After a Political Marriage in Place of the Bride, I Became Everyone's Favorite

Ruan Jiu's diary of surviving a political marriage in place of someone else:

Third day of the fifth month: I married the king of the Aowu tribe on the grasslands in my brother's place. Their people are so tall and strong.

Fourth day: Met two consorts. Both are taller than me. Whatever, let's play cards. Fun knows no borders.

Fifth day: Played cards.

Sixth day: Played cards.

Seventh day: Ruan Jiu, Ruan Jiu, you can't keep playing cards. Starting tomorrow, fight for the king's favor.

Eighth day: The king's here. Better switch to mahjong... The king is only thirteen, Ruan Jiu. Hold on to your moral principles!

Ninth day: The king insisted I watch him practice swordplay. I lost at cards, so I have to honor the bet.

Tenth day: The king wants to learn Han Chinese.

Eleventh day: The king wants to leave the palace.

Five years later

Fifth day of the seventh month: The king got drunk at his coming-of-age ceremony and touched my hand. Forgave him like a loving father x1.

Sixth day: The king got drunk again and kissed me. Forgave him x2.

Eighth day: You dog of an emperor! I will never forgive you! Unforgivable! (Bangs on the bedframe.)

· The harem is just for show, and was forced on the king when he was little. The two consorts like Ruan Jiu more than they like him.

· A sunny, resilient consort who makes the best of a political marriage × a barbarian king who's a puppy early on and a wolfdog later.

· Age gap, size difference, and skin-tone difference.

It's not easy for us to meet, so enjoy the story and don't get worked up.

If this one isn't for you, pick another. It's like playing a game.

Both the pursuer and the pursued are my treasures. It's not easy watching them grow.

I love my readers, and my readers love me. I've done my best to write properly.
