Reborn as the Prairie Chieftain's Bride

Xuliege'er, chief of the grassland Xuedi, is cruel and tyrannical. Leading his tribe's iron cavalry, he has never known defeat. After the Daxia court suffered a humiliating defeat, it offered the beauties of its capital as a peace settlement. In his previous life, Lin Zhaozhao was sent in place of his elder sister, who had eloped, to marry in a barbarian land. Unable to accept his fate of being subservient to another, he remained cold and distant toward Xuliege'er after their wedding, never giving him so much as a smile. Only when he lay dying in bed did he realize that the man who struck fear into the Central Plains had been awkwardly trying to accommodate and please him all along. Reborn on the day of his wedding, Lin Zhaozhao no longer tried to kill himself. He put on his phoenix wedding robe and veil, adorned himself with silver hairpins and gold ornaments, and climbed into the bridal sedan under his sister's name. The people of the capital gazed at the brutal Xuedi demon, a curved saber hanging at his waist, and lamented the beautiful bride's fate, certain she would not survive. After a bumpy journey beyond the frontier, Lin Zhaozhao lifted the brocade curtain and said in a trembling voice, “Come and receive me.” No one expected the proud, wolf-like Xuliege'er not only to obey without question and dismount to greet the bridal sedan, but also to lift the “bride” and carry him over his shoulder. With all eyes on them, Lin Zhaozhao gripped the man's braid, mortified and furious. “Barbarian, put me down.” The man tightened his arms around him and strode on, unmoved. “Quickly, don't... don't let them laugh at me.” “I'm here. No one dares laugh at you.” And indeed, whether on horseback beyond the frontier or ascending to the throne, the man never broke his word. 1.

Important things must be said three times. Coming soon: Before Returning to Humiliate the Cruel, Brooding Minister Only after Wang Yaozhi died did he learn that he was a cannon-fodder villain in a storybook. He was the idle prince entrusted with the male lead by the latter's father, a sadist with the face of Guanyin and the heart of a snake, and an inescapable nightmare from the male lead's childhood. So after the male lead used him to enter government service, the first person he schemed to kill was Wang Yaozhi. After being reborn, Wang Yaozhi escaped the storybook's constraints and returned to the day after he had been drinking and chatting merrily with an old friend. That night, the senior ministers entered the palace and never came out again. The once-imperious Xue household was implicated and its property confiscated. That was also the night the court was thrown into turmoil, as storms raged all around. Wang Yaozhi awoke, startled by thunder and lightning, and saw a handsome youth in plain robes kneeling by his bed, head bowed. “Your servant Yunu pays his respects to Lord Changyao.” Seeing the male lead, who would one day have him dismembered by five horses, Wang Yaozhi hurriedly offered him the bed, then wrapped himself in the covers and fled as far away as he could, completely missing the youth's startled, conflicted gaze... Freed from the storybook's influence, Wang Yaozhi decided to turn over a new leaf. He not only fussed over the male lead and doted on him every day, but also took great care to mind his manners, afraid of leaving him with even the slightest childhood trauma. That was, until the male lead passed the imperial examination and became top scholar. Wang Yaozhi was so happy that he drank for once, and in his drunken haze, he stumbled into the wrong room... The next morning, seeing the bed strewn with signs of passion, Wang Yaozhi hurried to get up. He was just trying to figure out how to explain himself and save his life when the pain behind him left him dumbfounded, and he sank to the floor. The youth, usually so obedient and proper, gazed at him mockingly, an inscrutable smile on his lips. “Now I finally understand what it was like for Your Highness back then.” He bent down and bit Wang Yaozhi hard on the corner of his mouth, leaving a mouthful of blood and a searing pain. “So intoxicating, so bone-deep, making you yearn for death.” In his previous life, Lord Changyao was Xue Qingyu's nightmare. This man had branded his body and soul with a mark of humiliation that could never be erased. So at first sight of Wang Yaozhi, Xue Qingyu had wanted to stab this beast in fine clothes to death. Who could have guessed that in this life, the man would not only keep his distance but even plan to marry and have children, living a happy family life? Your Highness, how dare you? Since you dragged me into this foul mire, you will never escape me for all eternity. Theme: Mutual understanding and harmony between peoples.
