The Taoist Princess

Yun Ran was a young Taoist nun. She spent her days growing vegetables, copying scriptures, and drawing talismans. Her life was peaceful and carefree. One day, dozens of ornate carriages stopped outside her shabby little temple. Yun Ran: A big customer! She gave the elegantly dressed woman at the front a sweet, professional smile. “Madam, would you like to buy a talisman? They're great for keeping you safe and protecting your home. Buy three and I'll throw in a longevity charm!” The woman in fine clothes gazed at her with tearful eyes. “My poor child, you must have suffered so much.” - The lost daughter of the Marquis of Changxin had been found! The little girl was as cute as a doll, with a sweet little mouth. She quickly became the apple of everyone's eye at the marquis's estate. At a palace banquet, she caught the Empress Dowager's attention, who wanted her as a daughter-in-law and promised her to Prince Jing. Prince Jing, the living King of Hell whose fate spelled doom for everyone around him, and who had already outlived three fiancées? The Marchioness of Changxin rolled her eyes and fainted. - When word reached him that his mother had arranged yet another marriage, Sima Jing was against it. He never expected that the young heiress of the marquis's estate would actually survive long enough to become his bride. On their wedding night, Sima Jing pushed open the bedroom door and was immediately hit in the face with talisman paper. A little hand reached up to touch his face. The girl gazed up at him with clear eyes and an awkward, ingratiating smile. “Sorry, I forgot to close the window. The wind was so strong. Let me peel that off for you...” Sima Jing: “...?” - Sima Jing thought the world was rotten to the core, but his little princess consort told him it was beautiful. From then on, they shared the spring blossoms, autumn moon, summer cicadas, and winter snow. - 1.

If you're interested, check it out in my collection [An adorably oblivious beauty x a peerlessly elegant top scorer in the imperial exams] Li Jiayue had skin like ice and jade, delicate brows, and pearly teeth. She was the most honored princess in the dynasty. The little princess loved fine clothes, delicacies, and above all, beautiful men. Any beauty who caught her eye was welcomed into her household, regardless of status or background. At the Qionglin Banquet, the emperor hosted the newly appointed scholars. The little princess sat to one side, chewing on a crab as she commented, “This year's scholars (munch munch munch) are rather plain-looking (munch munch munch), nowhere near as gorgeous as the beauties (munch munch munch) in my household.” Then Pei Ji, the third-place graduate, made his entrance in a red robe, flowers pinned to his hat, with sword-straight brows and an elegant, dazzling beauty that outshone everyone else. That night, in the emperor's palace. Little Princess: “Father, I want him!! Aah, I want him!!! Him, him, him! I want him, I want him, I want him!” Emperor: “All right, all right, sweet girl. The floor is cold. Get up and tell me.” * Pei Ji had studied hard for ten years, finally passed the imperial exams, and was then chosen as the princess's consort. His colleagues all said he was lucky, blessed with two happy events at once and rising to the heavens in a single day. Thinking of Her Highness Princess Yong'an, whose household was said to hold ninety-nine peerlessly beautiful male favorites, Pei Ji sneered inwardly. On their wedding night, he was devastatingly handsome in his dazzling red wedding robes, but his voice was ice-cold. “I cannot disobey the imperial decree, but Your Highness knows I have no affection for you.” Little Princess: “All right, all right. Don't say anything yet.” Pei Ji: “...?” The little princess blinked. “You look even better when you aren't talking.” Pei Ji: “...” Was there anything in her head besides handsome men? * Three years later, at another Qionglin Banquet. Pei Ji slowly peeled a crab for the princess. “Your Highness, is he handsome?” Little Princess: “Huh?” Pei Ji: “Your eyes are practically glued to that third-place graduate's face. Why don't you call him over so you can get a closer look?” Little Princess: “Can I? o.0” Pei Ji: “:)” #Both virgins, marriage first and love later, a sweet little romance #The heroine is purely a beauty lover, adorably oblivious, and unable to look away whenever she sees someone beautiful Theme: Find joy in life's little blessings, and let love come at the right time
