[Coming in June | Sweet Romance After Marriage]
The emperor decreed that the Shen family’s legitimate daughter marry Prince Rui, but the prince was bedridden with illness, and his heir had already been appointed. The Shen family’s eldest daughter absolutely refused to marry him.
So the Shen family offered a generous dowry to coax their second daughter, Shen Yan, into marrying him instead.
When Shen Yan saw how lavish the dowry was, she figured that once Prince Rui died, the heir would inherit his title and she would become the Dowager Princess. Could there be a better deal? She was in!
After the wedding, there were no parents-in-law to serve, no concubines to deal with, and her sickly husband didn’t meddle in anything. Shen Yan couldn’t have been happier!
Seeing Prince Rui grow weaker by the day, Shen Yan decided to show him a little "end-of-life care," occasionally giving him medicine and making him pastries.
She also took it upon herself to teach the badly behaved young heir. The little brat would have to support her one day, so what if he squandered the family fortune?
Through all the chaos, or rather, peaceful and harmonious days, Shen Yan waited for the imperial decree naming her Dowager Princess.
But she waited and waited until her belly grew big. Her sickly husband still hadn’t died, and was now arguing with the young heir about whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl.
Looking at the lively father and son, Shen Yan put a hand on her belly and sighed at the sky. "Who on earth said Prince Rui was dying? Pay me back!"
*The young heir is not the male lead’s son.
