For some reason, the seventh prince of the Great Xing Kingdom, Sikong Yao, arranged for himself to fall into a coma. The Imperial Physician diagnosed him as unlikely ever to wake up.
His mother, Consort Dowager Wei, didn't want to arrange a ghost marriage for her son, who had never officially wed, so she found him a princess consort while he still had a breath in him.
Yan Nian'er, the legitimate daughter of the current Chancellor, abandoned years ago, agreed to marry into the prince's manor to save her mother. There, she was to care for Sikong Yao, who seemed unconscious and unable to move.
From feeding him water and meals to wiping him down and massaging him, and then...
Thinking he was merely an unconscious patient, Yan Nian'er swallowed her discomfort and dutifully did everything for him.
What she didn't know was that Sikong Yao only seemed unconscious. He couldn't move his body, but his hearing, smell, sense of touch, and every other sense were all working just fine.
And then the prince lost it.
"Hey! Where do you think you're touching, you dead woman?"
"You dare take off my clothes? You're asking to die!"
"What? My pants? Stop!"
Later, an assassin who came to the prince's manor to kill him took a liking to Yan Nian'er, who was lying beside him.
Sikong Yao: "You dare flirt with my wife right in front of me? You're asking for death!"
Later still, Sikong Yao finally woke up, only to discover that Yan Nian'er had been sent away by Consort Dowager Wei.
Sikong Yao: "How dare she send away my wife when I don't even know what she looks like! This is outrageous!"
And later still, Sikong Yao finally tracked down Yan Nian'er, only to learn that she'd been rescued by the assassin who'd flirted with her, and that he'd kept her by his side. Worse yet, when Yan Nian'er saw Sikong Yao, who'd gone to great lengths to find them, she thought he was in love with the assassin.
Sikong Yao: "..."
With no other choice, he began a three-person relationship.
They say that when three people walk together, one of them can be your teacher.
But for these three, it was more like: when three people are together, let's see who's the best actor!
After a series of outrageous maneuvers, Sikong Yao finally brought Yan Nian'er back to the prince's manor.
Consort Dowager Wei: "Nian'er, if you can cure A Yao of his preference for men, I'll let you go."
Consort Dowager Wei: "Nian'er, has A Yao... consummated your marriage?"
Yan Nian'er shook her head.
Consort Dowager Wei: "Then he still isn't cured."
Meanwhile, when the woman he loved willingly began to undress, the prince worried that if his "condition" were cured, Yan Nian'er would leave him. So he could only take cold baths in silence.
1. The male lead is scheming, with a bit of a rogue's charm.
2. The female lead is cool and reserved, speaks little, and is intelligent. She's only slow to understand romantic feelings between men and women.
3. The story is told from both the male and female leads' perspectives.
Coming soon: The Male Ghost Wants to Bear Children for the General. Blurb:
From the female lead's perspective:
Ye Wanyan was originally the Chancellor's daughter. She listened to slander and married the Crown Prince, only to bring ruin upon her family. In her utter despair, she obtained a magical art that let her summon a fierce ghost to possess her. In exchange for using her body, the ghost would fulfill her final wish.
Ye Wanyan had only one wish: a man named Rong Xin. She wanted the fierce ghost to possess her, love him, care for him, and bear his children.
Meanwhile, a fierce ghost who'd spent more than a hundred years in the underworld was forced to possess her. But after a century as a ghost, he'd even forgotten how to be human, so how could he possibly be a woman?
From the male lead's perspective:
Rong Xin was a first-rank general of the Xize Kingdom. Then he suddenly realized that the person he'd always treated like a younger sister had changed her tastes and her behavior, and was now doing everything she could to get into his bed!
Rong Xin: What is going on?
The strangest part was... her intentions were way too obvious, and her moves were way too clumsy!
But later...
Rong Xin: "Wanyan, do you love me?"
Ye Wanyan: "I do."
Rong Xin: Why does something still feel off?
The general begins to grow anxious and insecure...
Reader notes:
1. The female lead has a man's soul in a woman's body, and has always been female-bodied. Based on her physical sex, this story is categorized as romance.
2. The female lead never consummated her marriage to the Crown Prince, so neither lead has had a sexual partner.
3. The story is told from both leads' perspectives, with more from the male lead's.
4. On the battlefield, the male lead is a stern, iron-blooded general. In daily life, he's a gentle, courteous gentleman. Around the person he loves, though, he's a naive young man, a bumbling fool, and a bit of an adorable airhead.
5. In her previous life, the female lead had a complicated past. She also spent over a hundred years serving a sentence in the underworld, so she's out of practice at being human, let alone a woman, and she's numb and unresponsive when it comes to love.
6. This is a paean to two heroes, and the story of two souls crossing a century of time to collide with one another.
Theme: What is love? It can be jealousy, or it can mean making every sacrifice for someone. No matter what form it takes, it has one thing in common: it's for you!
It's hard to explain when a vegetative person needs a catheter to defecate. It's miserable.
The copywriter laughed to death, hahahaha
