[Blurb]

[Powerhouse, heroic heroine Yun Guang x delicate, beautiful hero Fu Qing]

On Mount Hua lived a mountain demon, ugly and violent, who declared herself king and went by the name Yun Guang.

At the foot of Mount Hua was a crown prince, beautiful and gentle, like the breeze and bright moon. His name was Fu Qing.

Fu Qing was the empress's adopted son, a pawn meant to secure her position. With wolfish brothers ahead of him and treacherous ministers behind, his life had been difficult and bitter since childhood.

One day, during Fu Qing's birthday banquet, the ministers came to offer their congratulations. An unexpected incident occurred when an assassin appeared, intent on killing him. Fu Qing stumbled about, the strong wine leaving him unable to see in the dark, and suddenly pitched forward

falling into a warm, unfamiliar embrace.

It was dark and hard to see. Fu Qing was about to leave and apologize when he looked up and saw a gaunt, sickly face.

The person was deathly pale and thin as a rake, sickly as a consumptive, but their large eyes shone brightly, glinting coldly in the night.

Fu Qing was shocked. He had never seen anyone so ugly and thought he was looking at a ghost.

The ghost lifted a hand slightly, and with a flick of its fingers, the assassin suddenly dropped dead.

Before he passed out, he vaguely heard the frail youth say, "This one's beautiful and pleases me. Carry him back. We'll be married today."

Fu Qing: ? Has anyone asked what I think?

The crown prince had been abducted, and the people of the capital went wild. Rumors raced through the streets and alleys:

This is terrible! Their beautiful, delicate Crown Prince is about to be forced into marriage by a mountain demon! The mountain demon has turned into a lecherous ghost!

Reading Guide:

1. A nontraditional story of mutual salvation. Happy ending.

2. Just a simple love story. I'll add more if I think of anything.

3. Please, please, please add it to your favorites!

[Blurb for This Novel:]

Xu Jianqing transmigrated into a background character in a novel about family intrigue and political scheming.

Family intrigue? Political scheming? She wasn't interested in any of that. She'd rather take it easy, collect some trash, and earn a little money!

Thirty copper coins a day, plus extra merit money for helping people. At first, Xu Jianqing thought she had landed in a story where the heroine could coast to victory. But why was that notorious, terrifying young general, rumored to be hideously ugly, constantly showing her affection?

-

Rumor had it the young general loved killing and was cruel and merciless. When an imperial decree of marriage arrived at the Xu household, her father couldn't bear to sacrifice his eldest or third daughter, so he had Xu Jianqing, the mad idiot no one loved, accept the decree instead.

Xu Jianqing: Getting married won't keep me from taking it easy and collecting trash, will it?

But as she went on taking it easy, how did the handsome young general, whose eyes were growing more and more ardent, come into the picture?
