[Blurb]

When Mu Yu returned to the capital at sixteen, she had only just reunited with her birth parents. Her family claimed to "feel sorry" for her after all those years spent wandering outside, so they specially handed her the emperor's decree arranging her marriage to Xie Chengyun, Prince of Nan'an. Mu Yu gladly accepted, unaware that everyone around her kept looking at her as if she were a lamb headed for slaughter. The people of the capital were truly impossible to figure out.

Prince Xie Chengyun of Nan'an had received another imperial marriage decree. Last year it was the Duke's daughter who threw herself into a lake; the year before, the Minister's daughter who fled beyond the frontier. Which death-defying woman would it be this year?

He never expected this lamb for the slaughter to grin foolishly at him. Was something wrong with her head?

Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Xie Chengyun was cruel, savage, and bloodthirsty. They called him the Living King of Hell of the Southern Border. Rumor had it he had no interest in women, and not a single woman in his manor had survived more than three days. Every one of them had died horribly, missing limbs or with her eyes gouged out. Minister Mu had offended the prince not long ago, so the fate of the Mu family's daughter was easy to guess.

Three days after the wedding, the Mu family's daughter was beaming, with all her limbs intact.

Everyone was in an uproar. That demon had actually smiled. Had they imagined it?

Three months after the wedding, the Mu family's daughter's complexion had improved, and she was always seen at the prince's side.

Everyone was stunned. That demon was actually acting coy. Somehow, that seemed even scarier than watching him cut people down!

[Little Scene]

Mu Yu: "Your Highness, would you teach me to paint?"

Xie Chengyun gently took hold of the hand holding her brush. "Would you like to paint a cat or a dog?"

Official A: "I have heard Your Highness is highly skilled at painting. Would you be willing to demonstrate?"

Xie Chengyun glanced over sharply. "I wouldn't mind draining your blood to use as ink."

Mu Yu: "Your Highness, would you teach me to ride a horse?"

Xie Chengyun lifted her onto the saddle and wrapped his arms around her.

Official B: "I have heard Your Highness is highly skilled at riding. Would you be willing to demonstrate?"

Xie Chengyun's gaze turned cold. "I wouldn't mind using you as a horse and giving you a few lashes first."

Pei Yin was beautiful, with skin like ice and bones like jade, yet she was merely the neglected eldest legitimate daughter of the Anyang Marquis household. Her mother died when she was young, so she grew up in the family of her maternal grandfather, who had practiced medicine for generations.

An imperial marriage decree summoned Pei Yin back to the capital, solely so she could take another woman's place and marry the violent, arrogant Prince Ling.

He Yunian, Prince Ling, had won countless battles and was a renowned war god of the Great Yu dynasty. But after a battle in the north, he was struck by a strange poison. Rumor had it that he had to live by drinking blood, and whenever the poison flared up, he killed anyone he saw. No one dared go near him.

Everyone said the young girl who married Prince Ling would be lucky to have a corpse left behind.

On their wedding night, Prince Ling's poison flared up. To his surprise, the delicate, timid young woman was able to suppress the deadly poison in his body.

Prince Ling gripped a blade, his blood-red eyes fixed on her. "Not a word about my poison getting out. Otherwise..."

Before he could finish, Pei Yin hurriedly waved her hands. "If I can cure Your Highness, could I ask for a letter of divorce?"

"Agreed."

Pei Yin diligently cared for Prince Ling every day, hoping to cure him as soon as possible so she could ask for a letter of divorce and leave unscathed.

As Prince Ling grew healthier by the day, Pei Yin began to feel that the way he looked at her was getting increasingly strange.

Later, after the poison in Prince Ling's body had been completely eliminated, Pei Yin found an opportunity after taking his pulse one day and asked carefully, "Your Highness has recovered. About what you promised me..."

Prince Ling's gaze deepened. He caught her slender wrist and pulled her into his arms, his voice low and hoarse. "Ah Yin, are you already thinking of leaving?"

Pei Yin QAQ: "A prince of your stature, breaking your word!"

Prince Ling: ...Getting called out hurts more than the poison ever did.

[Little Scene]

Everyone in Prince Ling's manor knew he had three dislikes:

He disliked seeing doctors, disliked taking medicine, and especially disliked women getting close to him.

But later, the servants discovered that the prince not only sought out the princess consort every day to ask about his health, but also came up with new excuses each day to ask her for medicine.

Everyone in the manor: ???

One snowy day, the princess consort caught a chill and gave a small cough. In full view of everyone, Prince Ling, usually so aloof and cold, silently tucked her hands inside his clothes. "Are you still cold?"

Everyone in the manor: !!!

Message: Keep your kind, innocent heart, and you will find happiness in the end.
