◎ A modern person who knows when to fight and when to yield, and that being too difficult will only bring trouble VS A fiery, possessive, dark-hearted princess
[Blurb]
On the second day after Xie Jin transmigrated into the body of a bandit chief, she received an urgent warning from the System:
[The beautiful amnesiac you forcibly married is the most doted-on Princess Shouning in the land]
[Survival strategy: fake your death before the real owner of the body regains her memories]
Looking at her gorgeous bedmate, Xie Jin packed her bags overnight, only to be driven back to the bridal chamber by the soldiers sent to wipe out the bandits.
The beauty clutched the hem of her clothes, the corners of her eyes tinged with begonia red. "Where is Your Majesty going?"
Xie Jin had meant to refuse, but then she heard the clash of swords outside and changed her mind. "I will never abandon you."

Xie Jin discovered that the princess was extraordinarily hard to please.
While fleeing, she'd rather use banknotes to start a fire than deign to eat roast rabbit; when taking shelter from the rain in an abandoned temple, she insisted on drawing a boundary line and demanded seven-tenths of the moonlight for herself.
"You sleep on the floor." The princess wrapped herself in a brocade quilt and gave the order imperiously.
Xie Jin was about to sneer when dazzling golden text suddenly exploded before her eyes:
[Reward for sharing a bed: 1 silk pillow]
[Reward for successfully feeding her: 1 full imperial banquet]
[Reward for holding hands for fifteen minutes: 10 pear blossom needles]
She got it at once: this wasn't a death sentence, it was a walking treasure trove!
When Xie Jin "accidentally" put her arms around the princess's slender waist for the 108th time, the System suddenly shrieked:
[The situation has changed! No one's at headquarters. Host, hurry back and carry out the redemption mission!]
Looking at the bandit stronghold she'd started rebuilding and the princess she'd fattened up until she was round and rosy, Xie Jin felt reluctant but had no choice. She spent the night composing lines like a heartless woman:
"What's so great about being royalty? You're not even a fraction as good as a Jiangnan courtesan."
"I've never liked you, not even for a moment. Your temper is awful, and you talk like a shrew."
On the day the rain poured down, Princess Shouning crushed the jade pendant that marked their love.
"Just you wait, Chief Xie."

When they met again, Xie Jin was carrying out a mission to "save a noblewoman forced into marriage."
The moment a jade ruyi lifted the bridal veil, the princess who should have been in the palace smiled brightly, a gold chain looped around Xie Jin's wrist.
"You said you didn't like shrews with bad tempers, so I've changed."
"This time, let me take care of you."
#So the one who needed saving from a forced marriage was me hahaha I'm not crazy
#System, come out. I promise I won't rip out your motherboard
#Why is my wife even more captivating after turning dark? Help
