The second young master of the Duke's household, Jiang Tian, is suave, charming, and peerlessly handsome, but he spends his nights among flowers and willows and is frail and sickly. Luckily, his family has arranged a good marriage for him.
On his wedding night, Young Master Jiang lifts the bridal veil and finds not a beautiful bride underneath, but Prince Jing, who is wanted across the country for treason.
Jiang Tian: ...Where's my bride?
Prince Jing: Pretend, or I'll kill you.
·
Jiang Tian has no choice but to play along, acting like a loving husband and hoping to get this murderous living demon away from him as soon as possible.
When Prince Jing is in trouble, Jiang Tian steps in to save him. When Prince Jing is in danger, he draws his sword to take the blow. When Prince Jing is suspected, he covers for him at every turn.
From then on, all Prince Jing can see is that frail figure, coughing up blood every day, yet willing to risk everything, sword in hand, to protect him.
·
Later, Prince Jing wipes out all his rivals and ascends the throne. Jiang Tian makes a run for it in the middle of the night, only to be caught, bound hand and foot, and brought before the new emperor.
Jiang Tian: I played along until the end. Why did you arrest me?!
New Emperor: I wasn't pretending. Husband, were you?
Jiang Tian: Cough... (Even being sickly was an act ×)
Suave, charming, and everyone's dream guy, a fake-sickly shou x a haughty beauty gong who excels at cross-dressing
Everyday-life story, marriage first and love later
Coming soon: The Emperor's Substitute for His Moonlight
The second young lady of the Duke's household, Lin, has been made empress by the emperor.
Rumors in the capital say Empress Lin looks exactly like the emperor's moonlight. Though peerlessly beautiful, she's just a pitiful substitute, a canary in a gilded cage. The emperor has imprisoned her in the palace, keeping her as nothing more than a plaything.
Empress Lin herself doesn't mind at all, spending every day as a carefree slacker. She only has to be careful not to let the famously cruel emperor discover two things:
First, she's a man pretending to be a woman.
Second, the greatest swordsman under heaven, Shen Hanyan, is her secret identity. He has offended the entire court and even once struck the emperor with his sword.
.
Until one day, Empress Lin accidentally damages one of the emperor's old bracelets.
The usually vicious, brutal emperor cradles the shabby old bracelet, eyes nearly dripping blood, and punishes him by making him kneel and confining him to the cold palace.
Shen Hanyan: Wasn't this just some cheap trinket I casually handed out to my fans back then? I gave away loads of these...
.
