Completed novel: The Beloved Substitute Bride. A marriage first, love later, face-slapping, and irresistible romance. Come give it a try!
Only when she died did Shen Kou learn that she was the scheming supporting villainess in a book.
The heroine was the daughter of a duke's house, the pure white moonlight in Prince Mu Jiang Che's heart. After her family was convicted, she was banished to the frontier. Shen Kou took advantage of the opening, using her resemblance to the heroine to cling desperately to Prince Mu. She willingly played the part of a substitute, all for the position of princess consort.
Later, the duke's family was restored to favor, and the heroine returned to the capital in a blaze of glory, the center of everyone's attention.
Naturally, her substitute was cast aside like a worn-out shoe. Heartbroken, she threw herself into a lake and died.
Reborn in the past, Shen Kou thought back on her previous life and could only feel a headache coming on.
Had she been cursed or something?
What was there to miss about a cold, sinister bastard like Jiang Che?
Let someone else fight over the position of princess consort. They could beat each other bloody for all she cared. Wouldn't it be better to live a quiet life at home?
But little by little, she realized that something seemed off about Jiang Che.
*
Prince Mu Jiang Che was handsome and distinguished, his sharp edge kept under wraps. With an iron fist, he made his way through the battlefield and the imperial court, decisive and unstoppable. He had never let anyone control him.
But lately, someone else held his life in their hands.
A girl named Shen Kou.
If he went three days without seeing her, he was plagued by nightmares and couldn't sleep all night. Whenever they met, sealed memories would come tumbling back, making his head and heart ache.
To stay alive and find out why, Jiang Che swallowed his pride and began doing everything he could to get close to her...
1. A bastard's desperate quest to win back his wife.
2. The male lead actually has no white moonlight. He's equally at home in the court and the kitchen, a straight-laced bachelor of twenty years who needs some guidance, and a potential doting husband.
Going premium on Wednesday, February 3. Please keep supporting me!
[Little Scene]
Deep snow blanketed the prince's residence in winter, turning everything silver-white.
After finishing his official business, Jiang Che went to the kitchen and made Shen Kou's favorite crispy fried whitebait. He brought it to her piping hot, hoping to cheer her up.
From a distance, he saw her sitting by the lake, wrapped in a cloak, slender and beautiful.
In that instant, memories suddenly came rushing back.
A snowstorm had raged through the capital as he returned in triumph at the head of his troops, still clad in armor.
The young woman leapt into the icy lake, heartbroken and resolute.
He had rushed frantically to save her, but all he could bring back was her cold body.
Only then did he understand:
The person before him was the one in his heart.
The one he cared about most had always been by his side.
The pain struck without warning, and Jiang Che stumbled.
He walked over and dropped to one knee at her feet. His brows knitted tightly with pain, and his eyes held a trace of red. "I'll make you anything you want to eat. Please don't sulk anymore, all right?"
#At first, he kept her by his side to stay alive.
#Later, he cherished her like a little empress, going to war for her and cooking for her, and he did it all willingly, with joy in his heart.
Pre-release novel: My Husband Usurped the Throne After I Became His Substitute Bride
Xie Ting, Prince of Fenyang, was the only non-imperial prince in Great Yan. He inherited his title as a young man, commanded his iron cavalry across the land, and was famous throughout the realm. But his ruthless methods and arrogant, cold nature had earned him a mixed reputation at court.
A Yan traveled thousands of miles north to marry this cold-blooded general.
And she was being forced to take her sister's place.
On their wedding night, with candlelight flickering, the man looked at her impassively when the wedding fan was moved aside. When he realized the bride was an impostor standing in for his bride-to-be, he showed no reaction. He simply claimed to be drunk and went to sleep in his study.
A Yan understood. He had probably only married to fulfill an order, with no intention of making her anything more than a prop.
So she dutifully played her part, taking good care of him and hoping that when Xie Ting fell for someone else, he would show her some kindness and give her a divorce letter so she could return to her family.
She waited and waited.
But no divorce letter came. Instead, Xie Ting marched on the capital, seized the imperial seal, and sent word for her to return and become empress.
A Yan was stunned.
[Little Scene]
At first, just after their wedding, this was what Xie Ting said:
"I married by imperial decree only to dispel the royal family's suspicions. Though Miss Chu is beautiful, she is young and immature, and far from what I want. For now, let her live in comfort and honor. Later, find her a suitable place to go. Just make sure she isn't mistreated."
He had seemed cold and desireless, as though he had no interest in the woman at his side.
Later, beneath warm spring screens and soft lotus-patterned curtains,
when she said she wanted to leave, Xie Ting tightened his arms around her slender waist, almost grinding his teeth.
"Say the word divorce again. I dare you."
A Yan lowered her eyes, her voice quiet and aggrieved. "You were the one who said all that back then."
Xie Ting: ...
He had practically slapped himself in the face. It hurt.
A marriage first, love later. Face-slapping and irresistible romance. One-on-one.
Premise: Follow your heart and become a better version of yourself.
