barges into his closed-off world, taking up an enormous amount of space. For the first time, he feels that life might hold the tiniest thing worth looking forward to. That little dumpling, with all those layers of chub, is unexpectedly easy on the eyes.

When she starts losing weight at a visible pace, his heart aches. So Yan Yungu, while flirting with girls and taking a dislike to her emperor father, simply goes ahead and usurps the throne.

And so the princess becomes the pampered darling of a lovesick prince.

Blurb for the upcoming novel:

A chase-your-wife-to-the-crematorium story, happy ending

"Today, our joyful ceremony is complete, and a beautiful union is formed... United in heart and mind, building a happy home... Together, we pledge ourselves like mandarin ducks."

Princess Zhao Zhirou of the Daqing Dynasty gets her wish and marries the gentleman Yan Zhou of the capital, leaving everyone in an uproar.

Everyone says Yan Zhou is a distinguished gentleman who has made a name for himself in the capital. He cares nothing for wealth, shuns romance, remains cool and self-possessed, and values rules above all. He has been single and devoted to himself for years.

But Zhao Zhirou refuses to believe he has no heart. Before their wedding, she sends him pastries every day, defends him in front of others, and even confesses her love in public.

After they marry, she makes soup for him with her own hands, leaving them covered in cuts. She searches the world for rare books, hoping only to win a little favor from him. She takes care of the household so he won't have to worry...

Yet he looks at her with indifference and says:

"If His Majesty hadn't arranged this marriage, why would I have married Your Highness?"

"Your Highness should know your place."

"I do not love you."

Every word is cold and merciless, like a blade, befitting the reputation of a detached gentleman.

But she cannot control her own heart. On Yan Zhou's birthday, she still can't stop herself from taking a knife for him. While she lies unconscious, however, he never comes to see her, not even once.

When Zhao Zhirou wakes from her coma, she comes to her senses. If even her humble love, low as dust, cannot warm that heart of stone, why should she keep humiliating herself?

She is Princess Qing'an, beloved by the emperor, born of noble blood. She's beautiful, she's rich, and she has men to choose from. Why hang herself from a single tree?

Zhao Zhirou changes her formerly obsequious attitude and announces in front of everyone, "This princess is divorcing her husband."

Everyone is stunned. The usually reserved and cool gentleman Yan Zhou not only drops his wine cup, but his face darkens as well.

"Your Highness should grow up. Stop throwing a childish tantrum."

Later, Zhao Zhirou throws the divorce papers in front of him, but Yan Zhou refuses to accept them. He doesn't care who is watching. Casting off his usual cool indifference, he pursues Zhao Zhirou relentlessly.

The young woman's tenderness and love have become a taste he can't get enough of, something he longs for day and night. How could he ever forget?

The gentleman Yan Zhou abandons restraint and propriety, pins the young woman to the bed, and murmurs with tender obsession, "Zhizhi, since you've stirred my heart, you have to take responsibility forever."

Zhao Zhirou's heart is as still as water, her eyes full of indifference. "I don't love you anymore."

Later still, Yan Zhou becomes as humble as dust. Just as she once did for him, he tries to please her and begs her, unable to pull himself free from his feelings for her.

Yet he watches her find a new love and climb to the top of a tall building. The young woman who once had eyes only for him never looks at him again.

People lament that Yan Zhou, the jade-like gentleman who once made a name for himself throughout the capital, the cool and reserved paragon, has fallen from his pedestal and become an ordinary man tormented by love.
