The sickly Princess Yongle's "fiance who was supposed to bring her good fortune" ran away.

Her imperial cousin, the emperor, meant to choose another husband for her to bring her good fortune.

At the matchmaking banquet, the beauty who supposedly wouldn't live past sixteen sat in the seat of honor, graceful and delicate, and turned her head to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, the Chancellor's son hurriedly shook his head. "I'm already engaged to the one I love."

The heir to the Rongyang Marquisate aired his dirty laundry. "My household is full of songbirds, and I even keep several mistresses. I don't think I'm worthy of the princess."

The young general blushed furiously. "I... I have an ailment."

Only the newly appointed top scholar seemed eager to ask for an imperial decree marrying them, but Princess Yongle stopped him with a look.

She had only half a year to live. Why drag someone else down with her?

Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief, ready to wait for death in peace.

But as the banquet neared its end, the Regent beside her set down his teacup. His phoenix eyes gleamed with a chill as he asked in a low, steely voice, "Princess, what do you think of me?"

The wedding meant to bring good fortune shook the entire city.

The Regent Xie Changyin wielded immense power. He had the face of an immortal, but a cold heart and ruthless methods, and was notorious as a bringer of bad luck.

It was said that not long ago, he had brought about the death of a woman who was engaged to him.

Everyone watched for a spectacle. What kind of good fortune was this supposed to bring? Wouldn't it just kill her outright?

Jiang Shu, forced into this marriage: ...Honestly, there's no need to go to all this trouble. I'm perfectly happy to wait for death.

Yet everyone watched in disbelief as, after they exchanged wedding papers, the bedridden Princess Yongle was able to get out of bed. On the second day of their marriage, she was radiant. A year later, she could ride and shoot arrows, and even defeated the visiting Turkic princess!

No one knew that Xie Changyin dreamed of a woman night after night. He could never make out her face, yet she had already become an obsession in his heart.

Until one day, he met Jiang Shu.

From then on, the woman in his dreams had a face.

[Bonus Scene]

When Jiang Shu felt unwell during her period, Xie Changyin would immediately bring her hot soup and soothe her with gentle words.

Whenever her illness flared up, no matter where he was, Xie Changyin would be the first to rush back.

Later, when they were alone together, Jiang Shu pricked her finger while embroidering. Xie Changyin didn't even look, simply taking her ring finger with precision and sucking away the bead of blood with his thin lips.

Jiang Shu: ? Something seems a little off.
