The Disabled Crown Princess Sent to Marry and Her Homegrown Female Thief

Xue Jinghuang, Crown Princess of the Wei Kingdom, had power seized from her by her father and brothers. In a single day, she became a prisoner, had her martial arts abolished and one leg crippled, and was sent to the grasslands for a political marriage.

In despair, she planned to take her own life in prison, but a woman in disguise stopped her.

The woman said with a smile that she'd made a bet with a friend on how long Xue Jinghuang would live. To win five hundred taels of silver, she would stay by Xue Jinghuang's side and protect her.

Her name was Hu Ying, a petty thief who cared only about money.

When palace attendants mistreated Xue Jinghuang on the journey to the grasslands, Hu Ying helped her get even.

When her leg pain flared up, Hu Ying treated it for her, wearing a thoroughly reluctant expression. She complained that Xue Jinghuang was too kindhearted, then stormed off in anger, only to remember to bring her food when she returned.

With Hu Ying at her side, Xue Jinghuang gradually opened her heart, emerged from the shadow of defeat, regained her resolve, and began plotting to take back her power.

But then she discovered that there had never been any bet. The woman she had already fallen in love with had been plotting to use her and ensnare her from the very beginning...
