The Crown Princess's Daily Antics of Tormenting the Crown Prince

In her previous life, Qin Yuanxi was frail and sickly, unable to do anything. Then, overnight, her soul transmigrated into the body of a crown princess about to be married.

At long last, she was free, so she sneaked out under cover of darkness. But while climbing over a wall, she fell flat on her face. When she looked up, she saw the ice-cold Crown Prince Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao: "The Crown Princess certainly seems to be enjoying herself."

Qin Yuanxi made an excuse. "The moon is lovely tonight."

No sooner had she spoken than torrential rain began to fall.

The two of them: ...

Qin Yuanxi thought the Crown Prince's perpetually cold expression was a little scary, but that didn't stop her from admiring his handsome, graceful appearance.

Of course, it would be nice if he were mute.

Looking at Qin Yuanxi, covered in mud, Ye Zhao said, "Give the Crown Princess a bath. Attend to her personally, and don't let her drown."

Qin Yuanxi: "I'm not very lucky..."

Ye Zhao: "Your brain isn't very good."

Qin Yuanxi: "..."

Qin Yuanxi protested, "I want to go out. You can't keep me locked up."

Ye Zhao: "Who are you planning to torment now?"

She huffed. "So tormenting you is okay?"

Ye Zhao: "...Yes."

Everyone knew Qin Yuanxi was a jinx. She was an indispensable topic of gossip over tea in the capital, and people often saw the Crown Princess making the Crown Prince look utterly disheveled. Rumors even spread that he would tire of her and divorce her.

At the time, Qin Yuanxi was confined to the Crown Prince's residence. When Ye Zhao arrived, she immediately flopped onto the bed and pretended to be dead.

Ye Zhao stood silently in the doorway for a long while before giving in and agreeing to her demands.

The supposedly neglected Crown Princess immediately called for a maid to help her get dressed, then hurried out of the residence without even looking at the Crown Prince.

The servants were terrified, afraid the inconsiderate Crown Princess would get them into trouble. They wanted to speak, but hesitated.

Ye Zhao, however, said nothing and deigned to follow behind Qin Yuanxi.

Only when Qin Yuanxi excitedly climbed into a small sedan chair did Ye Zhao silently pull her back out. Ignoring the Crown Princess's flailing, he stuffed her into his own sedan chair and told the servants, "Set off."

Coming soon: The Substitute Bride and the General with a Secret Ailment

An imperial decree betrothed the young lady of the Zhao family to Xie Tongyan.

The Zhao family's ancestors had once served as chancellors, but none of the family had held office for several generations.

Xie Tongyan had been on the battlefield since childhood. Though he had been made a general, he was of humble origins and had sustained a secret ailment in battle. Most civil officials and scholars looked down on him.

The Zhao family was no exception. Marrying their daughter to Xie Tongyan was no different from humiliating her.

Civil officials and military officers despised each other, and Xie Tongyan forbade scholars from coming within half a step of the general's residence. Anyone who did so would be responsible for their own life or death.

If Miss Zhao married into the general's residence, she would surely meet a tragic end.

In the end, Miss Zhao did marry into the general's residence. Everyone said the bride wouldn't survive a day, but to their surprise, not only did she live, she lived in great comfort.

Zhao Lingyao transmigrated into this world as an amnesiac orphan. This desperately poor orphan was being hunted, and by a twist of fate, she took the place of a noble young lady from the capital and married Xie Tongyan, a man with a terrible reputation.

Because Xie Tongyan disliked the Zhao family, he didn't even come on their wedding night.

Zhao Lingyao breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps he really did have a secret ailment, and it made sense that he didn't seek her out. She thought they would continue to leave each other in peace, but then Xie Tongyan began to doubt her identity and test her in all sorts of ways.

Zhao Lingyao had a sudden idea and asked curiously, "Husband, I heard you have a secret ailment?"

Xie Tongyan's eye twitched. His icy expression finally shifted, though his smile was anything but warm. "Why don't you find out for yourself, Madam?"

After that day, he had something more important to do than test Zhao Lingyao: prove through firsthand experience that he was in excellent health.
