I have plenty of chapters stockpiled, update regularly, and won't abandon this story. Rolling around and begging for follows~~
Coming soon in my neighboring column: Qianlong Is Still So Devoted Today (A Qing Dynasty Transmigration)
[She plays the pig to eat the tiger, a princess of a fallen kingdom x a scheming regent who holds power over the court]
Top tale on Wu's list of strange happenings: The crown prince has become a live-in son-in-law, while a prince born to a concubine has become a "secondary consort." The two have been married off to Great Jin.
Blurb One:
Jiang Yuan was the only daughter of Great Jin's ruler. With snow-white skin and flower-like beauty, she was kind and generous to others, yet she was especially cold and harsh to the "little mute," the prince born to a concubine from Wu.
In her previous life, on the eve of her wedding, someone plunged a sword through Jiang Yuan's abdomen, and she died in the Hall of Floating Life. A raging fire burned for seven days. Her father died, her kingdom fell, and the palace of Great Jin was reduced to nothing overnight.
Reborn, she returned to the night before her wedding. She watched the crown prince, who had always been close to her, draw his sword and kill a woman who looked nine-tenths like her. Someone covered Jiang Yuan's mouth and nose and hid her in the rafters, allowing her to escape by a hair.
For the next five years, the people of Great Jin were treated like pigs and dogs, bound and sold in the markets. Jiang Yuan blended in among them, selling herself into a household and lying low, all to win a little favor from the little mute she had once treated so coldly. She would use his help to avenge her family and kingdom.
Since childhood, she had wanted to protect someone, simply because his life seemed so pitiful.
But she gradually discovered that the truth was not what it seemed...
Blurb Two:
Gu Beichen, a prince born to a concubine of the King of Wu, was widely considered an easy-to-manipulate little mute. No one expected that one day he would speak.
In his previous life, Gu Beichen died pierced by a thousand arrows while guarding a corpse.
Reborn, he plotted at every turn and stopped at nothing. He became the feared regent, all so he could rise to high office and protect the person he wanted to keep safe.
He kept having the same dream: the person in his arms turned into a cold corpse, and he held her, unable to cry out.
The world said he was aloof and noble, and had no interest in women.
But when Gu Beichen looked at the woman before him, a sudden dissatisfaction stirred in him. He bent down and bit her shoulder, refusing to let go. Only when the sweet, metallic taste of blood filled his mouth did he finally feel at ease.
The little mute from his previous life: I'll take her away, no matter whether we live or die.
The reborn Gu Beichen: As long as she lives, what do I care about the rest of the world?
**
Gu Beichen: Everyone else calls me Your Highness. Why do you alone call me husband?
Jiang Yuan: Your Highness stands above everyone, so it must be terribly lonely. If I call you husband, would you feel that someone is by your side, and that you aren't so alone?
