After My Proxy Marriage, I Found Out My Spouse Was a Proxy Groom

A cool-headed, self-possessed demon prince shou who keeps his heart untouched by mortal feelings x a seemingly hedonistic and unruly human prince gong who is actually shrewd and calculating

Bai Xi, courtesy name Qingchuan, is a prince of the demon clan with phoenix blood. Lately, he has two things on his mind:

First, the demon and human clans have enjoyed a hundred years of peace, but several strange incidents have occurred recently. Every step of his investigation has been met with obstacles.

Second, to strengthen their century-old alliance, the human emperor has proposed a political marriage with the demon clan. The intended groom is...

Bai Xi looked up at his cousin, who was half a head taller and crying his eyes out, then sighed. "What did you do today?"

His cousin: "...I had someone spread the rumor that I'm impotent."

Bai Xi: "..."

The demon clan truly has a once-in-a-generation genius like you.

It wasn't just the demon clan. Before half a day had passed since the marriage was announced, word got out that the human prince set to marry into the demon clan had contracted syphilis.

Bai Xi, upon hearing the news: ...How are there two idiots like this?

With no other choice, Bai Xi gave in to his cousin and decided to take his place in the marriage, so he could see whether the prince was a decent person.

But when the veil was lifted, the face before him wasn't that of his intended. It was the human crown prince.

The human crown prince: "What a coincidence."

Bai Xi kept a blank expression and tightened his grip on the dagger. "It's no coincidence. I'm here to kill you."

"Isn't it a little inappropriate to murder your husband on your wedding night?"

"I like being a widower."

-

Bai Xi had never gotten along with Gu Lan. The man was good-looking, but his personality was that of a spoiled playboy. He was the crown prince, yet he carried on without restraint and had no manners.

So after they married, Bai Xi spent every night thinking about how he might kill his husband.

But before he could put his plan into action, Gu Lan's courtyard caught fire.

Bai Xi looked at Gu Lan standing outside with his bedding in hand, then shut the door in his face. "I'm heartless. I don't take in refugees."

Gu Lan: "We're married."

"Die tonight and make my wish to be a widower come true."

Gu Lan: "...?"

Notes:

1. One-on-one romance.

2. Both leads are equally strong.

3. A double stand-in romance, marriage before love, and strategists falling in love.

4. A serious tale of the strange and supernatural.

5. A bickering couple who are always at odds. I really want to write a story where you and I both end up marrying because the other forced us into it.
