My Blind Husband Is the Emperor

Ying Bao'er was reborn. In her previous life, she was a concubine-born daughter who refused to marry in place of her legitimate elder sister. She was given as a concubine to a wastrel, wantonly abused and discarded like a worn-out shoe, and eventually died in agony.

This time, just as expected, an imperial decree arrived, arranging her marriage to a prince. Everyone knew that the prince had once been as refined and radiant as a bright star, but after losing his sight, he became moody, irritable, world-weary, and impossible to approach.

Watching her unwilling elder sister fake tears until her eyes turned red, she smiled softly. "I'll marry him in your place!"

On their wedding night, her impossibly handsome husband laid down three stern rules: She was to know her place and harbor no improper thoughts!

Ying Bao'er obediently agreed. Her husband might be blind, but he was a pleasure to look at, and she didn't have to flatter him on purpose. She was very satisfied.

After they married, she once happened upon the prince wandering alone at night, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him. She treated him gently, until one night she accidentally opened her eyes and saw the prince beside her bed, holding her hand against his face, as tenderly as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

She had never intended to compete for anything, yet somehow everything became entangled in the struggle. Caught in the princes' fight for the throne, Ying Bao'er was secretly harmed and lost her voice, then became separated from the prince. By the time she finally managed to return to his side, his eyesight had been cured, he had become the emperor, and he was about to make her elder sister empress.

Ying Bao'er felt wronged: I have things I can't say, and you have eyes but can't see.

The imperial family turned on itself, and Ling Xiao was framed and blinded. With no desire to live, he became sensitive and fragile, prone to mood swings, and ignored his little wife, literally.

Unexpectedly, his new bride was content with what she had. She put the rundown prince's residence in order and filled it with life, awakening his deadened heart. Only then did Ling Xiao realize that someone could truly care for him.

When he finally became emperor, he planned to solemnly welcome his empress. But behind him, a mute young woman looked at him pitifully, leaving him restless.
