[Reckless Noblewoman vs. Fake Sickly Green Tea, Truly Unhinged Prince]

1.

Jiang Wancen, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Changning Marquis's household and the Jin Dynasty's most notorious young noblewoman, was the only non-imperial princess in the court from the day she was born. She committed every kind of outrageous deed, was despised by everyone, and had no marriage prospects.

The emperor's seventh prince enjoyed the highest honors, but he was a weak, foolish invalid who could neither lift nor carry anything. No one dared marry him.

One day, the notorious young noblewoman took the initiative to ask for the foolish seventh prince to marry into the Changning Marquis's household, becoming a laughingstock.

The Jin Dynasty was home to many folk organizations. Among them, the Thousand Note Pavilion and the Arcane Secrets Palace fought one another, each holding half the power.

The Thousand Note Pavilion was a mysterious organization of assassins that punished the wicked and upheld justice. It was said that its leader was a fearsome monster with three heads and six arms.

The Arcane Secrets Palace was an all-purpose source of intelligence, thriving on profit. It was said that its leader was a bewitching, feminine woman.

One day, Jiang Wancen went to a brothel on business and happened upon her sickly husband being bullied. Her face turned ashen with anger. What kind of nonsense was this?!

Later, when danger struck, Gu Baizhou used his frail body to shield her. "My dear, I can only protect you with my life."

2.

From the day he was born, Gu Baizhou was raised like a dog by the people in the palace. He kept a low profile while founding the Arcane Secrets Palace, all the while intent on seizing power and claiming the throne.

To achieve his goals, he would rather kill ten thousand innocents than let a single target escape.

To him, the woman bestowed upon him in marriage was no more than a useless burden. And useless burdens had to die.

Who could have guessed that the useless woman would foolishly stand in front of him with her delicate, frail body, her starry eyes brimming with conviction? "With me here, you don't have to be afraid!"

Gu Baizhou humored her and slowly played along. But when his identity was exposed, the useless woman who had left him a letter of divorce transformed into a fine, close-woven net.

And he became the prey trapped within it, unable to escape his fate.

***If you cast me aside like a worn-out shoe, then drive a dagger into my chest. Let my flesh and blood sever my longing, and set you free."

Coming soon: The Face-Blind Fake Heiress Seduced the Wrong Man

[A sweet little romance, with light political intrigue]

Face-blind heroine vs. color-blind hero

Sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside heroine vs. wickedly charming hero

[Marriage first, love later + loving rivals]

Xie Yunfei, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Minister of War, was gentle and virtuous, yet her mother never favored her.

She often wondered whether she was really her mother's child, since she was the only face-blind person in the family.

As it turned out,

she really was a fake.

When the real heiress returned home and reclaimed her rightful place, the fake heiress still had one last use: a political marriage.

Her mother insisted that she marry the illegitimate son of the Duke of Ying's household, but she refused.

If she had to marry, it could only be the heir of the Duke of Ying, the man who had saved her life.

At the spring banquet, she showered the duke's heir with attention, only to find that he was interested in her, too.

They exchanged tokens and pledged themselves to each other.

Li Huaijing was the Prince of Jin in the Southern Dynasty. Though virtuous and talented, he was surrounded by wolves, so he presented himself as a man who cared only for wine and women. With his maternal family in decline, he needed to win people's support, so he chose the eldest legitimate daughter of the Grand General of the South to be his wife.

He had a secret: he couldn't tell red from green.

When he first arrived in the capital, people at the spring banquet repeatedly reminded him: Your Highness, the woman in the bright red dress is the Grand General of the South's legitimate daughter. Remember, the woman in green is the daughter of the Xie family, your enemy.

He had assumed he would have to work hard to win his beloved, but she turned out to be very forward.

Even better.

Then Xie Yunfei and Li Huaijing happily joined hands and asked the emperor to grant their marriage.

When the imperial decree arrived, both their expressions changed.

Xie Yayi: "How are you the Prince of Jin?"

Li Huaijing: "Damn it, why is it you?"

After marriage, the danger level of Xie Yunfei's life shot up.

For instance, a flowerpot fell from the sky while she was walking along a flat road.

Or a wooden bridge collapsed while she was enjoying the lotus flowers.

Or the side hall where she was staying caught fire.

So, by instinct, she decided it was time to pay someone to murder her husband.

When assassins attacked, she made a token effort to shield him, only for Li Huaijing to yank her in front of him.

"The Princess Consort loves me most. I'm truly overwhelmed by her affection."
