Word has it that Lu Chuanhan, the young marquis of the Suyuan Marquis Manor, has fallen for Miss Liu and is pestering his father to go ask for her hand in marriage.
On their wedding night, the young marquis howls in agony as crashes and bangs ring out from the bridal chamber.
The next day, he emerges from the room with a face bruised purple and blue.
-
The Liu family has a pair of twin beauties. The elder sister, Liu Feiluan, is well-read, sensible, gentle, and virtuous. The younger sister, Liu Feixu, has studied under a master since childhood and roamed the martial world with her. She has a willful nature and remarkable martial skills.
On the day people from the Suyuan Marquis Manor come to propose, Liu Feixu happens to return home. She hears that the young marquis wants to force her sister, who already has someone she loves, into marriage, and volunteers to marry into the marquis's household in her sister's place.
On the wedding day, the young marquis of the Suyuan Marquis Manor lifts the red veil and realizes that the bride isn't the woman he wanted. He flies into a rage, but before he can fully unleash it, Liu Feixu takes him down and gives him a thorough beating.
The dazed young marquis clutches his face and glares at Liu Feixu. "Who are you? You're not the woman I wanted to marry! Your Liu family actually dared to send me a fake bride. You'll pay for this!"
Liu Feixu arches a brow, smiling sweetly. "The Liu family has two daughters, Young Marquis. You never said which one you wanted to marry."
"..."
She smiles and pats his cheek, her eyes full of hidden amusement. "Husband, if you don't behave from now on, your wife will break your legs."
-
After his wedding, the notorious young playboy of the Suyuan Marquis Manor starts behaving himself. He sticks to his place, stops visiting pleasure houses with his "bad influences," and never dares go west when his wife says east.
Lu Chuanhan has grievances he can't voice.
One day, he can't take it any longer and runs to his mother to complain.
To his surprise, his mother takes Liu Feixu's side at every turn. "My son, your wife is gentle and considerate, and she knows how to manage the household. What bad intentions could she possibly have? Don't talk nonsense!"
Lu Chuanhan chuckles. "That's right. What bad intentions could my wife possibly have? She only wants to beat me to death with every justification on her side."

In the second year after transmigrating into the body of a princess of the Yun Kingdom, Xiao Mucen sees the Yun Kingdom lose a war against the Shang Kingdom. The Yun Kingdom cedes three cities and a hundred li of land, and Xiao Mucen, the emperor's legitimate daughter, is sent to the Shang Kingdom as a hostage.
Xiao Mucen, Princess Zhaojin of the Yun Kingdom, is breathtakingly beautiful, but she was born blind.
The day Xiao Mucen enters the imperial palace of the Shang Kingdom, torrential rain pours down. It rains nonstop for seven whole days, flooding large parts of the palace that have never flooded before and ruining many precious objects. The palace servants of the Shang Kingdom spread rumors that she is a bringer of bad luck.
Taking pity on the blind girl, the Empress Dowager of the Shang Kingdom grants her a small courtyard, but forbids her from setting foot outside without an express summons.
-
Li Yunjing, Crown Prince of the Shang Kingdom, is decisive and deeply calculating. An accident in his childhood left his face disfigured, with a scar running from his right eyebrow to behind his ear. He is known as the "Asura Crown Prince."
The people of the Shang Kingdom say that Crown Prince Li Yunjing is mercurial, has no interest in women, and remains unmarried even past the age of twenty-five. Some say no woman would marry him because he is ugly, while others claim he prefers men.
On the Empress Dowager's birthday, Xiao Mucen attends the palace banquet with a narrow strip of white silk covering her eyes. Dressed in a simple, pale pink outfit, she looks out of place among the carefully adorned daughters of noble families, yet she also stands out.
Halfway through the banquet, Xiao Mucen uses her poor health as an excuse to leave early. But as she exits the palace hall where the birthday banquet is being held, she bumps into someone.
She quickly apologizes, neither servile nor arrogant, her voice gentle. "I'm sorry."
The man looks down at her and replies in a low voice, "It's all right."
-
A few days later, rumors spread through the palace that Crown Prince Li Yunjing has taken a liking to the blind hostage princess from the Yun Kingdom. He keeps visiting her courtyard, bringing her delicious food, beautiful clothes, and new toys, lavishing her with affection.
In the third year of Xiao Mucen's captivity, the Yun and Shang Kingdoms go to war again, and the border suffers heavy losses. The emperor of the Shang Kingdom has no choice but to send Xiao Mucen back to the Yun Kingdom in hopes of reaching a peace agreement.
The day Xiao Mucen leaves the capital of the Shang Kingdom, torrential rain falls once more.
Li Yunjing stands outside her carriage, holding her hand tightly through the window. "Wait for me. I will come marry you."
"Three years," Xiao Mucen says, her voice as gentle as ever. "If you don't come, I'll marry someone else."
"All right. It's a promise."
Within three years, I will bring you back to the Shang Kingdom as my bride!
