I Married a Sickly Man to Escape an Arranged Marriage

The companion serial, The Mad Prince's Everyday Indulgence, is a sweet story about falling in love after marriage!

The upcoming book, Doting on the Foolish Empress, is another sweet little story.

About this book:

Everyone in the capital knows that the Zhang family's daughter is engaged to the newly influential Tan family.

Many noblewomen from wealthier families than the Zhangs make sour remarks...

"Hmph, as if she's worthy. If the Tan family hadn't been so insignificant back then, they never would have married into the Zhang family."

"Oh, I wonder who started that rumor. They say it wasn't Zhang Huijiao who was engaged to the Tan family, but some daughter born to a concubine."

As Zhang Miao, the daughter of a concubine, hides in her room preparing for her wedding, she receives some devastating news...

She angrily bites through the thread in her hand, grabs the pair of new men's socks she just made, and rushes out...

Tan San coughs twice, his face deathly pale, and sinks unsteadily into a chair. Suddenly, he sees a girl with red-rimmed eyes charging toward him.

She tosses the socks in her arms.

"Just tell me: are you marrying me, or am I marrying you? Pick one! No other options."

Tan San: ...

"Cough, cough, cough... I'll cough, cough, cough, marry you."

Looking at the man who seemed liable to cough himself to death at any moment, Zhang Miao's eyes redden again.

"I'll propose tomorrow and marry you the day after!"

A beautiful young woman who's equally at home entertaining guests and working in the kitchen vs. a sickly man who's sweet on the outside, cunning within, and absurdly strong

Formerly titled A Few Things About My Fiance's Uncle

Synopsis of the ongoing serial The Mad Prince's Everyday Indulgence:

Li Yu transmigrates and learns as soon as she opens her eyes that she's been sent here for a political marriage, with two princes to choose from!

The Sixth Prince is extravagant and treats human life as worthless. Who knows how many concubines and maids have died in his residence?

The Crown Prince is refined and low-key, and there are no rumors of concubines in his residence.

Li Yu: Do I even need to choose?!

Then, on the very first day after she confidently moves into the Crown Prince's residence, the Crown Prince, rumored to be polite and taciturn, grabs her by the throat.

Li Yu: ???

Completely dumbfounded, Li Yu stares at him in terror. "I-I'm the Princess of Daliang..."

"So what?" The Crown Prince's eyes are bloodshot with murderous intent, and a careless smile plays on his lips.

Li Yu finally remembers the rumor: Ever since the Empress died, the Crown Prince's personality has changed. He's moody and bloodthirsty, and kills without hesitation!

She was tricked. He's a lunatic who wouldn't blink at killing someone!

To stay alive, she works up her courage and proposes an alliance to the Crown Prince.

Li Yu: "I-I am willing to work with Your Highness. Once you ascend the throne, we'll each marry someone else and stay out of each other's affairs."

With clear, beautiful eyes and a lotus-like face, her slender waist looks delicate beneath the lamplight. Her timid yet forced composure makes her look like an innocent fawn that's been frightened out of its wits.

The Crown Prince narrows his eyes, then slowly releases his grip. "Good."

With her life spared, Li Yu begins to keep her mouth shut.

To preserve her quality of life, she starts asking after his health every day.

Today she brings him food, tomorrow a painting. She tries all sorts of ways to keep him happy, even offering him her beloved wine.

The guards watch in terror as the drunken princess clings to the Crown Prince, waiting for him to toss her aside. They wait and wait, until the Crown Prince lowers his head and drinks the wine pressed to his lips.

The guards: Has the sun risen in the west?!

Li Yu doesn't know if the sun has risen in the west. All she knows is that her life keeps getting more comfortable.

When Li Mingxuan finally ascends to the highest position in the land, Li Yu thinks her work is done. She happily packs her little bundle and waits, only for the Empress's coronation ceremony to arrive...?

Before the phoenix-patterned bed curtains, Li Yu stares at him in disbelief.

"You promised you'd give me a divorce after you became emperor."

Li Mingxuan narrows his eyes with a crazed smile, gripping her delicate chin and staring deep into her eyes.

"The Crown Prince promised you that. I'm the Emperor, and you'll be my Empress for the rest of your life."
