I Married a Spoiled Brat

[Status: Complete]

[Coming soon: "My Young and Beautiful Sister-in-Law" and "Biting My Childhood Friend". Won't you check them out, dears?]

Xuan Xiuyan is the most doted-on little princess in the Later Liang Emperor's hands.

Having always been spoiled, she insists on rouge from Dongyao, refuses to wear anything but Beixiao brocade, and demands fruit rushed in from Former Chu at full gallop.

At last, the year of her wedding arrives. Just as everyone expects the emperor to arrange a prestigious marriage for her in Later Liang, he defies expectations and sends her to Southern Tang for a political marriage.

Rumor has it that the Crown Prince's eldest grandson is mature beyond his years and never shows his feelings. With her fussy, affected nature, she is bound to have a miserable married life.

Everyone is waiting to see how she'll be driven back to Later Liang.

Then, one day, the people of all five kingdoms kneel and cry out, "Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress!"

Only then do they realize that she's the real winner in life!

Before marriage, she was cherished by the Later Liang Emperor. After marriage, her husband dotes on her, and in the end, she becomes the woman who rules the realm.

Has married life really turned out to be even more carefree than before!?

At first, Tang Si thinks all he has to do after marriage is treat her like an ancestor and worship her properly.

As long as she doesn't cause trouble, they can just about get by.

Later, when Xuan Xiuyan cries and insists on going home, he panics and wishes he could give her every good thing in the world.

To keep his wife, he fights his way through every challenge and becomes ruler of all five kingdoms.

#Is the Crown Prince's eldest grandson working hard to earn money to spoil his wife today? He is, he is! It's not enough!! He can never earn enough!!! Boohoo, she spends too much#

*A sweet, after-marriage romance (slow burn, everyday life)

*An imaginary setting (Former Chu, Beixiao, Southern Tang, Later Liang, Dongyao)

That day, heavy snow fell at Qingguan Temple. Ying Niang spent the night with her fiance after taking medicine. When she woke, her fiance coaxed her, "Ying Niang, marry me."

Remembering what had happened the night before, Ying Niang blushed and agreed.

On her wedding day, the red veil was lifted. The shy bride called out, "Yulang," but the usually gentle man curled his lips into an evil smile. It took her back to that day at Qingguan Temple, when he had been just as wicked, showing no mercy as she wept and begged him to stop.

She was frightened. "Yulang..."

Just then, the door swung open from the outside, and two identical faces appeared before her without a hint of shame.

The man inside laughed. "How can you not recognize your own man, sister-in-law?"

-

Not long after Ying Niang married into the Shi family, her husband died. The people in town all called her a jinx, and her family wanted nothing to do with her from then on.

On the day of the funeral, she cried herself unconscious. When she woke, she was lying in the bridal chamber. Seeing a familiar figure, she cried out with delight, "Yulang?"

The man smiled at her. "Sister-in-law, you got it wrong again."

Later, she finally remembered the misunderstanding from that night at Qingguan Temple.

The man smiled and brushed away the tear at the corner of her eye. "Sister-in-law, don't mistake me for someone else again."

-

Shi Zhang was born a bad seed. In the eyes of everyone in Qinghe, he was inferior to his older brother, Shi Yu, in every way. He was like a weed, and no one cared whether he lived or died.

So from childhood, he had one thought in mind: He would take everything Shi Yu had!

But he couldn't understand why, when he'd already taken those things, everyone still only cared about Shi Yu. Why did they all want to get away from him?

That night, blood stained half of his pale face red. He approached Ying Niang step by step, knife in hand and a sinister look in his eyes. "All of Qinghe belongs to me. You belong to me, too. Where do you think you can run..."

P.S. The heroine does not sleep with the older brother (the second male lead), so there are no ethical issues concerning a sexual relationship.

-----Coming soon: "Biting My Childhood Friend"-----

In the capital, two families are very close.

One family has a tomboyish girl who loves climbing over the wall and getting into mischief.

Her name is Chen Jiaojiao.

The other family has a spoiled young master whose teachers all say he's a hopeless case.

His name is Li Yunze.

When the two reach the age to marry, their families start looking for suitable matches for them.

Chen Jiaojiao's requirement is: refined and gentle.

Li Yunze scoffs, "Please, stop going out and ruining perfectly good boys' lives!"

Li Yunze's requirement is: gentle and sweet.

Chen Jiaojiao rolls her eyes. "Let's see which girl is unlucky enough to fall for you!"

In truth, each already has someone in mind, and it just so happens to be the other's closest friend. So they start scheming.

How about we help each other out?

The two hit it off and begin teaching each other how to win over their crushes, with a little practical training now and then.

One day, in the Chen family's back garden,

Li Yunze puts an arm around Chen Jiaojiao's slender waist and laughs. "Why are you hiding?!"

Chen Jiaojiao stubbornly insists, "I'm not!"

Li Yunze licks his lower lip as he looks at her. "You can't be this shy!"

The parents of both families happen to see this scene, and they hit it off, too.

Li's mother: Since the children like each other so much, let's go over and propose on an auspicious day.

Chen's mother: Then we'll get the dowry ready.

Even after being ushered into the bridal chamber, the two still haven't figured out what on earth is going on.

Everyone else: I knew those two had something going on!

Later, on their wedding night,

Li Yunze takes her hand. "How about we just go along with it... and consummate the marriage?"

Then he kisses her. Childhood-friend plum juice really is so sweet.
