# A poor miser's sweet story of becoming a princess consort through a substitute marriage #

When Xiao Yin was young, he had a secret crush on the refined and well-mannered young lady of the Shen family.

Later, he got his wish and married her as his princess consort, believing they would live happily together in perfect harmony.

But something about the princess consort he married seemed off.

At a poetry game, he said, "Autumn winds and spring rains, I've seen every flower."

She replied, "Mountains of gold and silver, enough to spend forever."

Xiao Yin: "...How can the princess consort be so ignorant of literature? This is utterly improper!"

When it was time to go out to a banquet, the princess consort vanished in an instant.

He asked, "Where is the princess consort?"

A maid answered, holding a pile of rags and broken bottles, "The princess consort is collecting junk."

Xiao Yin: "How can the princess consort disregard her dignity? This is utterly improper!"

One night, the princess consort wanted chicken feet.

Xiao Yin, on the verge of losing his temper: "We don't eat after noon! How can you have a midnight snack? This is utterly improper!"

That very night, a thief broke into the royal residence's kitchen.

When the servants came rushing in with weapons to catch the thief, they found Xiao Yin braising chicken feet.

Servants: ...

Xiao Yin: ...

The servants cried, "The Regent braising chicken feet himself in the middle of the night? This is utterly improper!"

Ake asked herself honestly: during all the days she had been forced to take the young lady's place as princess consort, she had hardly been a model wife.

She wore only the tackiest clothes, bought only the most expensive jewelry, gambled in shady dens, and frequented brothels, but Xiao Yin didn't seem to mind at all.

She thought he must love the young lady so much that he could tolerate anything. If he ever found out that all his tenderness had been wasted on her, he would surely tear her to pieces in a fit of rage.

So the more he doted on her, the more anxious she became.

At last, when his heart and eyes were full of her, she left a divorce agreement and ran away.

From then on, the prince, who had always seemed so detached from worldly concerns, dropped his aloof and otherworldly facade, revealing his obsessive and violent nature.

Years later, when a foreign enemy invaded, the guards of the royal residence caught a suspected spy from the enemy nation and brought her before Xiao Yin.

"My lord, this woman is acting suspiciously, but she refuses to admit she's a spy."

"Oh?" Xiao Yin slowly turned around.

The moment their eyes met, the captive Ake: ...

Xiao Yin, standing there: ...

Ake gave up struggling. "Yes, yes, I'm a spy. Why don't you just kill me?"

Bonus scene:

After Xiao Yin was forced to divorce her, he never expected Ake to have a new suitor just a few months later.

He secretly swapped out the elaborate breakfast her rival had prepared for her, replacing it with scallion pancakes.

The rival eagerly lifted the lid.

Ake: ...

Rival: ???

Xiao Yin brought out the breakfast he'd prepared. "How could he do this? Eat mine, eat mine."

When the rival tried to make it up to her, Xiao Yin grabbed him by the collar:

"Is your family related to the imperial family? Do you wield great power? Are you irresistibly handsome? Have you ever lived and eaten with her? I haven't even had my turn yet, and you think someone like you can win her heart?!"

Theme: Be self-reliant and independent.
