Transmigrated as the Crown Prince's Wife in Exile

My other story, The Prince's Pampered Wife, is already underway. It's a marriage-first, love-later story.

A male lead who is a good cook and a supportive homemaker & a female lead who's a local tyrant

Gu Xiyue gets into a car accident on her way to the company to take over the family business. When she wakes up, she's become the eldest daughter of a Duke's household.

The eldest daughter takes her second younger sister's place and marries the Crown Prince, becoming the Crown Princess. Before Gu Xiyue can enjoy the privileges of being Crown Princess, she discovers that the Crown Prince has already been deposed. Worse still, the former Crown Prince is exiled to the Southern Wilderness and forbidden to return to the capital without a summons!

The Southern Wilderness is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on the fourth. A row of mud-walled houses with thatched roofs is home to several hundred people. The only fields are carved out of the mountainside, and they're miserably barren. No family's harvest for the year is enough to feed them. Even survival is a struggle.

The eldest daughter had dreamed of one day becoming the mother of the nation, only to end up in this state. In despair, she loses the will to live and takes her own life with a white silk sash less than three days after arriving at her place of exile.

When Gu Xiyue wakes up, she's struggling to pull the white sash down with both hands, ready to slip her head into it, while the wooden stool beneath her wobbles.

Panicked, she jumps down.

No matter the circumstances, taking her own life has never been an option in her dictionary.

Neither has waiting to die.

The conditions may be a little rough and supplies scarce, but give her some time and she'll make sure she has a good life with plenty to eat and wear.

The court favors civil officials over military officers; in the Southern Wilderness, civil and military affairs are given equal weight.

The court suppresses merchants; in the Southern Wilderness, commerce is strongly encouraged.

A few years later, the desolate Southern Wilderness becomes a major commercial hub and establishes trade relations with multiple nations, astonishing the imperial court.

Later, the court, its treasury drained, sends an imperial summons ordering Xiao Heng to return and resolve the economic crisis. Xiao Heng is reclining by the seaside, enjoying a sunbath with a beauty in his arms.

He asks the person in his arms what she thinks.

Gu Xiyue keeps her eyes closed and says lightly, "All the merchants and skilled artisans have come here. Why would you go back? Let those scholars and officials who despise merchants save the country."

After Gu Xiyun is reborn, she recalls what happened in her previous life. She understands that if her older sister hadn't stolen her beloved Xiao Heng, he wouldn't have raised an army a few years later and eventually become a tyrant.

She thinks everything Xiao Heng did was because of her.

In this life, she will save him and absolutely won't let him go down the same path.

An infrastructure-building and farming story

One-on-one. Xiao Heng only loves the heroine.

The dynasty and everything else are fictional, with countless personal headcanons.

Everything serves the plot.

The Prince's Pampered Wife

Shen Mo falls into the water during a temple fair and is rescued in full view of the public by Xiao Chengjin, the most notorious playboy prince in Qingyang City. Someone submits a petition to the court, and soon an imperial edict granting them marriage arrives at breakneck speed.

A girl from a humble family has married into the Qingyang prince's household, and the whole city is in an uproar. Everyone agrees that no matter how wild the Qingyang prince usually is, Shen Mo has struck it lucky by marrying him.

On their wedding night, Xiao Chengjin solemnly makes an agreement with her. Their marriage was forced by circumstance. As long as she behaves herself, he'll divorce her in two years and give her enough money to ensure she can live comfortably for the rest of her life.

Shen Mo nods and agrees without the slightest hesitation.

After the wedding, Xiao Chengjin rarely returns to the residence, while Shen Mo stays in her courtyard, living her own quiet life.

Xiao Chengjin is tall and handsome, with an imposing presence. Countless noblewomen would love to marry him.

He had no plans to marry. His frequent carousing and roaming around various venues were for another purpose. In two years, he would have to return to the capital to be punished, and he truly didn't want to hold Shen Mo back.

He'd planned to muddle through like this and set her free after two years.

But then, one time while drinking with Shen Mo, she let the truth slip: "That day at the temple fair, I had arranged to run away with someone..."

The candlelight flickers on and off. Xiao Chengjin's heart rises and falls with it, until one thought rings through his mind.

She wants to elope with someone...
