By imperial decree, Anlai County Princess Meng Suisui is to marry Xiao Changfeng, heir to the Marquis of Pingxi.
Meng Suisui was stunned when she received the decree, close to tears.
There was only one reason: when the murderous Xiao Changfeng first arrived in the capital, she had taken advantage of the emperor’s favor and offended him terribly.
She had enjoyed teasing him so much back then. Now she regretted it just as much!
Her food-loving best friend took out every bit of silver she had saved and thrust it into Meng Suisui’s hands, telling her to run away that very night.
Thinking of her little brother, who was still tiny as a radish, Meng Suisui shook her head miserably. “No, my brother’s legs are too short. He can’t run fast.”
He was her only family. Even if he was still a little radish, she couldn’t abandon him.
Her best friend, who had only just learned a few clumsy moves, declared boldly, “Don’t worry. I’ll go kill him for you, and then you won’t have to marry him.”
Watching her best friend wave a sword around and nearly poke her, Meng Suisui gave up hope completely.
To keep her best friend from meeting an untimely end, she might as well get married!
Before the wedding, she crammed on every military strategy she could find. She refused to believe she couldn’t outsmart a mere martial artist.
On their wedding day, Xiao Changfeng lifted the curtain of the bridal sedan. His bride-to-be was holding a copy of The Thirty-Six Stratagems and watching him warily.
He glanced at the page and asked teasingly, “My lady, which stratagem are you planning to use against me today?”
He had expected her to come crying and beg him to call off the wedding. He never imagined she would have already planned out their life together after marriage.
