The Disabled Tyrant's Substitute Groom

After failing her tribulation, the medicine cultivator Shen Zhwan transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder male supporting character who shares her name.

The supporting character's birth mother was murdered, he is frail and disfigured, yet he has been engaged to the crown prince, Yu Daoyuan, since childhood and is deeply in love with him. Every day, he looks forward to their wedding.

But everyone thinks he is unworthy of the crown prince, whose beauty is like moonlight, because half his face is covered in a deep red birthmark. Even the crown prince thinks so.

Already disliked by his family, he is also hated by the crown prince, leaving him to suffer constant bullying at home.

The crown prince dislikes him but loves Shen Zhihan, the legitimate son of the family's current matriarch and his own elder brother. The two are in love with each other.

But Shen Zhihan is engaged to Yu Keji, the Prince of Yinduan, a prince of the current dynasty.

After arriving in this world, Shen Zhwan has no interest in this melodramatic love triangle where you love him, he loves her, she loves him too, and he doesn't love you. He stays in his little courtyard and diligently cultivates, looking forward to overcoming his tribulation and ascending to immortality again.

Then one day, his cheap father tells him to switch marriage partners with Shen Zhihan: he must marry Yu Keji, the Prince of Yinduan, while Shen Zhihan will marry the crown prince, Yu Daoyuan.

In the book, the Prince of Yinduan was held hostage in an enemy country as a child and brutally tortured. His legs are disabled, his personality is cruel and twisted, and he has a tendency to go mad every so often. He is the story's greatest villain.

The nine princesses who married him before all died on their wedding nights.

Shen Zhwan slowly rolls his eyes. No wonder the original character chose to slit his wrists on his wedding day.

Looking at his wrist wrapped in white bandages and feeling the golden core rapidly circulate within him, he presses his lips together and smiles. With cultivation in hand, the world is mine. So what if I'm marrying a cripple? I'll heal you and shut everyone up, then divorce you and ascend to immortality!

Everyone is waiting to see when Shen Zhwan will be tortured to death by the Prince of Yinduan.

But no one expects Shen Zhwan not only to survive, but also to help the Prince of Yinduan stand again. The prince even becomes a tyrant, leaves his harem empty for Shen Zhwan, and dotes on him alone…

Golden rooftops, red walls and yellow tiles.

Yu Keji's sword glints in his hand. With sinister eyes fixed on Shen Zhwan, he narrows them and threatens, "I hear my beloved consort wants to divorce me?"

Shen Zhwan, bound like a dumpling by an immortal-binding rope: Who said that? I never said that (//?//)

Yu Keji: I hear my beloved consort wants to abandon me and ascend to immortality?

Shen Zhwan swallows. That's complete nonsense! A pack of lies!

The sword is tossed aside and clothes fall. After thirty rounds of battle, Shen Zhwan bites the corner of the quilt and whimpers, "Husband, please spare me QAQ"

Heavens, beauty is my downfall!
