[Light court intrigue / marriage first, love later / play within a play / slow-burn romance with plenty of push and pull] A haughty, aloof beauty with a soft heart × a dissolute playboy with a deep mind [Clear South Commandery Princess] × [Young Marquis of the Luo Residence] Luo Rong, the young marquis known as “the Capital’s Handsomest Man,” was in truth a thoroughly dissolute playboy. Not only was she a good-for-nothing, she also spent every day frequenting the brothels. Rumor had it that, despite her youth, she suffered from a hidden ailment… Yet even with her reputation in tatters, Yin Qiuhan, the commandery princess most favored by the emperor after the princesses, took the initiative and asked to marry Luo Rong. The princess had remained unmarried for years, and few people had ever seen her face. People in the martial world speculated that she must be ugly and too ashamed to show herself. And now she had set her sights on the young marquis, the Capital’s Handsomest Man… · On their wedding night, Luo Rong lifted the red veil, revealing a face of peerless, breathtaking beauty. What talk of ugliness? She was clearly a stunning beauty. Luo Rong curled her lips in satisfaction, her playboy manner returning. She lifted Yin Qiuhan’s chin and leaned down, stopping just an inch from her red lips. “Your Highness is truly a rare beauty. Looking at you makes your husband… feel quite restless. It’s a shame that I…” Her lewd words did not change Yin Qiuhan’s expression in the slightest. Instead, she raised a hand, hooked it around Luo Rong’s neck, and pulled her closer. A teasing smile suddenly appeared on her icy face. She said, “That’s all right. Then I shall… help you with your treatment…” · After the wedding, outsiders saw the young marquis reform her dissolute ways. The princess and her wife seemed perfectly harmonious and deeply in love. One day, the two went out together. When people learned their identities, they were even more astonished by their immortal-like beauty. Men admired them, women adored them, and everyone said theirs must be a rare and blessed match. But everyone saw only the surface and could not fathom what lay beneath. Only the two of them knew that this enviable marriage was nothing more than a product of political maneuvering and the struggle for power at court. Every move in pursuit of their interests was free of even the slightest affection. Once the larger plan was complete, they would have to divorce. Beneath the facade of a loving couple, the two schemed against each other in secret every day. In this perfectly orchestrated performance of deceit, who would be the first to take it seriously? Both are virgins. The princess falls in love first. As usual, a happy ending. Set in a fictional historical world with many invented details. The writing is average, so please don’t scrutinize it too closely. If it’s not to your taste, please be kind. Thank you. The princess is four years older. 20231021.
