When Ji Xiaoran first met Shen Yi, she wasn't called Ji Xiaoran yet.

On a bustling street, a strangely dressed little girl tugged on Shen Yi's sleeve, grinning slyly. "Young husband, want your fortune told?"

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow, looking disdainful. "You little brat, what are you calling me that for? And what could you possibly tell fortunes about?"

"Your future prospects."

When Ji Xiaoran married into the Shen family, there were still many things she didn't understand.

Beneath the red gauze bed curtains, Shen Yi held the little girl's hand, his eyes full of desire.

Ji Xiaoran panicked a little, and the first thing out of her mouth was, "Y-young husband, do you want your fortune told?"

Shen Yi's lips curled as he leaned over her. "I do!"

"W-what do you want to know?"

"Whether the heavens have destined us to be together."

She said: When I was little, Master would always recite, "An immortal strokes my head, and I receive eternal life with my hair tied up."

He said: "Eternal life can wait. I want you."

My next novel: "The Side Consort Takes the World by Storm"

A beautiful, unhinged prince * a clever, seemingly innocent commandery princess

From the nobility to the common folk, everyone in the capital loved to gossip about Prince Rui.

"This is outrageous! The prince is disgracing his ancestors and their teachings!"

"Did Prince Rui smash the Empress Dowager's colored-glass golden vase today?"

"Did you hear? Prince Rui broke the young master of the Qin family's leg on Anchang Street today!"

"A few days ago, two beauties were carried out of Prince Rui's residence. Tsk, those gorgeous faces were left utterly disfigured!"

Before long, rumors began to circulate in private that it wouldn't be long before the emperor stripped the prince of his title...

At the time, Yun Ran gazed at the First Madam with a meek expression. After she finished speaking, Yun Ran lowered her eyes and picked at the handkerchief in her hands.

"Shahe understands. Mother, please don't worry."

The moment the First Madam had left, Yun Ran flopped onto the chaise lounge without a care for appearances and ate the pears Xiao Tao had brought her.

"Your Highness, Prince Rui's residence is a den of wolves and tigers. The Empress Dowager's decree has ordered you to marry into the family, and as a mere side consort, too. Is this your future, or... or are they sending you to your death?!"

Her half-closed eyes slowly opened. She glanced at Xiao Tao's indignant face and smiled. There was not a trace of the innocent, harmless girl she pretended to be in front of others.

Being a side consort was great! She wouldn't have to manage the household, just live in luxury. And Prince Rui was handsome and rich. Before the emperor really stripped him of his title, she could use his reputation to plan a bright future for herself.

Prince Rui: Mother, didn't you choose a virtuous, refined, and well-read side consort for me?

Empress Dowager Dejia: Shahe is one of the most gentle and refined young noblewomen in the capital.

Prince Rui: Is Mother going blind, or did I marry a fake commandery princess...

Shahe: Your Highness, will you come again tomorrow?

Theme: To hold your hand and grow old together
