⭐ A black-hearted-to-white-hearted-to-black-hearted prairie princess & a seemingly aloof and delicate, but actually cold, heartless, ruthless, black-hearted princess sent as a political bride, who seduces and takes the lead
Blurb:
Dugu Lingyue was the most noble princess on the prairie. She had always been able to wheedle gifts out of the prairie queen and the Great Chanyu, and no one dared truly defy her.
Then one day, a princess from Great Liang arrived on the prairie to marry into the royal family. Lingyue happened to want a change of scene, so she went in her elder brother's place to welcome the princess from Great Liang at the border town of Mohe.
By the banks of the Mohe, she sat astride her horse and cheerfully lifted the curtain of the Great Liang princess's carriage, wanting to see what she looked like. She never expected to be dazzled by the beauty inside. She sat there stunned for a long time, unable to find a word to say.
After returning, she thought about it for a long time. The more she did, the more she wanted to see that beauty again, hear her speak, chat with her, draw close to her, kiss her... She absolutely didn't want to see her marry anyone else.
And then Dugu Lingyue realized she seemed to have fallen for her future sister-in-law.
Dugu Lingyue wanted to marry her sister-in-law, and she was sure her feelings weren't one-sided. Xin Qingyi must like her too.
Xin Qingyi would hold her hand, watch the stars with her, and sleep in the same bed, kissing her gently...
In that case, perhaps becoming the Great Chanyu of the prairie wasn't so impossible after all.
As long as she became the Great Chanyu, or the prairie heir apparent, the princess sent as a political bride would be promised to her, and she would be the one to marry her sister-in-law.
So Dugu Lingyue overcame countless hardships and finally became the Great Chanyu of the prairie, marrying Xin Qingyi just as she had hoped.
But her lover seemed even more certain than she was that things would turn out this way.
When Dugu Lingyue held Xin Qingyi and said how glad she was to have inherited the position of Great Chanyu and married her, her usually gentle, aloof, and delicate lover smiled faintly and stroked her back. "Silly girl, why worry? I love you, so of course only you could become the Great Chanyu."
Xin Qingyi was a princess from Great Liang, sent to marry into the prairie royal family.
Unlike her simple lover, who had been born on the prairie and doted on since childhood, Xin Qingyi understood from the moment she left the capital that her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had arrived.
She didn't really care what became of Great Liang, just as nobody had ever cared whether she was safe when she lived there.
It didn't matter how the marriage turned out. She only knew that if she wanted freedom and control over her own life and death, this marriage was her best chance.
The prairie was where she truly intended to settle.
1. An older, seductive woman who takes the lead
2. A very calculating older woman. Whether you like it or not, I've set my sights on you, so you'll be the Great Chanyu.
3. Mutual devotion, sweet romance
