The Auspicious Bride Only Wants to Become a Widow

A scheming sickly prince x a sweet, well-behaved little princess consort

One day, an imperial decree orders the legitimate daughter of the Chen Duke's residence in the capital to marry into Prince Lin's residence.

The whole city is in an uproar. Everyone knows that Prince Lin is the seventh prince, born to the empress, and of the highest nobility. Unfortunately, he suffers from a strange illness and has a violent, unpredictable temperament. He is no suitable match.

It's called an imperial marriage decree, but in truth, she's being sent to bring him good luck!

What a pity that such a young beauty will soon be widowed.

To keep his beloved daughter from becoming a widow, the Duke of Chen searches through the night for Chen Xiangyi, whom he abandoned in the countryside years ago, and sends her to Prince Lin's residence.

On the wedding day, the bride is switched.

Chen Xiangyi is exposed on the spot, and her heart leaps into her throat.

It's over. She won't even get the chance to become a widow.

The Chen Duke's residence has committed the serious crimes of switching the bride and deceiving the emperor. Everyone waits for the sickly prince to fly into a rage and wipe out the entire Chen family.

But after a long wait, no signs of violence come from Prince Lin's residence. Instead, they keep seeing His Highness Prince Lin, who used to be bedridden and cough every few steps, take his new princess consort out every day to enjoy themselves.

Everyone is astounded. Could this good-luck marriage actually have worked?

Having heard that Prince Lin is near death and might not live to see the new year, Chen Xiangyi has already prepared herself to become a widow. She only has to wait for Song Beilin to kick the bucket, then she'll petition to return to Jiangnan.

So she carefully waits on him every day, treating each one as the last day before Song Beilin kicks the bucket.

But day after day, Song Beilin's health doesn't deteriorate. It actually gets better, and even his tongue is sharper than hers.

"Xiangyi, I'm thirsty. Pour me some water."

"Xiangyi, my back aches. Give me a massage."

"Xiangyi, I want to go boating on the lake. Come with me."

If she ignores him, he only raises his voice louder and louder. Chen Xiangyi gives him a cold look. "Your Highness, don't you have legs?"

Song Beilin, who was full of energy just last night and stayed up all night, smiles. "I'm frail."
