A Lifetime of Glory After the Marriage Swap

The Zai family has a granddaughter who, though stiff and dull, is the favorite of Old Master Zai. Prince Ping wants to win Old Master Zai over, so he asks to marry her.

But when Old Master Zai dies, the granddaughter of the Zai family becomes a rootless duckweed. Prince Ping casts her aside and hands her over to his good elder brother, who is destined never to inherit the throne.

The little girl is tiny and skinny, with nothing but a small bundle. She stands in front of Prince Qi, staring without blinking at the lotus pastries beside him.

Prince Qi props his chin on his hand, lazily sizing her up. Seeing her eyes fixed on the lotus pastries, he gives a scoff. Fine, I'll keep her for now.

Who knew that keeping her would turn into a lifetime? He holds her in his arms, kisses her at the slightest opportunity, and becomes so enamored that he can never bear to let her go again.

Then he'll cradle her in his palm, cherish her down to the very tips of her hair, and make sure to grind everyone who wronged her beneath his feet.

The little girl is not only a bit dim, she's also a "mute."

Prince Qi originally kept her in the Prince Qi Residence like a lucky charm, until one day he discovered that he could hear her thoughts.

He has killed someone and is covered in blood. Everyone else is terrified and keeps their distance.

Only she takes one step toward him, then another, and quietly edges up beside him. She reaches out her little hand and grabs his sleeve.

Prince Qi twirls the dagger in his fingers. Blood from the blade stains his hand. He looks down at her. Everyone else is afraid to come near me. Why did you come over?

She blinks her crystal-clear eyes and looks up at him. Good person.

Please Note:

First: The setting is fictional. The rules, customs, and culture are mostly made up, so don't nitpick!

Second: The female lead is a little dim, but she wasn't born that way. Something happened, which will be explained in the story. She should gradually improve later on. Also, she's not mute; she just doesn't want to speak. She'll talk later.

Third: If you don't like it, please just leave peacefully using the top-right corner. I hope I can write something you like next time. Muah.

Theme: You're the stupid one! You're stupid from head to toe!
