[Marriage first, love later / Substitute bride / Simple, sweet romance]
A frail, poison-savvy, talented noblewoman with a cool exterior and a warm heart x a foolish, unhinged prince who says one thing but means another
Shen Changxiu should have had a carefree life, with plenty of money and leisure. Instead, this peerlessly beautiful woman takes her sister's place as a bride and becomes the unlucky wife of a prince!
In name, he is the military governor of the sixteen prefectures of Hedong. In reality, his troops are puppets, and he could be killed at any moment.
Everyone thinks that once Shen Changxiu marries him, the brutal soldiers will violate her and she'll die a violent death in the prince's residence.
But after the wedding, what they see is the unlucky prince staging a coup and seizing power, skinning and stuffing the leader of the soldiers.
Shen Changxiu stands at his side, nestled in his arms, dressed in finery and radiant with grace.
One night, Zhang Zhuqing comes across a novel that's become a sensation in Hedong. It tells of his glorious and mighty exploits in battle and governance.
Zhang Zhuqing: "My lady, you wrote a novel based on me. Does that mean you've been in love with me all along?"
Shen Changxiu glances at him from the corner of her eye, smiling sweetly. "You tell me."

Zhang Zhuqing lost his family when he was nine. From childhood, the soldiers' leader treated him like a dog or a pig, trampling him at will.
He thought there was nothing left in his life but revenge.
Until one day, he climbed over a wall and saw a young woman rescuing a cat beneath an apricot tree.
Light suddenly broke into his dark world.
"I am Zhang Zhuqing, military governor of Hedong." He gave her one of his little finger bones, his gaze burning. "Please, you must marry me."
From then on, he protected her, doted on her, and made her his favorite.
Whatever she disliked, he got rid of.
Whatever she liked, whether a star in the sky or a pearl from the ocean depths, he would bring it to her with ease.
Anything, except letting her leave him.

To keep sharpening the knife and chopping firewood, "The Paranoid Lord" has been suspended for two days. The author would like to review the outline~ I beg you all not to abandon me~
Does he need a rabies vaccine (?° ???°)?
It's beautiful, I feel like it's another treasured article, I'm looking forward to it.
"Brother-in-law" caught a big bug for the author~ He must be brother-in-law
"Blood" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ shoes
"And" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ extremely
It's good to watch, but it's a pity that there can't be a sequel.
I would like to ask the author if there will be any extras?
She is clear about grievances, decisive and good at using poison, and she is pretty. What kind of fairy sister is she?
The male protagonist's bones? It's a bit miserable... Laughing to death
