A stunning beauty who's both high-maintenance and mischievous x A beautiful, sickly, tragic powerhouse
Jiang Lingwan is renowned throughout Shengjing for her exceptional beauty. With her prestigious family and the love of her father and brothers, she's always been seen as one of life's winners.
But after her father and brothers are framed and killed on the battlefield, she is branded the daughter of a traitor. The once-revered beauty of the capital is trampled into the dust, and everyone wants to take advantage of her. Just when she's in despair, she's granted in marriage to Prince Xuanyang, whose fate is even worse than hers.
All so she can bear an heir for Prince Xuanyang.
Lu Zhiheng, Prince Xuanyang, is gloomy and vicious, a cruel man who likes to turn beauties into human-skin lanterns. Yet he's frail, and has been said to be unlikely to live past thirty. Every day, he's either coughing up blood or fainting, a picture-perfect sickly beauty.
On the first day Jiang Lingwan enters the prince's residence, Lu Zhiheng holds a delicate lantern and smiles at her ominously. "You're so beautiful. You'd make the prettiest lantern in the residence."
On their wedding night, Lu Zhiheng spits blood all over the floor and leans weakly against the bed rail. Annoyed by the sound of her sobbing, he clicks his tongue and says menacingly, "Stop crying, or I'll turn you into a lantern."
The young woman, eyes red, struggles to hold back her tears.
The usually vicious man awkwardly softens his voice. "I'm not going to die."
Later, Lu Zhiheng is unconscious for a month. When he wakes, the first thing he sees is his clothes half-open, his chest exposed, with Jiang Lingwan lying on it, eyes brimming with tears as she looks at him pitifully.
Jiang Lingwan: I saved you. Please don't turn me into a lantern, okay?
Lu Zhiheng's Adam's apple bobs. "...Fine."
