The Foolish Heir's Good-Luck Bride

Liu Yuejian was a concubine-born daughter of the Liu family. Her mother died young, and no one cared for her. She was lower than the grass growing in a corner.

The Liu family sold their daughter for their own advancement. They called it a marriage, but in reality, they accepted two chests of betrothal gifts and sold her to the Duke’s household to bring good fortune to the young heir. They told her she’d better never come back.

The young heir of the Duke’s household had been mad and foolish for years. When his illness struck, he either smashed things or attacked people with a knife. Before long, he had become someone who struck fear into the hearts of the entire capital.

But Liu Yuejian, after marrying into the Duke’s household, lifted one corner of her red veil on their wedding night and caught a glimpse of him choosing to sleep on the floor rather than touch her. She thought the rumors must be wrong.

Later, to Liu Yuejian, the mad and foolish heir whom everyone despised and loathed became the kindest person in the world.

With him to protect her, she could wear the latest dresses made of snow-white satin; eat sweet lychees brought from eight hundred li away, a delicacy even imperial relatives could rarely taste; and sleep peacefully in a warm embroidered bed, something she had not managed in thirteen years.

One day, Liu Yuejian was robbed by bandits on her way back from praying at a temple. She fell from a cliff and vanished without a trace. Overnight, the young heir’s madness miraculously vanished, and he rode out alone in the dead of night, determined to find her.

Shen Mingbi was the most beloved heir of the Duke’s household. Brilliant from a young age, he could count at three and compose poetry at five. But at ten, he accidentally witnessed a shameful secret of the royal family. To protect himself, he pretended to be mad and foolish.

For eight years, he kept up the act, transforming from the capital’s elegant young master Yu Jue into a madman.

That was, until the soft, sweet, pitiful young woman married into his household and began worrying over whether he was hungry or thirsty, happy or sad.

He pretended to have an attack. Though she was terrified, she still called out sweetly, “Husband, be careful!” In that moment, all he wanted was to drop the knife in his hand and pull her into his arms.

The uncertainty over whether she was alive or dead jolted Shen Mingbi awake. He knew he had to find her.

Then he would stay by her side,

until they were a hundred years old, living without a worry in the world.
