After Marrying the Wrong Cousin

Blurb

After her fiance was stolen from her, Wei Yan never imagined, no matter how many possibilities she considered, that she'd end up marrying her former fiance's older brother, the heir to the princely title.

The heir is invincible, as beautiful as jade, and perfect in every way.

The only catch is that people say he's a little devil who kills without batting an eye.

Standing in Xiao Jingting's courtyard, Wei Yan thought,

What little devil? He just puts on airs. Deep down, he's a pushover!

The moment she says she wants to leave, he comes up with every possible way to coax her into staying.

He'll even carry her if she asks, and beat people up if she tells him to.

He's easier to handle than an obedient dog.

In a nutshell: After winning over my little-devil husband, I became the she-devil in his eyes!

When Gu Jinjin was six, her father brought home a child and said he was the son of a woman he'd kept outside the household several years ago.

Gu Jinjin disliked him intensely. She thought his mother had stolen her own mother's favor, and found fault with him every day.

But her elder brother was always patient and accommodating, treating her as though they were full siblings.

Gu Jinjin thought, It won't do him any good to be nice to me. I'm never going to accept him.

Gu Jinjin always felt uneasy about this brother, until one day, palace eunuchs came to take Gu Xiao away, and he was identified as the emperor's long-lost prince.

Gu Jinjin was stunned.

Gu Xiao asked if she wanted to go to the palace with him.

Gu Jinjin thought, "If I get to be a princess, sure."

But when Gu Jinjin finally got her wish and entered the palace, things were not as she'd imagined. Her royal brother had made her a princess, but at the same time, he set his sights on her.

Late at night, he seized her wrist and said,

"If you're tired of being a princess, you can be the empress. A princess has to marry away, but only the empress can remain the mistress of this palace forever.

"You'll eat, drink, and enjoy yourself, with the best food and clothes. Your only duty is to eat and sleep with me, and bear me a son."

Gu Jinjin thought: Everything else sounds fine, but sleep with him and have his child?

Gu Jinjin: I won't---.

Gu Xiao: Fine. I'll marry you off to the Marquis Wei's son, who's crippled and can barely move.

Gu Jinjin: Then... all right (weeping buckets).
