The emperor of the Feng Dynasty suddenly falls gravely ill and dies overnight.

With the royal bloodline dwindling, the "Second Prince" Mo Yinbai, who has been raised as a boy since childhood, is pushed onto the throne.

New to the throne, Mo Yinbai is cautious and careful in everything she does.

On the night of her fifteenth birthday, after the banquet ends, she sits alone in a pavilion in the imperial garden and unwittingly drinks a cup of oddly flavored wine.

The wine quickly goes to her head, and she passes out drunk. When she wakes, her head is pounding, and she keeps hearing someone talking beside her.

At court, the ministers argue endlessly in the Golden Hall. Her headache only gets worse.

Amid the clamor and bickering, a cold, irritated voice suddenly rings out:

"This is so annoying. They argue all day long. When is court going to end? I haven't even had breakfast!"

Mo Yinbai's gaze sweeps over the ministers before finally landing on the Regent.

The Regent senses her gaze and looks up to meet it.

Then Mo Yinbai hears him say, "Why is His Majesty looking at me? I won't break up the fight. When will court end? I'm still waiting to go eat breakfast."

Mo Yinbai: "...?"

One day, Yuwen Yi enters the palace to report on official business. As he steps into the imperial study, he sees Mo Yinbai holding a little black dog and talking to it.

She says something, and the little dog barks twice. They seem to be having a conversation.

Yuwen Yi stops in his tracks. Is His Majesty talking to a dog? Is she all right?!

Mo Yinbai is chatting excitedly with the little black dog when she looks up and sees Yuwen Yi standing nearby, staring at her in astonishment.

She freezes, then gives an awkward smile.

Yuwen Yi clears his throat twice. "Your Majesty, shall I summon the imperial physician?"

Mo Yinbai: "..."

Upcoming novel: Chang'an Heir's Wife. Please add it to your reading list!

The wife of the Minister of Justice saves the Changyang Grand Princess at a temple when the latter suffers a sudden asthma attack.

The Changyang Grand Princess visits her to express her gratitude and brings along an imperial edict arranging a marriage between the Chang'an Prince's household and the Minister of Justice's household.

Rumor has it that Xu Xuanyu, heir to the Chang'an Prince, is sinister and terrifying. He oversees the prisons, is ruthless in his methods, decisive in action, and cold-hearted. Even dogs are afraid of him and run the other way.

As a result, he is over twenty-five and still unmarried.

The Minister of Justice's second daughter already has someone she loves. When she hears the news, she cries, throws a fit, and threatens to hang herself. The third daughter is not yet of age, so she pretends to be a fool at home. The two sisters raise such a ruckus that the household is turned upside down. Neither is willing to marry into the Chang'an household.

But how can anyone refuse an imperial marriage decree?

In the end, the match falls to the Minister of Justice's eldest daughter, Shi Jinxin.

Shi Jinxin's mother died when she was young, and she was raised by her grandmother, spending her childhood secluded deep within the household. The moment she finally steps beyond those secluded quarters, she's sent to the bridal sedan and married into the Chang'an Prince's household.

On their wedding night, Xu Xuanyu approaches the bridal chamber. Before he can open the door, he hears a series of thuds from inside.

He opens it and sees Shi Jinxin, dressed in her wedding clothes, cracking walnuts with a hammer and eating them.

Their eyes meet, and the air falls silent.

Shi Jinxin's cheeks are puffed out. After chewing a little, she offers Xu Xuanyu a cracked walnut. "Want one?"

Xu Xuanyu: "..."

--

After spending some time with her, Xu Xuanyu decides his heir's wife is a little white rabbit: beautiful as a painting when quiet, docile and obedient.

Shi Jinxin isn't afraid of him. Whenever he speaks to her, she always responds.

As they spend more time together, Xu Xuanyu begins to think she's quite nice, unlike other women.

One day, while out on business, Xu Xuanyu spots Shi Jinxin strolling along the street and notices someone picking a fight with her.

He is about to step in when he sees Shi Jinxin kick the other person flying two zhang away.

Then Xu Xuanyu feels the whole world around him go quiet.

His heir's wife... really is one of a kind.

Upcoming novel: Sui Sui. Please add it to your reading list!

↓↓

Jiang Sui and Fu Linxiao's marriage was arranged by their elders.

Their betrothal was decided before they were born. Neither of them had a choice.

They seem like childhood sweethearts, always getting along amiably, but in truth, neither can stand the other.

Jiang Sui thinks Fu Linxiao is cold and never smiles. He's nothing like the refined and gracious Young Master Yuan.

Fu Linxiao thinks Jiang Sui is always lazy and never takes anything seriously. She's nothing like the gentle, virtuous Miss Li.

When other people are around, they speak to each other politely.

When they're alone, they trade cutting remarks and take turns poking at each other's sore spots.

Then one day, bandits appear in the suburbs of the capital and kidnap Jiang Sui while she is on her way to a temple to pray for blessings with a friend.

Fu Linxiao, who usually takes everything in stride, suddenly seems to go mad. He grabs his sword, mounts his horse, and races after them, killing several bandits before bringing Jiang Sui back.

He is wounded too.

Jiang Sui's eyes turn red as she cleans his wounds, tears streaming down her face.

Fu Linxiao says, "Don't cry. I'm no good at comforting you."

Jiang Sui snorts. "Who asked you to comfort me? I'll comfort myself!"

Fu Linxiao pauses, then bursts out laughing.

Jiang Sui furrows her brows and glares at him. "...What are you laughing at?"

Fu Linxiao raises a brow. "Are you what I'm laughing at?"

Jiang Sui: "...Fu Linxiao!!"

--

Later, during the Qixi Festival, lovers in the capital carve matching locks for their beloveds, asking the Matchmaker to bless them with a happy union.

Holding a carving knife, Jiang Sui's hands tremble. "Fu Linxiao, your name has way too many strokes! My hand's about to fall off from carving it!"

At home, Fu Linxiao suddenly sneezes. "Achoo!"

Huh? Who's cursing me?
